    [dr. dre]
    This one is for my brother, tyree, r.i.p.
    .. {*mary j. blige sings in the background*} ..
    A message to god
    .. {*mary j. blige sings in the background*} ..

    [dr. dre]
    Since you finishin em early, what posessed you to start him?
    We made a vow - later we'll regret til death do us part
    Lord, i thought we was made for each other
    You shouldn't connect those, made to be taken away from each other
    Now what i'm supposed to do? i'm only half the man that i was
    I'll never last, cause my better half is up there with you
    You knew what you was doin when you made us; so with all due respect
    You coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him
    He can take the game with him, cause he defines the word
    The one who puts the g in it, who you think put me in it?
    I'm feelin like my whole world is blinded - wonderin why
    Cryin, pourin out my heart, pourin out liquor behind it
    We fought like brothers, somethin we never should do
    We coulda used time spent arguin tellin the truth
    He had talent too - i had plans on watchin him grow
    Don't know what hurts more - seein him leave, or watchin him go

    Youse a soldier, you're probably packin heat up there
    Met up with homies from the street, and got deep up there
    If you only knew the way i felt before they ruined the crew
    I thought i learned from eazy, now i'm goin through it with you
    We lost a thug, a son, and a father
    I spoke to your son, the other day, and told him uncle dre got him
    The lord must be accidentally pulling your file
    Cause i'm still paging you, 911, straight in denial
    Prayin you get it, but no man can choose the card he was dealt
    You either quit, or you gon' play it like you get it
    I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin a poker face
    To straight breakin down and showin all emotions
    I'm anxious to believe in real g's don't cry
    If that's the truth, then i'm realizin i ain't no gangsta
    It's just not me, but you know i'ma always ride wit you
    I miss you, sometimes i wish i just died wit you
