[RZA]
Yo check yo yo
Check the script
Me and the gods get it ripped
Blunts in the grip, 40-dog's in my lips
Had a box, boom boom the bass will blast
We was laughin at all the girls that passed
Conversation, brothers had begin to discuss
"Hey yo Ra, remember that kid you bust?"
Ah yeah, he ran but he didn't get far
Cause I dropped him
Heh heh heh heh heh HA!
Not knowin exactly what lied ahead
My little brother, my mother sent him out for bread
Get the Wonder, it's a hot day in the summer
Didn't expect to come across a crazy gunner
Hey shorty, check him for the bag and the dough
But he was brave, looked him in the eye and said no
But he splattered him - POW! - then he snatched the bag
In his pockets then he jetted up the ave
Girls screamin
The noise up and down the block
(Hey Rakeem!)
What?
(Your little brother got shot!)
I ran frantically
Then I dropped down to his feet
I saw the blood all over the hot concrete
I picked him, then I held him by his head
His eyes shut, that's when I knew he was... Aww man!!
How do I say goodbye?
It's always the good ones that have to die
Memories in the corner of my mind
Flashbacks, I was laughin all the time
I taught him all about the bees and birds
But I wish I had a chance to sing these three words
After laughter comes tears
[Ghostface Killah]
Me and my man
My ace Big Moe from the shelter
Bout to hit skins from this girl named Thelma
Now Thelma had a rap that was higher than her neck
Every girl through Shaolin dissed her respect
We was slimmin
You know how it is when you're blitzed
Three o'clock in the morning, something gots to give
Moe said he'll go first, I said I'll take next
Here, take this raincoat and practice safe sex
He seemed to ignore, I said be for real
She's not even worth it to go raw there
A man's gonna do what a man's gonna do
He got butt naked and stuck the power-u
Twenty minutes went by, now I'm out
Without a doubt
I'm not pumpin up, I am airin out
Hey yo, he came out laughin with glory
I'm surprised he's still livin to tell his story
But he carried on with the same old stuff
With Stephanie, like a whammy, he pressed his luck
Fool tried to be down with O.P.P.
Ain't nuttin wrong but he got caught with the H.I.V. now
No life to live, doc says two more years
So after the laughter I guess comes the tears
