Memorial Lyrics - Singles - Cocoa Brovaz

Lookin out my window hypnotized by the rain 

In a trance reminicing bout the soldiers slain 

Fighting wars in the brain trying to maintain 

Hoping mama won't have to feel the pain 

Looking at a closed casket or a picture frame 

Even shorties that you banged won't forget your name 

Still feel strange how times do change 

We doing our thing and in our minds you remain 

As I uncap a 5th of Henny for my soldiers that's in memory 

Thinking 'bout the fun times we had together as family 

Blazin' 'till the sunshine 

Drinkin' the cheap wine 

I know I never find a brethren of the same kind 

But at the same time, I'm constantly writin' eulogies 

For my big homey locs and my loco g's 

Since '73 it seems death followed me to my man ?Tyshan Wells? 

Rest in Peace 

Chorus 

Oh why oh why oh why 

It's always the good ones that have to die 

Oh why oh why oh why 

Bob Marley die, ?Jacob Miller? die 

(repeat) 

Another day another burial 

Got you wondering 'bout the day when they bury you 

Tear drops stain the wally's that you rockin' 

On the block candles burn guns popin' 

I just came from the cemetery where my dog was buried 

Drop some buds in the earth to grow in they memory 

Thinkin' 'bout the fun times we had as fam 

Remembering the beef we got into but never ran 

I seen a kid get ate up by his own man one time 

Hid behind a car now look and duck and bust a ? 

On some Harlem Nights script 

But this some real life shit 

Heard his scull split when you seen the slug hit 

I watched the vultures swarmin' 

Prayin' on his garments 

They stay robbin' dead men 'cause they don't give 'em problems 

Heard the good die young be it by God or gun 

Paint my mural on the wall sayin' my job was done 

I shed tears when I hear news from my peers 

That my nigga Shawn Crady was no longer here 

Had me mad at my girl ready to take it to the world 

Drinkin' liquor 'till I'm damn near 'bout to 'url 

Got a jewel from my dog locked up in jail 

Told me son is in the essence resting 

All is well 

While you still here: accomplish your deads 

'cause you never know when it's your time to leave 

Repeat chorus several times
