Over the years, it's been a cycle that I'm glad that it was

Cause all my niggaz I was down with, kept it real with the love

Before I go, I gotta say what's on my mind

If it wasn't for a lot of y'all, I'd prolly lose my mind

I look back when it started, and how it ended up to be

I'm feeling Pac, you ain't never had a friend like me

But then again, I ain't never had a friend like y'all

So I'ma ride or die for life, no matter what time or the cause

And even though my brother gone, I still got a couple mo'

That I live and represent fo', even though it never show

Like my older brother Robert, and my brother Dub G

I had to let you know what you mean to me, 'fore I rest in peace

And I ain't saying I'ma die and all that, but I feel like my time coming

If I got it and you want it, you never gon want for nothing

To my lil' brother Mikey, I know I be gone a lot

But look here bro, I'm a rider and ain't no way I can stop

Just know that if you need me, I ain't hard to find

And to my brother Jay'Ton, you the next up in line

And everyone of us unique, so you'll get blessed with the shine

And thanks to ma, me you and Dinkie been raw with the rhyme



[Hook:]

If it's time for me to go, I know my family need to know how I feel

I dedicate, this motherfucker to you

I never told you face to face, but I appreciate you keeping it real

I dedicate, this motherfucker to you

Through all the drama that I see, y'all be the only ones that's keeping me strong

I dedicate, this motherfucker to you

I'm in a zone fighting tears through the night, that's why I wrote you this song

I dedicate, this motherfucker to you



[Trae:]

A lot of niggaz in the game played it shife, so it was hard for me to tell

Which one of my niggaz'd catch me, if I fell

To the best of my knowledge, I got some niggaz that'll ride for the house

And fuck the world, if they want it we gon ride for the house

Like BJ, K, Shep and Chris and lil' bad ass Bam

Shock T and Raw C, and all the SK fam'

Yeah 311 on lock, but he gon be home in a minute

And on the Blood's that he repping, it's gon be on in a minute

M-Bleek, T-Skimmins, Rick gave him a seel

I appreciate you, keeping it real

Dubs up, and ain't nobody have to take me under they wing

When they supported me, for doing my thing

Real recognize real, around here

Cause don't too many niggaz, keep it real around here

I had a few niggaz, that I met up in the game who embraced the guerilla

Told me keep my head high, and keep on chasing that scrilla

D-Bo, they say we ain't like we use to be

We came up from the jump, so folk we back like we use to be

Way before, 'an one of these niggaz even knew our name

And we was broke, with dirty jeans in the game

Don Juan you already know my nigga, it's whatever you need

And on my life, it go the same for your seed

And even to my niggaz locked up and gone, but they hoping they missed

I'ma rep it for you, just like this

All the way to Chow-How, we gon bang the cell

Fuck the C.O. for y'all, we gon bring them hoes hell

I really gotta put my heart out, to the family of Screw

Pat, Mafio and Gator and the rest of the crew

Can't forget about Duke, Big Mello and the kids that died

Without a warning, it's for you I'ma ride

And everything a nigga say 'cross this track, is the truth being said

Without my people, I would rather be dead



[Hook]



[Trae:]

Nothing ever lasts forever, they said it could but I know that it ain't

I feel its time, for me to say what I think

So to my old man Frasier, fuck the pride you my nigga for life

Without you and Debra Hughes, I know I wouldn't of been right

Without Beverly and my auntie, and the rest of my cousins

I had to let the world know, that I love em

To my motherfucking roll dogs, Boss and Ro

Even if we wasn't kin, you know the love would show

I know these motherfuckers, wanna see me losing my mind

But now I'm laughing at these motherfuckers, hating our shine

We got our weight up, Frost and Lil' B, Rock and Lil' T

Doug send me or nothing, frighten Louis and Grey D

Mario, and the rest of my people that's down to ride

For Brisha, all the way back into the Southside

T.O. you mean a lot, because you gave me my son

Just know I'm down, when it's all said and done

I know it's still a few niggaz, that I ain't get to mention

Dog I ain't gon play myself, you know I'm peeping the tension

Anyways, I guess I'm back to the subject at hand

I'm still S.U.C., so I'ma ride for it man

And to my niggaz who I use to hit the streets with, except for a few

I dedicate, this motherfucker to you

And to my people who I ever gave faith, helping to make it on through

I dedicate, this motherfucker to you



[Hook]



I deciate, this motherfucker to you [x4]
