 To my man G.O.V.  I remember how you used to be
 You were the illest man alive now I'm reading your eulogy
 Eyes so serious  you told me hold my head
 Pursue this rap shit and go forward never backwards
 While you gripped Tec's tight, and ran niggaz out of town
 I ripped up mics, showin wack niggaz how to sound
 Still your essence, was callin
 By two gunshots, at close range, your frame had fallen
 Now like a angel you've risen
 And you will stay in my heart, and yo I wish you were still livin
 Word... this is in memory of

 * I'm not sure about any of these names *

 Zachary Bro, Cousin Paula

 [Guru]
 To my man Brian B, I remember how you used to be
 You were the flyest in the club with three bitches doin rub-a-dub
 You was the pimp of all panderers
 GQ, Johnny Presley, fuckin up the elegances
 So many hookers on your schedule
 Slammin Cadillac doors and mackin whores on the regular
 You used to boost, the slickest of suits
 Climbin through the back windows on the bus, you was ill Dukes
 Until that chick you vicked, for the Cutlass
 started snillz-niffin ki-daine, and went to cut cha
 That freak shanked you six times in your sleep
 I wish you was here, cause your philosophy was mad deep
 Yeah... this is in memory of

 Keith 'Cowboy', Scott LaRock
 Prince Messiah "Rest in peace"
 Buffy, the Human Beatbox y'know
 Tupac Shakur "Rest in peace"
 Pinkhouse, Sub Roc
 O.G. Boo Bang, salute! "Rest in peace"
 Seagram's, Killa Black from Mobb Deep
 Biggie Smalls, yeah rest in peace
 Lance Owens y'all

 [Guru]
 To all my brothers doin time, whether or not you did the crime
 You know the system is devised to keep you deaf dumb and blind
 Like Scarface said, them cats are smart
 In order for things to change we must all play a part
 It's easy for us to blame society
 But now it's way too late, and we must take responsibility
 To all my brothers in the streets
 I know you feel you gotta hustle cause your peeps gotta eat
 Makin moves right and exact; don't wanna see you layin flat
 Don't wanna see ya catch a bullet black
 If we don't build we'll be destroyed
 That's the challenge we face in this race of poor and unemployed
 Freud, a philosopher, but I'm a realist
 So philosophize this, without love we won't exist
 To those who passed out there, in the deserts and the jungles
 with pain on their shoulders, and heavy bundles
 I pray each one will, ascend to new heights and new enlightenment
 And this is why I'm writin it
 Yeah... this is in memory of

 Linnet Grinnich, Cookie Murray
 Yeah "Rest in peace"
 Ross, Laverne La-La Eyelif
 John Hood "Rest in peace"
 Kevin Fredricks, Donny Charles
 Leslie Clark, and Will Clark "Rest in peace"
 Tommy Saunders, Princess Di
 Don Clark, Betty Shabazz "Rest in peace"
 This is in memory of...
 "Rest in peace
