How Long Will They Mourn Me? (feat. Nate Dogg)

How long will they mourn me?

Yeah, this for my **** Kato

It's still on ****, believe that

Thug life, thugs for life

How long will they mourn me?

2Pac in this mutha fucka

All my homies drinkin' liquor

Tears in everybody's eyes

**** cry to mourn a homie's homicide

But I can't cry, instead I'm just a shoulder

Damn! Why they take another soldier?

I load my clip before my eyes blurry

Don't worry, I'll get them suckers back before you're buried

Shit, retaliate and pull a 187

Do real **** get to go to Heaven?

How long will they mourn me?

Bury me a mutha fuckin' G

Bitch, don't wanna die?

Then don't fuck with me

It's kinda hard to be optimistic

When your homie's lyin' dead on the pavement, twisted

Y'all don't hear me tho

I'm tryin' hard to make amends

But I'm losin' all my mutha fuckin' friends

Damn!

They shoulda shot me when I was born

Now I'm trapped in the muthafuckin' storm

How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it coulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brother?)

How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it coulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brother)

How long will they mourn me?

Every muthafuckin' day, homie

You stayed down when the other **** didn't know me

From my heart to the trigger, you my fuckin' ****

And things won't be the same without you, ****

I remember kickin' back you wanted a 'Lac

And goin' half on a muthafuckin' hundred sack

Smokin' blunt after blunt and steady drinkin'

Hung around so much you knew what I was thinkin'

Tell me Lord, why you take Big Kato?

So confused, not knowin' which way to go

I'm goin' crazy and runnin' out of fuckin' time

I can't take it, I'm losing my fuckin mind

So, day after day, ride after ride

We'll hook up on the other side

Watch over your family and your newborn

Till we meet again, homie

How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brother?)

How long will they mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)

How long will they mourn me?

(How long will they mourn my brother)

Damn! A **** tired of feelin' sad, I'm tired of puttin' up work

I'm tired of cryin', watchin' my homies leave the earth

I know soon, one day, I'll be in the dirt

And my people's will be mournin'

When they get a call from the coroner

All **** can say is that's fucked up

And get tossed up, reminiscin' how we grew up (My ****)

Rest and love to my **** Kato

See you in the crossroads real soon

For now, let me pour out some brew

I'll be always thinkin' of ya homie

Rest in peace

How long will they mourn me?

Ya know, life's a fuckin' trip

And everybody gotta go

But why the fuck it have to be my **** Kato

Another **** fell victim to the chrome

It's enough to make you crazy

It's fuckin' wit' my dome

You only live once on this Earth a **** had it bad

Since the day of my muthafuckin' birth

But **** say they down

And they always be my homie

But when a **** gone

How long will you mourn me? Yeah!

(I wish it woulda been another)

Mack 10 in this muthafucker, yeah

How long will you mourn me?

Thug Life, boy (How long will they mourn my brother?)

Nate, blowin that shit, Nate Dogg, do that shit, ****, yeah

How long will ya mourn me?

This for my **** Kato and all his kids

How long will ya mourn me?

(I wish it woulda been another)
