    To my man G.O.V., I remember how you used to be
    You were the illest man alive now I'm reading your eulogy
    Eyes so serious, you told me hold my head
    Pursue this rap shit and go forward never backwards
    While you gripped Tec's tight, and ran niggaz out of town
    I ripped up mics, showin wack niggaz how to sound
    Still your essence, was callin
    By two gunshots, at close range, your frame had fallen
    Now like a angel you've risen
    And you will stay in my heart, and yo I wish you were still livin
    Word... this is in memory of

    To my man Brian B, I remember how you used to be
    You were the flyest in the club with three bitches doin rub-a-dub
    You was the pimp of all panderers
    GQ, Johnny Presley, fuckin up the elegances
    So many hookers on your schedule
    Slammin Cadillac doors and mackin whores on the regular
    You used to boost, the slickest of suits
    Climbin through the back windows on the bus, you was ill Dukes
    Until that chick you vicked, for the Cutlass
    started snillz-niffin ki-daine, and went to cut cha
    That freak shanked you six times in your sleep
    I wish you was here, cause your philosophy was mad deep
    Yeah... this is in memory of

    Keith 'Cowboy', Scott LaRock
    Prince Messiah "Rest in peace"

    To all my brothers doin time, whether or not you did the crime
    You know the system is devised to keep you deaf dumb and blind
    Like Scarface said, them cats are smart
    In order for things to change we must all play a part
    It's easy for us to blame society
    But now it's way too late, and we must take responsibility
    To all my brothers in the streets
    I know you feel you gotta hustle cause your peeps gotta eat
    Makin moves right and exact; don't wanna see you layin flat
    Don't wanna see ya catch a bullet black
    If we don't build we'll be destroyed
    That's the challenge we face in this race of poor and unemployed
    Freud, a philosopher, but I'm a realist
    So philosophize this, without love we won't exist
    To those who passed out there, in the deserts and the jungles
    with pain on their shoulders, and heavy bundles
    I pray each one will, ascend to new heights and new enlightenment
    And this is why I'm writin it
    Yeah... this is in memory of

    * I'm not sure about all of these names *
    Linnet Grinnich, Cookie Murray
    Yeah "Rest in peace"
    Ross, Laverne La-La Eyelif
    John Hood "Rest in peace"
    Kevin Fredricks, Donny Charles
    Leslie Clark, and Will Clark "Rest in peace"
    Tommy Saunders, Princess Di
    Don Clark, Betty Shabazz "Rest in peace"
    This is in memory of...
    "Rest in peace"
