Flowers for the Dead
Cuban Link
Verse 1:
Twin, we've been best friends ever since we were little kids
So I sit an' reminisce on al the things we ever did
I remember all the stupid shit, I can't forget
Hope God forgive us for our sins and give you the strength to live
Far from sensitive, but I'm shedding tears right now
'Cause I'm watching you fight for your life an' I can't help out
Meanwhile, the doctor's shockin' your chest, checking for breath
I was with you form the stretcher to the hospital bed
Not believing it yet
Everybody sad and depressed
Counting your blessings, praying and praying, hoping for the best
Waitin' in back
Your wife, duke, shaking from stress
Breaking in tears and fear 'cause, dog, she loved you to death
Next thing you know, the doctor comes out just shaking his head
Nothing was said
But I read it in his face, full of sweat
You were dead
Just all I saw instead was blood-shot red
And I felt a chill throughout my body that I'll never forget
Chorus:
Flowers for the dead
At times I hear your voice still in my head
Wishing you were here instead
These precious memories I can't forget
(Las flores para los muertos)
(repeat)
Verse 2:
In my sleep, I hear you speaking to me
I feel you reaching to me
Wish I could see you, though I know you with me spiritually
Physically, right here besides me is where I need you to be
Keeping me company and take over this whole industry
Memories of when we used to be too deep in the streets
If there was beef, we had eachother's backs, naturally
If there was a need for me to grab the heat you'd grab it from me
And blast off with no remorse just as long as it's me
Young indeed
We sat and chat on the block puffing trees
Guzzling Hennessey
Playing knuckles 'til one of us bleed
You used to eat Rocks and read encyclopedias to me
You was a genius even though you had no college degree
We were homies, but you will always be a brother to me
So close, we always gave eachother a kiss on the cheek
Big P, your legacy will always live on the streets
And best believe I'ma be there for your wife an' three seeds
Rest in peace
Chorus
Verse 3:
yeah
This is dedicated to the ones who never made it
I hated the fact you faded away
You were the greatest
So I say this prayer to pay my respects
I'll never forget you 'cause you special
I'll catch you in my heart
May God bless you
Rest in peace to my peoples who passed away
Best believe I'ma keep you alive always
'Til the day we meet again
Face to face with a grin
In hell or heaven you my twin to the end
An' I'ma miss you
Chorus
