Just a Moment (feat. Quan)

This is just a moment

Dedicated to my mother

My grandmother

My father

All my **** in the pen

And all my **** that died in the struggle

Love y'all

Can we please have a moment of silence?

That's for my **** doing years of confinement

And for my soldiers that passed over, no longer livin'

That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em

Can we please pour out some liquor

Symbolizing this, take your time in to consider that

Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here

And we gon' rep till slugs kill us here

This for my dogs, stuck in the struggle, tryna gain

Smoking trauma, sniffing rah while selling cocaine

Trapped in the game that no one how to stop and get by

Delivered alive, so instead they live it to die

And can we please have a moment of peace?

For every G that fell for his flag in the streets

Blooding and thugging, folking an loc-ing, Crip-ing and creeping

Latin and King-ing or just for poor righteous teaching

As day comes and night falls

For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We still mourn while wishing y'all were home

As day comes and night falls

For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We still mourn while wishing y'all were home

And can we have another moment of silence?

For brothers who die from black on black violence

From here to the dark continent

Where rebels sell diamonds to clients

All through the world got little black girls dying

And can we please pour some more liquors?

For Will, Mokeem, Bar, Pappy, my ****

Here's another warriors song from Nasty and Quan

It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on

Street's disciples, salute to those who gone with bullets

And I promise to rhyme and Quan gon' rep this life to the fullest

And can we please have a moment of truth?

For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots

And families back home that pray they make it home safe

Hoping they don't get hit by a stray or missiles

This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you

Mommy, I'm still here wishing I was dead with you, let's take 'em home

As day comes and night falls

For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We still mourn while wishing y'all were home

As day comes and night falls

For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We still mourn while wishing y'all were home

And can we please have a moment to mourn?

For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on

Jam Master Jay, Freaky Tah and Aaliyah

Big L and Left Eye, when we die we hope to see you

Can we please have a moment for children?

Who got raped and murdered or trapped in this system

Who never knew they father, never learned to dream

But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends

For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad

Busting her ass to give her kids shit she never had

For my **** in the pen hoping rhymes will get 'em signed

So when released they can say bye to a life of crime

For every mother that held her son in the street bleeding

Crying the song of sorrow too dark and deep for speaking

Just a moment, outside the day to day stuggle

To let the ones we really care about, know that we love 'em

As day comes and night falls

For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We still mourn while wishing y'all were home

As day comes and night falls

For the rest of our lives we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We still mourn while wishing y'all were home

Yo

To my baby brother Tech

You know you was Lil' Dex, ****

In the feds

Big bro holding it down for you, boy

Just come home

Love you, my ****

I do this for you and me

When I shine, you shine

And most important, to my sister Tia

Out there in Iraq

Just know that we got the babies

My nephews gon' be fine

Put my life and my blood on that

We love y'all

One
