[Napoleon (Benzino)]
Don't worry soulja (Made Men, Outlawz)
Yo, pain ain't nuthin but a part of the game
They got us real fukked up
Ain't nuthin but a part of the game, deal wit it

[Napoleon]
Life -- is a hustle, I got my .45 waitin to bubble
I lost a lot of my loved ones to the struggle
It's like I'm holdin back my breath through a muzzle
It's like I got one more piece to complete the puzzle
You only got one chance cuz I don't love you
And I'll be boned if I cock back and slug you
For all my dead nikkas, that's above you
It's like a feud, my family ain't around they done
And if I lose one more soulja I'ma drown someone
Who Makaveli? I give you eight to ya belly
For Killa Khadafi, please tell the cops to stop me
My brother Seeky, I'ma ride all night for ya
And do the same for Gustafa and Big Mike soulja
This to my main man comin from a Made nikka
I feel your pain, hold ya head, let's get paid nikka

[Benzino]
Yo hear my number Polly, call me
And anytime you wanna talk about the situation, involve me
I understand just what your goin through
I lost nikkas too.. I shed tears too..
I can't cry no more, yo Tony what'chu die for?
Three strike 915 is what I ride for
You and Roc hold it down, we aight (we aight)
We with the Outlawz, sippin Henny all night
Been goin through that shyt since day one
I think I live this long, cuz I live by the gun
But that's the question, I know my life is dee-per so feel me
Cheated death many times when nikkas tryed to kill me

[Chorus - Young Noble]
I feel yo' pain! - Sick torment 'til he's guarded
Keep us caged like dogs, go to shyt in the yard
I feel yo' pain! - Drownin in the rain and shyt
The only thing that's fukked up, we can't change this shyt
I feel yo' pain! - nikka yo I'm just like them
When I was broke on the block I had clips like them
I feel yo' pain! - Speak it to ya straight from the heart
No matter what you come across you gotta live, get lost

[Kastro]
Ain't nothin to fear in this love affair, when shared with the streets
I'm in deep losin all kinds of sleep
Ain't no love, so my eyes don't blink
And I'm so shell-shocked I need to see a shrink
It stink, stinks so much I can't think
And when it hurts too bad, I numb it up with a drink
And chase my liqour with a bad temper
Too fukkin blind for the big picture
Losin my mind, it's just a sign of the times
And when my loved ones go, part of my insides dying wit 'em
shyt, ain't nobody to blame, can't nobody complain
Can you feel my pain?

[E.D.I.]
Would you look into my world and tell me what you see now?
Nothing but emptiness, God replinish this
fukkin with Devils shyt I'm tryna stay righteous
Losin my love I ain't felt pain like this
Start of this motherfukkin game wasn't nice shyt
I fukk around lost the one thing priceless
Cars and broads won't do, dawg'll slice shyt
I'm just passin the time until my number hit
fukk it I'll run wit it, until I feel I'm done wit it
Stack up the ones and let my sons come up rich
Clutchin a piece of the past, I move on
Using this pain to keep a nikka strong

[Chorus - Young Noble] 2x

I feel it...

 

[spliz]

Son I'm listening to this shyt RIGHT NOW and came in the thread to post it...lol

 

[The Ruler 09]

 

[The Ruler 09]

That Wise Intelligent track I posted is about his mum that passed and saying he's just passing the time until he's with her again, dope song, pouring his soul out into that shyt...

 

[The Ruler 09]

 

[The Ruler 09]

This version better still...



But dope song, this original quote just emphasised even more in the posts. It ain't just pain and suffering that is inspiring, it can be joy, happiness, love and shyt too, but it's a part of it no doubt, it's a balance.

 

[The Ruler 09]

[Cormega]
What, I'mma live for my nikkas
I'mma shine for my nikkas

How can I express the sorrow, I learn to dread tomorrow
Had to see my nikka Yammy dead, but he can rest with honor Cuz he was reppin on his quest for dollars
I was the one who took him Uptown, with someone into measure powder
I treasure our memories together, hard to believe I'mma never see you again, but I'mma make you breathin thru pen
So everyone can see you my friend, in fly sneakers again
Life is sweet and kinda deep when it ends Still remember you, beefin over bullshyt calls at basketball games cheatin
Yo, my cipher ain't complete, I'm sorry for that argument we had On twelth street over a sale, knowing well that you was seekin dough aswell
What we made up the same night And thru the years remained tight, the same love
The same drugs rockin the same Nikes Now that you gone, I'm here to reppin your name right, yo

Chorus [Cormega]
Did you ever lose a nikka you love?
Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs?
And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged This song is dedicated to my nikkas above
Did you ever lose a nikka you love?
Then ask yourself is there a heaven for thugs?
And will you be forgiven when your spirit is judged
This song is dedicated to my nikkas above

