[00:00.00]Dead Homiez (Explicit) - Ice Cube (冰块酷八)
[00:00.22]Up early in the morning dressed in black
[00:03.07]
[00:03.65]Don't ask why 'Cause I'm down in a suit and tie
[00:07.70]They killed a homie that I went to school with
[00:10.26]I tell ya life ain't sh*t to fool with
[00:12.26]
[00:13.34]I still hear the screams of his mother
[00:15.46]While my ni**a laid dead in the gutter
[00:17.48]
[00:19.00]And it's getting to my temple
[00:20.32]
[00:20.94]Why is that the only time black folks get to ride in a limo
[00:25.13]It makes me so mad I want to get my sawed-in
[00:27.78]
[00:28.30]And have some bodies hauled in
[00:29.59]
[00:30.14]But no I pay my respects and I'm through
[00:32.89]Hug my crew and maybe shed a tear or two
[00:35.53]
[00:36.11]And I wanna get blitz
[00:37.23]
[00:38.30]Grab my 40 ounce and then I reminisce
[00:41.19]
[00:41.83]About a brother who had to be the one and only
[00:45.03]So I dedicate this to my dead homiez
[00:46.58]
[00:58.42]Another homie got murdered on a
[01:00.35]Shakedown three gun shots
[01:01.68]And his mother is at the funeral
[01:03.28]Havin' a nervous breakdown
[01:04.35]Two shots hit him in the face
[01:06.28]When they blasted two gun shots
[01:07.60]A framed picture and a closed casket
[01:10.14]
[01:10.67]A single file line about 50 cars long
[01:12.82]
[01:13.59]All drivin' slow with they lights on
[01:15.38]
[01:15.96]He got a lot of flowers and a big wreath
[01:18.83]What good is that when you're six feet deep
[01:21.36]I look at that sh*t and gotta think to myself
[01:24.02]
[01:25.34]And thank God for my health
[01:27.00]'Cause nobody really ever know
[01:28.34]
[01:29.66]When it's gonna be they family on the front row
[01:32.77]So I take everything slow go with the flow
[01:36.15]And shut my motherf**kin'
[01:37.25]Mouth if I don't know
[01:38.42]
[01:39.30]'Cause that's what Pops told me
[01:40.55]
[01:41.26]But I wish he could have said it to my dead homiez
[01:43.95]
[01:55.49]I remember we painted our names on the wall for fun
[01:58.35]
[01:58.87]Now it's ＂Rest in Peace＂ after every one
[02:00.96]
[02:01.65]Except me but I ain't the one to front
[02:04.49]Seems like I'm viewin' a body after every month
[02:06.32]
[02:07.54]Plus I knew him when he was yea big
[02:09.72]Pour beer on the curb before I take a swig
[02:12.14]
[02:13.17]But somethin' ain't right
[02:14.80]
[02:15.60]When it's a tragedy that's the
[02:16.97]Only time that the family's tight
[02:18.24]
[02:19.24]Lovin' each other in a caring mood
[02:21.26]
[02:21.83]There's lots of people and lots of food
[02:24.19]
[02:24.75]They say ＂Be Strong＂ and you're tryin'
[02:26.80]
[02:27.34]But how strong can you be
[02:28.64]When you see your Pops cryin'
[02:29.86]So that's why Ice Cube's dressed up
[02:31.06]
[02:31.66]Because the city is so f**kin' messed up
[02:34.00]
[02:35.09]And everybody is so phony
[02:36.73]
[02:37.91]Take a little time to think about your dead homiez
