This is dedicated to a very good friend of mine. This one's important to me. The lyrics say it all.
This one right here is special.
This is from my heart.
This is from my pen.
This is for my home.
This is for south side…
Most importantly, this is for Bucket.
Today i got high,
thought of you & wondered why,
bad things happen to good people,
I watched the game eat you alive.
You always had my side,
supporting me when it came to this rap shit.
When your cousins didn't like me,
you were the one who had my back, shit.
Now we all fam, B
your fam treats me like family.
Me & Mikey poppin now,
these haters here can't handle me.
now these bitches love me,
just like the way they love you,
you watched me create & live my dream
when u get home, all of yours will come true.
I see you gotta beard now,
the homies call em' sunnis.
You & me have lived the life
These punks only see in movies.
Us & Mike just stuntin,
blowin money on nothin,
B would have so many chicks,
Me & mike would be like "who's fuckin?"
You went and got a masters,
goin corporate on these bastards.
If someone asked me who had drive,
Brandon would be my answer.
Always had a job, shit, 2 or 3 at that.
Full time worker, full time student
2 degrees to match.
I'd visit you in Oregon,
just to smoke a pack of blacks.
we'd sit on your porch,
and play my raps,
that's where our dreams would hatch.
But the streets, they come calling,
It's so hard not to answer,
I've seen it take so many lives,
This game is worse than cancer.
I hope you get this kite though,
we wait for your return.
The world keeps turning,
the weed keeps burning,
there lessons to be learned.
Just do your time,
come home & shine,
don't worry or be concerned.
Life is full of 2nd chances
and soon you'll get your turn...
Listen when I say this,
this is something you should hear.
You were there when none were there,
I swear I'll be right here.
Live with love, don't live with fear,
always know we keep you near.
Always know i won't forget,
I don't care how many years.
Know that we all love you,
these girls still wanna fuck you,
they may be able to lock you up,
but i know you won't let them punk you.
I hope you hear my voice,
I'd break you out if i had the choice,
hold your head up,
don't you let up,
til you're back home with your boyz…
