[Chorus]
GHow many brothers fell Dvictim to the streets
Rest in Empeace young nigga, there's a Em7heaven for a G
Be a Clie, if I told ya that I Emnever thought of death
My nCigga, we the last ones lDeft
But life goes on
[Verse 1]
As I Gbail through the empty halls
DBreath stinkin' in my jaws
EmRing, ring, ring, quiet yEm7'all, incoming call
CPlus this my homie from Emhigh school, he gettin by
CIt's time to bury anoDther brother, nobody cry
GLife as a baller, Dalcohol and booty calls
EmWe used to do them as Em7adolescents, do you recall?
RaCised as G's, loc'ed out and Emblazed the weed
GCet on the roof let's get smDoked out and blaze with me
TGwo in the morning and we still Dhigh assed out
SEmcreamin thug till I Em7die before I passed out
BCut now that you’re Emgone, I'm in the zone
Thinkin I Cdon't wanna die all alDone            
But now ya gone
GAnd all I got Dleft are stinkin memories
EmI love them niggas to Em7death, I'm drinkin Hennessy
CWhile tryin to make it lEmast
I drank a fCifth for that ass when you pDassed
Cause life goes on
[Chorus]
How many brothers fell victim to the streets
Rest in peace young nigga, there's a heaven for a G
Be a lie, if I told ya that I never thought of death
My nigga, we the last ones left
But life goes on
How many brothers fell victim to the streets
Rest in peace young nigga, there's a heaven for a G
Be a lie, if I told ya that I never thought of death
My nigga, we the last ones left
And life goes on
[Verse 2]
Yeah nigga I got the word as hell
Ya blew trial and the judge gave you 25 with an L
Time to prepare to do fed time won't see parole
Imagine life as a convict that's gettin old
Plus with the drama we're lookin out for your baby's mama
Takin risks, while keepin cheap tricks from gettin on her
Life in the hood is all good for nobody
Remember gamin on dumb hotties at chill parties
Me and you no true a two
While scheming on hits and gettin tricks 
That maybe we can slide into 
But now you buried
Rest nigga cause I ain't worried
Eyes blurried, sayin goodbye at the cemetery
Though memories fade
I got your name tatted on my arm
So we both ball till my dyin days
Before I say goodbye
Kato and Mental rest in peace
Thug till I die
[Chorus]
How many brothers fell victim to the streets
Rest in peace young nigga, there's a heaven for a G
Be a lie, if I told ya that I never thought of death
My nigga, we the last ones left
And life goes on
How many brothers fell victim to the streets
Rest in peace young nigga, there's a heaven for a G
Be a lie, if I told ya that I never thought of death
My nigga, we the last ones left
Cause life goes on
[Verse 3]
Bury me smilin, with G's in my pocket
Have a party at my funeral, let every rapper rock it
Let the hoes that I used to know
From way before
Kiss me from my head to my toe
Give me a paper and pen
So I can write about my life of sin
A coupla bottles of gin incase I don't get in
Tell all my people I'm a Ridah
Nobody cries when we die
We outlaws let me ride
Until I get free
I live my life in the fast lane got police chasin me
To my niggas from old blocks from old crews
Niggas that guided me through back in the old school
Pour out some liquor have a toast for the homies
See we both gotta die but you chose to go before me
And brothers miss you while you’re gone
You left your nigga on his own, how long we moan
Life goes on
