lirik lagu gospel gangstaz - y can't da homies hear me? (original)
after he died, we realized…
it’s not worth it, it’s not worth yo life
[verse 1: mr. solo]
it was just last friday i heard about the news
i swings my feet up out my bed into my house shoes
its sat-rday morning, no yawnin, strictly mournin
i do’s my high jeans on, my d-ckies, i hear a h-rn and
its my homie chill, he comes to scoop me in the plush regal
to take me to the mall to pick up my black tuxedo
no words, the straight face, today’s no joke
stopped at the sto’ to buy a fresh pair of… loc’s
i wipe my tears up until my face was all cleared up
we bunches out to the house to get geared up
across the bed i laid, prayed, grieved within
i cried again at the thought my homie died in sin
tryin to claim the hood, straight puttin in work, getting played like spades
and it makes my heart hurt cuz my homeis won’t change
and to make matters worse, every other month
i’m visitin the pen or followin a he-rs-
escorted to a funeral, gang stereotype
cadillacs and folds rolls deep to a burial site
solo be tryin not to cry, but my eyes give my face a shower
i looks to god to give me strength and power as i drop the flowers on the casket
as i p-ss it, by and wonder why
and tell how many more homies got to die
before they realize that life is quicker than the eyes
and framin’ a rep by claimin your set will only lead to lost lives
but oh, mr. solo knows another way
and out of respect they sit and listen to every word they homie got to say
and when i speak i speaks clearly
but as they walks away they hits me up in the hood, why can’t my homies hear me?
[chorus: tik tokk]
why can’t the homies hear me? hey
the homies died in the hood always up to no good
lord why don’t you turn ’em around
help them put their bags down?
i can’t see, why can’t the homies hear me?
[verse 2: chille chill]
once again it’s the gospel gangsta, chill
rollin thru your hood in a brown coupe deville
the homies at the dope spot tryin to clock deals
packin hot steel, and just like milk they top bills
straight servin all the young g’s on the curb and
got that caine and urban, even got that sherman drinkin’ that bourbon
but they don’t know the po-po
got a videotape of their faces and they catchin cases
and the judge is stretchin ’em out like they plastic
i’m seein my homies goin to the pen, catchin years, that’s drastic
locked up with unaccomplished dreams and unfullfilled purpose
goin to h-ll cuz they wanted to sell, now was it worth it?
i know all about survival, i’m a ghetto man
but let me tell you what’s happenin’ on the devil’s plan
satan came to k!ll, destroy, and jack
but jesus came to give you life fo’ fact
but still you sell dope to the folk in your community
its time to sit down and have a long talk, loc, just you and me
i breaks ’em off to god way and it hurts me dearly
to see my homies hustle and get popped by the cops, why can’t the homies hear me?
[chorus]
[verse 3: solo]
uh, the homies is hitting me up like i’m the same solo
but no i’m changed, and no i don’t bang no more
dont even trip with me cuz solo don’t owe none of you
i know what eiht was talkin about, my hood was takin me under too
had to go for self, had to get me some help, so i can help someone else
i found the truth to pull my homies up off the devil’s shelf
i see what you see, do you see what i see
i go to my neighbourhood, the wall is filled with rips
i see ogs i looked up to cuz they was loc’ed out
i comes to the hood to find my big homies is smoked out
i tell them that the blood of christ is able to change your life
they wouldn’t listen and they overdosin’ every night
and my homegirls, no i can’t forget about em
i told ’em the brother was a hustler, “you can do without him”
but still she kicks it in, and now he’s in the wind
lord please draw near me so my homies can hear me
[chorus: tik tokk]
why tell me why why why can’t the homies hear me
the answer ain’t that ak
when you jump in your trays don’t spray
it’s jesus christ he’s alive the truth and way
tell me why
why lord
why
