Dead Homiez Lyrics - Kill At Will - Ice Cube

Verse One: 

Up early in the morning, dressed in black 

Don't ask why? 'Cause I'm down in a suit and tie 

They killed a homie that I went to school with (Damn!) 

I tell ya life ain't shit to fool with 

I still hear the screams of his mother 

While my nigga laid dead in the gutter (Shit!) 

And it's getting to my temple 

Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo? 

It makes me so mad I want to get my sawed-off 

And have some bodies hauled off 

But no, I pay my respects and I'm through (whaddup Cube?) 

Hug my crew, and maybe shed a tear or two 

And I wanna get blitz 

Grab my 40 ounce and then I reminisce 

About a brother who had to be the one and only 

So I dedicate this to my dead homiez...

Verse Two: 

Another homie got murdered on a shakedown {three gun shots} 

And his mother is at the funeral, havin' a nervous breakdown 

Two shots hit him in the face when they blasted {two gun shots} 

A framed picture and a closed casket 

A single file line about 50 cars long 

All drivin' slow with they lights on 

He got a lot of flowers and a big wreath 

What good is that when you're six feet deep? 

I look at that shit and gotta think to myself 

And thank God for my health 

'Cause nobody really ever know 

When it's gonna be they family on the front row 

So I take everything slow, go with the flow 

Shut my motherfuckin' mouth if I don't know(Word!) 

'Cause that's what Pops told me 

But I wish he could have said it... to my dead homiez

Verse Three: 

I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun 

Now it's "Rest in Peace" after every one 

Except me, but I ain't the one to front 

Seems like I'm viewin' a body after every month 

Plus, I knew him when he was yea big 

Pour beer on the curb before I take a swig 

But somethin' ain't right 

And it's a tragedy, that's the only time that the family's tight 

Lovin' each other in a caring mood 

There's lots of people and lots of food 

They say "Be Strong" and you're tryin' 

But how strong can you be when you see your Pops cryin'? 

So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up 

Because the city is so fuckin' messed up 

And everybody is so phony 

Take a little time... to think about your dead homiez.
