Thug Memorials

I wish, I wish, I wish
Duh-duh, na
I wish, I wish, I wish
Uh, uh, uh
Uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh
Uh-uh

And I was so lost for words, couldn't even cry up at your funeral
I come from that corner where the hustlers trap and shoot at you
Straight As and Scat packs, they ain't slidin' in no Subaru
Turn you to a savage, what them hard times'll do to you
All my homies died young, smokin' till my mind numb
Stepping like a martial, band might hit they block with nine drums
Took a lot of losses where-where me and all my guys hung
Opps talkin' shit, that left my pride stunned, uh

I wish that I could hold you tight now (I wish, I wish, I wish)
I'm grippin' on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)
I'm connected to your soul tonight, hopin' (I wish, I wish, I wish)
Everything my way (I wish, I wish, I wish)
Uh

Tim-Tim was my brother, we was suitin' up for graduation
I saw twin'em in them caskets, told myself: I gotta make it
Makin' moves and stackin' payments, SRTs and traffic races
Was most happy back in the day, it seem like now I'm tryna fake it
Twenty deep with all my cousins, tweakin' in my granny basement
Hot nights in the Summer time, with no sheet on that mattress bakin'
Now we let them choppers beat, I swear I love that kind of cadence
Money, have no time for waitin', fifty Ms, I'm tryna chase it
'Member when no care at all, runnin' through them projects
Why they ain't show the same love when I ain't beat the odds yet?
Masked up with no gloves, we send his ass where God at
We took over for the block, was fearless on that conquest
All I gotta say is: Go, now watch how all my soldiers ride
Treat him like he Trey, gon' let him out if he don't wanna slide
Shots hit him, but still in shock, that's why he left with open eyes
I'm from the trenches, deep up in that grass where all the cobras hide

I wish that I could hold you tight now (I wish, I wish, I wish)
I'm grippin' on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)
I'm connected to your soul tonight, hopin' (I wish, I wish, I wish)
Everything my way (I wish, I wish, I wish)

Wish I could be with you somehow
Can't put my gun down, 'cause I'm the one now
Mama, I'm my brothers keeper, I won't let your son drown
Always fightin' with the reaper, like I keep some gloves 'round, uh
I'm taking drugs until I'm incoherent, low and steady, disappearin'
But, 'fore you know, I'm forever thuggin', I can feel your spirit
Racin' to the finish line, look up, and I can hear 'em cheerin'
For feelings that I lost to gang, the only thing I'm still enduring

I wish that I could hold you tight now (I wish, I wish, I wish)
I'm grippin' on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)
I'm connected to your soul tonight, hopin' (I wish, I wish, I wish)
Everything my way (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