[Cormega]
And to my cousin Bam You my fukkin man, I find it hard to understand You gone, you physical form is dormant
I'm lost like the Bulls without Jordan
Tell my man J.B. from Edgemere I said peace
Son, I live a thug life, I clutch mics
With the same intensity that I used to crush white
G-Fresh was at your funeral, son I felt it
And if I start cryin when I rhyme I can't help it Analyze, never think I forgot you, you my heart
And even death can't keep the two of us apart
From day one, watchin cartoons and shootin playguns Who ever thought we see this day come
Tell my moms I miss her, give her a kiss and tell her
That her younger child done her proud
I know she heard about me runnin wild
Ya'll gone now, but livin in my memory
Fallen soldiers, sleepin in serenity

Chorus

[Cormega]
Killa Black, whattup my nikka?
I know you chillin with my nikka Ill Will
Inside a ghetto heaven building
With a Mac-11, stealin your jeans, screamin Infamous Queens Forty-First Side kid, you know me
I know the O-Z's are whiter there, p*ssy much tighter there
Pac and Eazy-E coming through on low riders there
The same old thing, except there ain't no pain
Your brother Havoc doing his thing, yo ferreal
It's all good in the hood, the Escalade with the wood-grain
Son was never misunderstood, dearly departed
Hear me acknowledge all my people who passed
Whether holdin heat, or in it for cash
Some of ya'll led sinister paths, some are pure like Dominican raw, knockin on heaven's door
The only thing my nikkas ran from alive is law
I reminisce your memories for you this Hennessy we pour

Chorus with Variation to last line

[The Ruler 09]

Mega is a raw artist, he saw his mum get murdered when he was just a kid, that shyt is crazy, must have a huge impact upon a child.

Tragedy is another artist who embodies his name.

[Intro: DJ Khaled]
Keep your circle tight
Trust no one, nobody (nobody, nobody, no no no)
DJ Khaled!

[Verse 1: Scarface]
Gotta be careful who you trusting
Be aware of your surrounding when you hustling
Them nikkas smiling at you ain't your friends, dawg
All the real ones are dead or in the pen y'all
You fukk with dude, he your day one
Almost had it all then the day comes
When they walking through your house with the strap out
Pointing at your head, got the bread then you black out (yeah)
Bright lights down the hallways
Left his best friend for dead for the small wage (ay)
They say that every dog's got a day coming
It's like he seen a ghost but he ain't say nothing
Eyes wide shut like you looking at me
Window pane to the soul say they nikkas happy
But the pictures say them words we ain't trying to stomach The homie didn't keep it one hundred
The cops doing roundups, say they got a suspect Finally got a name now, I'm stunned thinkin fukk that (fukk, that)
For money, nikkas murder what they close to (get this nikka) Entire families these motherfukkers ghost you
Smoke you, was it worth what the life was? Just prepared for the payback because it strikes cuz
Was it worth what that life was? Prepare for the payback when it strikes cuz

[Bridge: John Legend]
Cuz when you need it the most ain't no one ever around
Cold world, cold world

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Yo, the pain's unbearable, remains unawareable He fukk around jump off a building if you dare him to
The greats they done already killed him, who you compare him to
To really figure out what he said will take a year or two
Family over everything, skills over politics
He don't need the accolades as long as you acknowledge it
Just playing the hand you was dealt, no aces
Betrayal is worse than death in most cases
The world is filled with hypocrites, that's so racist
Multiple shots to the face, No chasers
Mad cause you blew up quick and you excited
Your man that you grew up with get you indicted This was your nikka, yo, for him you let the trigger go Found out at the trial they got audio and video
shyt don't always happen how you plan it
Get jammed up and really find out who your fam is
You could feel the picture, you don't need to see the canvas
That nikka Jay'll Hawk you, he don't even play for Kansas
You know when it's someone you love the hurt's pure You front tryna hold it in, it hurts more
He was right there back-to-back with me, my first war Even had a crack spot together, the first floor
Used to buzz em in then meet him right by the first door
That was 'prolly a year before I went on my first tour
Friendship was worth more than a couple of ounces
You was 'sposed to be with me arguing with the bouncers Instead you ended up somewhere far in the mountains
Talking 'about what we was doing, what we was counting
Nothing but old pictures of old sixes Old BM's with the kits, old Schnitzer's
Two sides, both wishes
Karma is the sister of life, they both bytches

[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton]
See there's a story in my life
There's a story in my pain
There's a story in my tears, ohh-ohh ohhh
There's a story in me

 

[Nomad1]

Trust is one of Nas' best tracks ever. Life is good is a great album.

