[Intro-vocal sample]

"He Gave His Life today"

"He Gave His Life today"



[Verse 1-Tek]

It was a road block, comin' to a full stop

Canine, snipers on the rooftop

Yellow tape, orange cones, blue lights

...border past midnight

Hospital got my old lady screamin'

Red eye, wavy hair, black demon

Tell me, is this what I asked for?

It ain't like a nigga never saw blood before

But, "He Gave His Life today"

Could've sworn I saw the Heavens open

The world wonderin' why I gave up smokin'

They wonderin' why I gave up smokin'

I seen too many premonitions

From the cradle to the grave of our existence

When one leave, one return in the flesh

When that man took his left, my son took his first breath, so



[Hook-Jahdan w/vocal samples]

"He Gave His Life today"

So many youths drop out, livin' the gangsta life, oh

"He Gave His Life today"

Tryin' to live the gangsta's paradise

"He Gave His Life today"

Whoa, whoa, you got to think about your life seriously

"He Gave His Life today"

Freedom or life, locked up in the penitentiary



[Verse 2-Steele]

Yo, I wrote a song for the soldiers in the trenches

It's a long way from home, stay strong on your mission

Since you're gone, not much been different

Pop proud, mom misses, sent a letter with a picture

I ain't there with ya, but I'm there with ya

Take care, mister, we still here with ya 'cause we care, nigga

Over there similar to over here

Be prepared, nigga, God forbid, these the words I hear, nigga

"He Gave His Life today"

That'll make pop crazy, have mama screamin' "Not my baby"

The good die young, that's what they sayin'

In the hood where I'm from, that's an understatement

Call it The Matrix, where rodents and snakes live

The world of hatred, we go on to make it

We make sure 'fore we leave this game

That Boot Camp Clik name associated with greatness



[Hook-Jahdan w/vocal samples]

"He Gave His Life today"

Yo, so many youths drop out, livin' the gangsta life, oh yeah, uh

"He Gave His Life today"

Tryin' to live the gangsta's paradise, yeah

"He Gave His Life today"

Think about your life seriously, freedom or life, in the penitentiary

"He Gave His Life today"

Try to live the gangsta's paradise



[Verse 3-Louieville Sluggah]

I should be grateful and thankful for what I have

'Cause some don't even have half of what I have

They say "Henny on some shit"

Won't let near niggas slide 'cause that's how my homie died

They took his kindness for a weakness

And over the weekend, they left my boy sleepin'

That's why I can't play with ya

'Cause if you cross me over shit, I'ma let them things hit ya

"He Gave His Life today"

He was a good dude, good son, good father to his seed

Told 'em "Be all you wanna be"

Word up, I miss my road dog

You know, grindin', shinin', shoppin' and club hoppin'

Whatever the bank was, my boy stopped it

A quick 4,5,6 and then it's in the pocket

My boy was too raw, R.I.P. Rude Dog



[Hook-Jahdan w/vocal samples]

"He Gave His Life today"

Ugh, so many youths drop out, livin' the gangsta life, oh yeah

"He Gave His Life today"

Tryin' to live the gangsta's paradise

"He Gave His Life today"

Think about your life seriously, freedom or life, in the penitentiary

"He Gave His Life today"

Try to live the gangsta's paradise



[Verse 4-Buckshot]

Look at your boy now, he tryin' to come up

Think he grown 'cause he can curse and roll up

Hold up, I know that ain't a pistol shorty

You barely a teen, what you mean you rip through shorty?

And who said it was corny to be cool

Better then be a savage, or you rather be that fool?

The facts prove that that move is not smooth

I got niggas pushin' flowers like that, who knew

"He Gave His Life today"

Hmm, and if he would've thought smarter

He might've been able to start a

Family, damn a D fall for the same thing

So I keep you dry in the rain

No shame will remain, there's so many things in the game

That'll mess with your brain, so maintain

'Cause, I knew a shorty your age

Thirteen, shot by a thirty-year-old gauge, and...



[Hook-Jahdan w/vocal samples]

"He Gave His Life today"

Huh, so many youths drop out, livin' the gangsta life, oh, oh

"He Gave His Life today"

Uh, Tryin' to live the gangsta's paradise, yeah

"He Gave His Life today"

Think about your life seriously, freedom or life, in the penitentiary

"He Gave His Life today"

Locked away for a century, yeah, hey yeah



[Outro-Jahdan]

So many youths drop out, livin' the gangsta life

Tryin' to live the gangsta's paradise

Think about your life seriously, freedom or life, in the penitentiary

Send him a lord with the red and the blue

And there be a wicked man holdin' down your crew

You don't know what they will or won't do

Now the gun bangin' at you, yeah

"He Gave His Life today"

So many youths drop out, livin' the gangsta life

Tryin' to live the gangsta's paradise

Think about your life seriously, freedom or life, in the penitentiary

Locked away for a century, yeah, hey yeah, oh yeah
