Why did my homie have to die  with tears in my eyes
 I came to say goodbye  say goodbye
 (repeat 2X)

 Just passin through to let you know that I remember the times we shared
 Your mother prayed for us both night and day
 I guess this is what she feared
 The picture in my room keeps your image sharply in my head
 All in my head
 I just can't let go of the memories I had; will this madness ever end?

 *Chorus*

 Sometimes I wonder if it's better to be free or be in jail
 Incarceration at this time to me is better than heaven or hell
 I often wonder if you?d still be here if you had won your bet
 Won your bet
 You most likely soon see me we?ll all be a memory
 if we don't change this mess... change it or we gone y?all

 *Chorus*

 Hi, passing you through to let you know
 Passing you through to let you know
 That I, gonna tell everyone I know
 Gonna tell everyone I know
 How we, used to send them to the floor
 Used to send them to the floor
 Have we, have we forgot to mourn

 Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn
 Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn

 *Chorus 3X