 

[The Ruler 09]

This is about K-Rino's long time friend that die AC Chill, was in the crew/group....

Some of this shyt really stands out to me, he went very specific, you can TELL it's real shyt, just truthful heartfelt shyt....



(*talking*)
Yeah, what's up homie I see ya
This for you boy, love you mayn
You already know that, check it
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-da-da
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-da-da, la-la-la, la-la

[K-Rino]
A.C. god rest his soul, lost him at 36 years old
I miss my boy and how we use to roll, life is good but sometimes it's cold
Same old story written in stone, we never honor people until they gone
The night you called it never crossed my mind, that I was hearing your voice for the very last time
Man since then I been wishing, to see you roll up in that Expedition
Saying some'ing funny breaking me up, or knocking on my window waking me up
I use to get mad when you did that then, now I'd pay to have you do it again
People you just met you let em in close, I felt like I knew you better than most
So when I see and hear things each day, I picture you there and I know what you say
Yeah A.C. would of laughed at that, I hope you know that I had your back
The times we argued and almost scrapped, killing emcees way back in the gap
We was partnas though music put us on the map, we're ninety percent friends and ten percent rap
When one was hungry the other one fed, when I struggled you gave me a job and break bread
Back in the days we would mob to the club, you introduced me to the woman I love
Man I wanna grab them throwback years, when I talk about ya I gotta hold back tears
I got your family that's my obligation, if they need me I'm right there no hesitation

[Hook: Super Crunk]
You never know, when life will end
It's always hard, to lose a friend
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
I know one day, we'll meet again

[K-Rino]
I know you did what you had to do, but it's like myself inside is mad at you
We still got a whole lot of songs to rip, a whole lot mo' microphones to grip
I hear you on records spitting your name, or talking trash playing a video game
Always thinking of ways to get ahead, then I picture you laying in that hospital bed
I try to talk to you and bring you back, hoping some'ing I say would make you react
Daily I pray to the Lord that way, December the 14th it rained hard that day
You left the world and it was probably extreme, I know I'm tripping it's gotta be a dream
I'mma wake up walk out hop in your ride, and say man I had a crazy dream that you died
Then you'd laugh and hit the streets, hoop at the park grab some'ing to eat
Chill and talk about rhyming skill, but this ain't no dream this time it's real
I hate to stress but some nights I do, when your mama called it was like I knew
A close friend is hard to lose, I had to call everybody up and break the news
During the funeral my mind was sound, but I broke down hard at the burial ground
When reality hit tears ran like water, I thought of your son and felt for your daughter
Some days it's hard to fight, but death really is a part of life
If we keep his name alive he'll live through us, he was never ours God loaned to us

[Hook]

[K-Rino]
When it was time to leave you was always slow, when boys were rapping you would always flow
Shoot pool and leave with all they do', and I'mma make sho' people always know
We ain't gon quit putting it down in the game, A.C. wouldn't want us to stop doing our thang
His job is done his time is given, the day of the gone we need to mourn for the living
Sometimes I restrain myself, trying to imagine the pain you felt
Death was some'ing I never assumed, that night we took you to the emergency room
Your daughter's mother passed away and she gone, your son's mother gotta raise him alone
But your legacy is engraved in this song, I still got your house number saved in my phone
Guess what the division does, I never even knew what your religion was
I guess it don't matter, cause anytime you could help giving love is what your decision was
I'm at home watching basketball, a couple of times man I almost called
We gave females a lot of tension, pulled a few stunts that I ain't gon mention
Now you gone away, down a road that we all gon walk one day
You live on cause you had two kids, and now that you gone homie I'm glad you did
The crew dealing with it in they own way, but right now I can only speak for K
This song I hate I had to write, but you wrote the words just by living your life yeah

[Hook - 2x]

 

[The Ruler 09]

This is a classic too, and you can hear the heartfelt words in this too..



What up twin

Im just sittin back man thinking about all the good times we had
Theres a lot of things been going on since you been gone
I just thought it was time for me to sit down and write you a letter
You know what I am sayin, a letter from the heart

