Chorus: 2X's
When will I see my friends
as the time go I could never
When will I see my friends
in this time lord I need some

When will I see my friends

Mr. Serv On:
Have you ever tried to count every raindrop
before it hit the ground probably not better yet
count every love one or friend that aint around I did
hopin that the time it took it would ease my troubles in
the end all I got was to many tears an my reflection in a
puddle sometimes I just want to stand in the rain and look up
with my arms open hopin God could tell me why babies die
why my cousin Fish keep smokin, mama told me say a prayer
and it'll ease the pain you think Mouse before he died
at lease smile and said his son name I'd give anything
if I could hear my Aunt Gussie curse me out
Auntee if you see Randall tell him his pad holdin up and
hold me a place in his new house cause so many nights
I look at my Dun and ask myself whats the purpose its been a
long time since I been to church is that reason enough to hurt us
they told my cousin he got HIV known he facin death he walk
around with a smile, every Sunday he praisein a thought he
still Gods child and mama lost a nephew and a sister in the same
year and never once I saw her just lay down, give up and
shed a tear

Chorus: 2X's

Mr. Serv-On:
See Steve in North Carolina lil brother Tony had five
mouths to feed, God did Joeys killers know that before they
shot him to his knees, God please tell me I'ma I a good father

already got a troubled soul and it seem like I'm runnin my last
and final race if derall and Ken not to busy send a little
sunshine to they lonely brothers face I know everybody they die
for a reason you think my cousin Chuck with his last breath
wanted a hit of Gin before leaven or if Momo was still liven
my family wouldn't look at each other with so much hate we'd
all be speakin Shhh!! Fat rube mama never got to enjoy grandkids
homie I know its hard when your son ask to see his their other
grandmother and where she live I go to the Cemetery and it seem
like the only place I find peace do you really believe a man
when he let out of jail he really free I think if I was a bird

I think everybody I love would come back and I'd be to far to come
back to enjoy dat Day
