Chorus: 2X's

When will I see my friends

as the time go I could never

When will I see my friends

in this time lord I need some

When will I see my friends



Mr. Serv-On:

Have you ever tried to count every raindrop 

before it hit the ground probably not better yet 

count every love one or friend that aint around I did

hopin that the time it took it would ease my troubles in

the end all I got was to many tears an my reflection in a

puddle sometimes I just want to stand in the rain and look up

with my arms open hopin God could tell me why babies die 

why my cousin Fish keep smokin, mama told me say a prayer

and it'll ease the pain you think Mouse before he died

 at lease smile and said his son name I'd give anything 

if I could hear my Aunt Gussie curse me out 

Auntee if you see Randall tell him his pad holdin up and

hold me a place in his new house cause so many nights 

I look at my Dun and ask myself whats the purpose its been a

long time since I been to church is that reason enough to hurt us

they told my cousin he got HIV known he facin death he walk

around with a smile, every Sunday he praisein a thought he 

still Gods child and mama lost a nephew and a sister in the same 

year and never once I saw her just lay down, give up and 

shed a tear

Mr. Serv-On:

See Steve in North Carolina lil brother Tony had five 

mouths to feed, God did Joeys killers know that before they 

shot him to his knees, God please tell me I'ma I a good father

already got a troubled soul and it seem like I'm runnin my last

and final race if derall and Ken not to busy send a little 

sunshine to they lonely brothers face I know everybody they die 

for a reason you think my cousin Chuck with his last breath 

wanted a hit of Gin before leaven or if Momo was still liven 

my family wouldn't look at each other with so much hate we'd 

all be speakin Shhh!! Fat rube mama never got to enjoy grandkids 

homie I know its hard when your son ask to see his their other 

grandmother and where she live I go to the Cemetery and it seem 

like the only place I find peace do you really believe a man 

when he let out of jail he really free I think if I was a bird 

I wouldn't fly away cause for some reason 

I think everybody I love would come back and I'd be to far to come

back to enjoy dat Day
