[Hook x2: Lia Mack] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got outta bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'll all be gray but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad [Verse 1: Jon Connor] Dear Chris, I hope these words reach you My only regret is that I never get to meet you I used to scream the words to juicy 'til my voice were hoarse Now my mama smiles when she sees my face in the source I think to myself, Is this what you envisioned? And how different would the game be if you were still living Fat, black, ugly as ever but we ain't give a shit True lyricist and now we caught up in these images In ignorance we act like we can't remember when you was on the radio Killing shit, just spitting the realest shit Between you and I sometimes all I do is cry Cause you was the only one who was ready for you to die And we say you was the greatest cause we know you spit your soul And today you can't blow unless you doing what you're told And I'm just letting you know how much your legacy meant to me And just know that lyrically you will always live through me [Hook] Songtexte[Verse 2: Jon Connor] Yeah, dear Pac it's like I'm the only one fighting One of the last who still gives a shit of what he's writing I hate when people talk about you and all they got was Thugging Cause 'keep ya head up' was what taught me how to treat a woman And all the controversy is what folks like to remember But my nigger had a sister, who had the same story as Brenda And see you knew her pain that was the only thing that mattered Just why don't you go and ask her if 2Pac was just a rapper But you, you had a message and we felt it And you knew the story of the struggle and you wasn't scared to tell it You told that if you don't change the world then your words will plant the seeds You know 'bout where I'm from I got you and Breed on repeat You showed me the sky's the limit from a rapper to an actor From the background dancer to a screen with Janet jackson You showed me as a writer that my job is to inspire Always reach for the stars but you told me to reach higher, for real [Hook] [Verse 3: Jon Connor] Dear Breed, I was only 20 when I met you I'm just glad that I got to tell you how much I respect you You was our beginning, you gave us our sound "Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin" gave us reason to be proud Instead of being a city under a dark cloud You gave us a reason to say Flint and say it loud The first rapper I ever knew as a child it made me smile And as a grown man I still get that same feeling now I never listen to the haters, never listen to the comments Cause I promise that my remake was a tribute paying hommage And I don't want no sympathy ain't do it for publicity I guess it was just in me to do it for your memory Never tought that I get backlashed for that song Cause how could such good intentions get taken so wrong? But when Erica came and hug me with tears in her eyes I knew that what I did was right and felt your tears from the sky, love [Hook] Aus Songtexte Mania
