How long will they mourn me? Lyrics – Warren G , Nate Dogg
[Intro: 2Pac]
How long will they mourn me?
Yeah, this for my nigga Kato
It’s still on, nigga, believe that!
We live a Thug Life, thugs for life, ha ha
(How long will they mourn me?)
We handle this shit for you, bwoy
Yeah, nigga, 2Pac in this motherfucker
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
All my homies drinkin’ liquor, tears in everybody’s eyes
Niggas cried to mourn a homie’s homicide
But I can’t cry, instead I’m just a shoulder
Damn, why they take another soldier?
I load my clip and though my eyes blurry, don’t worry
I’ll get them suckers back before you’re buried
Retaliate and pull a one-eight-seven
Do real niggas get to go to Heaven?
How long will they mourn me? Bury me a motherfuckin’ G
Bitch, don’t wanna die, then don’t fuck with me
It’s kinda hard to be optimistic
When your homie’s lyin’ dead on the pavement twisted
Y’all don’t hear me though, I’m tryin’ hard to make amends
But I’m losin’ all my motherfuckin’ friends
Damn! They should’ve shot me when I was born
Now I’m trapped in the motherfuckin’ storm
How long will they mourn me?
Kim Petras ‘If Jesus Was a Rockstar’ Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
[Hook: Nate Dogg & 2Pac]
I wish it would have been another
How long will they mourn me?
How long will they mourn my brother?
(Half them niggas all dead and shit)
How long will they mourn me?
I wish it would have been another
(Dedicated this to Kato, nigga, and e’ry thug)
How long will they mourn me?
How long will they mourn my brother?
(Yo, nigga, we gotta keep this shit goin’ on; yo, Syke!)
[Verse 2: Big Syke]
How long will they mourn me? Every motherfuckin’ day, homie
You stayed down when the other niggas didn’t know me
From my heart to the trigger you my fuckin’ nigga
And things won’t be the same without you, nigga
I remember kickin’ back, you wanted a ‘Lac
And goin’ half on a motherfuckin’ hundred sack
Smokin’ blunt after blunt, and steady drinkin’
Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin’
Tell me, Lord, why you take big Kato?
So confused not knowin’ which way to go
I’m goin’ crazy and runnin’ out of fuckin’ time
I can’t take it, I’m losin’ my fuckin’ mind
So day after day, ride after ride
We’ll hook up on the other side
Watch over your family and your newborn
‘Til we meet again, homie – how long will they mourn me?
