Where It All Begins

Yo
When I wrote this I was out of focus
Vision blurred from the tears
Voice shaken when I talk, it's like my words wasn't clear
Could deform from my air and looked at it, puzzled
These niggas with guns is all thumbs and no muscle
Put the draw key like an RTs in these dark streets
Widin' out like rockweilers on a dog leash
My nigga got shot twice
Trippin' off the news I just heard
Feelin' the pain but they was just words

Imagine, bullets gashing, puttin' holes through your latest fashion
You in the casket, your face is batten
It hurts to think about it
It even hurts more to know you was gettin' closer
To putting your foot in the door, rest eternally
You was definitely a real nigga
Can't forget the times for citing rhymes in the shell with ya
Here we are sinners, actin' like we was never saved
But as long as you wear my heart you in a better place

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you, you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you, you

Ayo pie (what's the deal?), let's conversate for a minute ('bout what?)
'Bout this f'd up world and what's in it (as far as what?)
As far as crime on the street bein' prevented
From Casper to our heart, no feelings

His death got me puttin' on a suit, lookin' in the mirror thinkin'
It's trite, for the first time in my life consider drinking
Two for your man's wrist, bodies in the ambulance stiff
And this to catch you share future plans with
Just the other day, and you swear you were see him
Just the other day, thought the long line waitin' to see him
But forget that, you gotta remember the better days
We all dreamed of being stars but you throwing off UV rays
I guess the cosmos with the colosso, alpha chemicals
You probably strikin' down, maybe thinking it wasn't filling you
Just kiddin', you can never see the world through your vision
We could try to see a living through your ritters, real

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you, you

Ayo L (what up, do?), let's conversate for a minute ('bout what?)
'Bout this f'd up world and what's in it (as far as what?)
As far as crime on the streets bein' prevented
From Casper to our heart, no feelings

So put your minds up, pray the Lord to take this stress away
It could bring a better day, for the second time
'Cause after losing a loved one, a piece of mind, some people never find it
And it while your time and while when you was finished shine
Burnin' in cold blood, niggas is gettin' sicker
But for one of some shit like this I didn't picture
Was in the studio when I got the news that your life sent
Twisted me up and made me wanna do a song right there

We take for granted our time here, wouldn't figure my time's near
You wasn't either until I saw you lyin' there
And it make you put it in perspective dawg how precious life is
What niggas is capable of and what trife is, I felt it
Through the tears of my girl who went to school with you
And every other cat that bust rhymes and was cool with you
So over you be reminisc' do
My nigga bugs and plugs the dirty dozen, one love

In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you, you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you, you
In the beginning there was, in the beginning there was
In the beginning there was you, you, you
