[Intro] Billboard Talking
This ma nigga from way back since we was kids
like no what am saying we something like you could
say a gangbanging dynasty or something like
no what am saying cause his older brother Big Face
and ma older cousin they ran together so they hocked us
up together when we was lil kids no what am saying
we both know so we used to spit but he would take it more serious
than me no what am saying I was fucking up like getting in and out of jail and shit no what am saying but he made it happen he came back and got me like he said he would no what am saying its Black Wall Street me and the Game

Game talking
We could never be friends
nah never be friends

[Verse 1]
Yeah yo I walk through the valley of death
Vest on, Teflon nine approached in my Hurricane sweats
Black chrome my shoulder, big wheel ˜till it's over
He never got to see me put black chrome on the Rova
Reading your obituary wishing we never met
So I wouldn't have to shed tears or wake up in cold sweats
Lookin' at this bottle of Hennessy wishing you never left
Wishing I chased your Monte Carlo down and gave you my vest
Or better yet I wish they never let you out
And I never got that phone call tellin' me that you out
Wish you never signed the release form
I wouldn't have had to clear this sample or use this track to say rest in peace for
You wanted to know if Dre and Em felt you they did
fore I could tell you someone killed you
I feel pain for everyone that ever knew the real you
Call Nas let him know I got an air will too

[Chorus]
Ma nigga if you look in the mirror
Would you see things clearer
ma nigga who are you
Ha ma nigga do you know where you headed
Do you know who you are why you do the thing you do
You ma nigga
Ma nigga if you look in the mirror
Would you see things clearer
ma nigga who are you(who are you)
ma nigga do you know where you headed
Do you know who you are why you do the thing you do
You ma nigga

[Verse 2]
Nigga's politicin' wanna know why I'm rhymin' different
My best friend got murdered, nigga ma mind is different
If you ain't never spent no time in prison
You can't understand these bars or the lines I'm spittin'
Nigga's rallin' me up let's go find a victim
I can't do it homie that's the reason Shyne in prison
And through devine intervention ten plus years doing crime in the trenches
Multiply by the time we spent in the kitchen
And that's a life worth of hard livin', Cuban cigar tippin'
Twelve grey ditichin' purple serve by the jar sippin'
If you lost a homie you know friendship is God given
I've done seen the church so much you'd think I was born Christian
I've done seen more dead bodies than a mortician
Seen nigga's in and out of county blues like they was born cripin'
So I'm a keep on livin' cause when I'm gone nigga's ain't gonna do shit
But fuck my bitch and pour liquor

[Chorus]
Ma nigga if you look in the mirror
Would you see things clearer
ma nigga who are you (who are you) (who are you)
Ha ma nigga do you know where you headed
Do you know who you are why you do the thing you do
You ma nigga
Ma nigga if you look in the mirror
Would you see things clearer
ma nigga who are you(who are you) (who are you)
ma nigga do you know where you headed
Do you know who you are why you do the thing you do
You ma nigga

[Verse 3 ]

What if you was me and you had to sit through a whole funeral
Why a pastor reading your homeboys eulogy
I'm already dead what the fuck you gonna do to me
Keep talking shit a empty ma clip and that g-unit T
Give me a minute to say ma grace with God
A see his face in the mirror I came a long way to talk
And tell you your mom's is missing you your pop's is missing you
Just saw your baby picture in your grandmother's living room
Face is missing you homey Reek is missing you
Thank god you left us memories and songs to listen to
Vel is missing you the hood is missing you
Let ma son graduate high school and am a come visit you
The world is missing you Eminem was feeling you
Dre said he felt you vibe the lil time he spent with you
Pour the Hennie out cause he aint here in the physical
They say real men don't cry but nigga am missing you

[Chorus]
Ma nigga if you look in the mirror
Would you see things clearer
ma nigga who are you (who are you) (who are you)
Ha ma nigga do you know where you headed
Do you know who you are why you do the thing you do
You ma nigga
Ma nigga if you look in the mirror
Would you see things clearer
ma nigga who are you(who are you) (who are you)
ma nigga do you know where you headed
Do you know who you are why you do the thing you do
You ma nigga

[Outro] Billboard talking
