Verse 1
(A minor) I (E major) don't talk about life
(F major) But her father did too (D minor)
He smiled on the outside (A minor)
He was soulful and cool
(E major) See Den (A minor) nis was a king
(F major) But also was bruised (D minor)
He made the world smile (A minor)
But no one had known
Born in Georgia
with the streets of Brooklyn
Raised them right,
(F major) one of the sixth for the brothers
He was first to fight,
(D minor) he protect you, hold you down
When the shit was gritty,
(A minor) one of the walker boys
Well known around the city,
the crazy things from the 90's
Got him crazy chains,
(F major) cut in the brawl, sling the pieces
With the crazy names,
(D minor) the love a bomb a pockets full
He would spread the wealth,
(A minor) had a daughter and a son
Was more than just for self,
he moved to Scranton
Cause the families in the Poconos,
(F major) it was quiet for his kids
The door was open, yo
(D minor) Kipper blade by his side,
nobody caught him slippin'
(A minor) Time progressin' with the times,
people started trippin'
Livin' (E major) legal, makin' (A minor) resumes in 9 to 5s
(F major) Set the example,
it's a good way I could stay alive
(D minor) Get a check and let me cash it,
Porsche and go to mom's
(A minor) It's not enough to keep me goin',
workin' for this job
But 97 (E major) hit him hard at the (A minor) Broadway bar
(F major) He got the buzzin' off from dad,
now he on his job
(D minor) Pull up on him, scope the place,
make sure the shit was cool,
(A minor) defend his brother by his side
against the other two,
T and Robert came through
said let's make a move,
but (F major) see he hot so Dennis
tryna make (D minor) a move,
these niggas left came back
but they brought the (A minor) two,
one fire in the air
the place now turning loose,
shots rung out
and everybody dumb out (F major) ,
everybody in the car
the wheels spun out (D minor) ,
took the gun from out his hand
and said this how you (A minor) do it,
spot the car that's peeling off then he
Shot a few, hit a tire,
lookin' over,
only glass and dag
Tears (F major) pourin' through the night,
the racist got (D minor) his head
Lines are runnin' out the house,
the baby boy's (A minor) dead
Dennis thought that was for him,
with the shit he said
How (E major) did you cope with the slurs?
(A minor) Tried to keep him (F major) safe
From here on out,
that's when Dennis hit
a different place
(D minor) Playin' Diddy in the house
to see a smilin' face
(A minor) Started drinkin',
any second he could catch a case
Havin' (E major) moments, writin' (A minor) poems,
tryin' to ease his mind
(F major) His trust for people got diluted
as we move in time
(D minor) Watch him stagger up the stairs
in the freshest gear
(A minor) The fly guard tightens circle
for the family there
Smile proud next to T's Ashanti
in the service
(F major) Ray see me doing fine,
life for me is perfect
(D minor) Fighting demons
but the smile she got for me is (A minor) worth it
The smell of liquor out his pores
still the sign of hurt
Now he know the local bars
is karaoke king
But (F major) he fight in pain with joy
as he started (D minor) singing
Put the money on his books
when boo had started (A minor) ringin'
Relationship with Mary
Shorty had a nigga thinkin'
See her husband out there servin'
so she never (F major) see him
And hands scrintin' every day
but is it really (D minor) meanin'?
Shorty love me, love me
not like it's a nigga dreamin'
(A minor) Off and on throughout the years
like is y 'all even speakin'?
May (E major) be I'm reachin'
but this here's mother knew
she (G major) leachin'
(F major) Have invites like every night
and then they back to (D minor) creepin'
Shit was crazy as it's goin'
and the feelings deepen
Try (A minor) in' to swim without a raft
and he in the deep end
Why (E major) everybody (A minor) hatin' on me
cause the swag is (G major) clean
With (F major) me doin' good and always
on the scene
(D minor) Don't nobody gotta know
he out there servin' fiend (A minor) s
The man was givin' if he loved you,
you would never need
Feelin' lonely all the time
like it's nowhere to (F major) turn
Newports back to back and hit it,
you can feel the (D minor) burn
Family lookin' at him funny,
leavin' some con (A minor) cern
In his moments, hit it well
and never said a word
Thanksgiving was the world,
saw his baby girl
Brought (F major) a man, held her hand
and it made him (D minor) hurl
Started bonding, started clicking
while they playing (A minor) Earl
Broke her down, I love your daughter,
may I have her, sir?
Left the room, so much joy,
this my son (G major) -in -law
Dropped (F major) the law, he said, fuck it,
this right here my (D minor) dawg
Drank, partied till he threw up
on the bathroom (A minor) floor
But he mixin', just a mixin',
I get at you, dawg
Joy (E major) and pain for Dennis,
still triple (A minor) beam scale
(F major) He will lash out at some times,
but he mean well
(D minor) Broken hearted, felt alone,
cause he felt the guilt
(A minor) Dead killed, but no attention
to the bond he built
Ain't told (E major) him soon, he saw (A minor) a doctor,
now not feeling right
(F major) Darkest scene in the family,
trying to save his life
(D minor) Shorty in there standing by,
trying (E major) to hide the white
(A minor) He not breathing on his own,
is this the end of life?
Or the drinking from depression
bled eternally?
(F major) Prayin' lies that make the
card live eternally
(D minor) Shakti cryin' on the floor
like this don't work for me
(A minor) Can I see him one more time
cause this is hurtin' me
Claim it's COVID
so they kept out there purposely
Like (F major) it was heinous,
closed the casket after surgery
He's (D minor) not an angel lookin' down,
shit with daggers settled
(A minor) Pour a blackhead one more time
while it hit the metal
I heard him speakin',
hangin' pictures
and he said he fine (F major)
Translation,
what a life I'm givin' you is mine
(D minor) Enjoy each other,
days ain't promised,
only up to time
(A minor) I'm still here no matter what,
while you in that bind
That's my (E major) son -in -law,
talk and let him (A minor) share my life
(F major) And say thank you baby girls,
now I'm lawyer wife
(D minor) I know you gotta,
but the family gotta stick together
(A minor) Re member me for being happy,
how I lived forever
Haven't (E major) got a nigga trip (A minor) pin',
got a nigga blingin'
(F major) Almighty God gave me a show
and now a nigga singin'
(D minor) No more pain is felt with me,
this is livin' life
(A minor) Tell the walkers,
Hogan's forces gon' be alright
Good night, good night, good night,
good night (F major) (D minor) (A minor)
(F major) (D minor)
(A minor)
(F major) (D minor)
(A minor)
(F major) (D minor)
(A minor)
(F major) (D minor)
(A minor) .