Yo, yo
Before I take a shot, I always make a toast to the sky Blow somesmoke in the air so we both can get high
At night I hold my rosarys tight and hope to get by
Close my eyes and ask the lord why he chose you to die
Though, I believe in God, I chose my own road cause of pride
I dont abide to no bible cause most of them lie
Lifes like a roller coaster ride, just try to hold on and drive
Its all about surviving, one day we all gonna die
I tried to hide all these feelings I was holding inside
Cause they always told me thugs ain't suppose to cry
And show their emotional side
But, it soaked up my eyes
Cause I never had nobody really close to me die
Couldn't understand it at first, so how do this work
You were just here full of cheer, now I'm following your hearse
Its outta this earth, I felt like I was damn with a curse
Had to light candle in church to handle the hurt
In retrospect, I always respect the man that you were A man of your word that always put his family first With talent superb all you wanted was to be heard And You got your chance all of your fans are proud of your work
You made it outta of the dirt and got on top of the world
But you still stood in the hood with your son and two little girls
You in iced out chains, your wife was rockin the pearls
You lived a ghetto fabulous life, the Bronx was your borough
And when the fame came you never changed. You kept it so thorough
We did the same thing, poppin champagne to we earled
You shocked the world, twin, every time you rapped on a track You had cats like How this fat dude could flow like that? Is he black? Is he packin the mack in the back of the acc?
The only Spanish rapper to snatch up a platinum plaque
Thats a fact. Its been written in stones, from here to Rome
When it comes to spittin them poems. You sit on the throne
I wish you was home. Life is so different alone
Spoke to Liza and the kids, little Chris is so grown He's your own spitting image. It's just like you were cloned
You know I treasure Manda and Sesha, like they were my own
Lizas still tryin to get it together She had your back through the stormy weather For that, I will never forget her
Times are tougher then leather
As for me, things could be better
I needed to clear my head up
Thats why I had to write you this letter
Since you been gone, Joe's been stronger then ever, still with Lorena
How can he go to bed knowing hes stealin your cheddar?
About a mil or better. To me hes as real as pleather
We built this together. Still, in all he had me set up
I should of known better I let it ride for too long Let it slide for too long Let it hide for too long
Now I am tryin to move on
Without tryin to do wrong
But my pride is too strong
Im a ride through the storm
With a hundred troops strong
No bullet-proofs on
Glocks cocked and locked and ready to shoot form
Im just tryin to put you on twin, to whats going on
A lot of back stabbin since you been gone
A lot of whack rappin comin from the so-called Don
A lot of black ballin happenin. No matter twin, I'm still going strong
Tonys still singin songs, tryin to swing it along
Hes no longer foundation, sayin Joe put him on Hes dead wrong
Armeggedion still ain't on
Prospect- back in the projects, livin with moms
Words born
Remys the realist, she know what the deal is
Feelin like there is still a chance wishin you could come and heal us
But the thrill is gone, I'm no longer part of that
Im back where I started at
Thats where my heart is at
Cause God knows how hard I scrap
To try to keep it from this
I been a team player, he chose to play at his own risk
Sunkiss still comes around, we still get down
We puff a pound whenever Chuck and C come into town
Toom is illin, hes down in Orlando makin a killin
Buildin his own army with soldiers, ready and willin
Me and Seis still be chillin
Hes fine as well
Still rhymin, still grindin, only time will tell
Gillys stressed out, tryin to figure out his next route
Feelin left out No more T.S, he checked out Xed out his tattoos , but he still got you
B is still with me. Full A Clips our old school crew
He stayed true, always been the coolest nikka we knew
Boobys up in the videos with you know who
You was the glue to the puzzle, the key to the struggle The reason I even chose to be in this hustle
Twin, I love you
No matter what or who tries to judge you
Theres nothing worst than family and friends tryin to fukk you
I stuck through it all, and this is what it all lead up to
Its the closest ones to you that will stick it in and cut you
So much for being humble. I'm comin through with the shovels
Tombstones and all, and turn the hard rocks to rubble On the double, so you can be at peace with your troubles
Cause even after death, you stress from all these scuffles
Guzzle the liquor, snuffing walls till theres blood on my knuckles
Watchin the devil chuckle, hopin I break down and buckle
In this jungle, its all about survival of the fittest
Though you died, you never rid us
Twin your still alive in spirit. I can feel it
I know your up in heaven right now
Hangin out in thugs mansion. You and Pac, whilin out
Livin the kings lifestyle, with platinum wings iced out
Bet you and Biggie in the Angels lounge, poppin Crystal
Getting high with Freaky Tah, lightin up white owls
Thuggin it out with Big L, rollin dice on the clouds
Aaliyah, smilin down. Left Eye is still type wild
Buggin out, partyin, every bodys up in the house
You kickin freestyles while Master J hypes up the crowd
Ain't no fights breakin out, its all love right now
Im just writing down how I feel hopin you hear me
Puttin my heart and soul in it, so you can see it all clearly
I hold you dearly in my thoughts cause like you theres no other
Sincerely Yours, Cuban Link, your twin your brother
Baby I love you!

[Outro]
I still got your back twin
Your brothers here
You even got your own day up in the Bronx
We on top of the world
Yeah I'm a ride with you baby
Ill always ride with you til the day I die
Thats my word

 

[frush11]

Good lyrics, but his flow left him a long time ago. Dude struggling to stay on beat
