Somebody Knows Lyrics - Faith Evans

And the question remains, 

Why was he gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles 

And who was responsible? 

I'm feelin' some type of way 

Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya) 

Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain 

I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya) 

Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown 

They took your life in vain but your memories still remain 

It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya 

And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya 

Somebody knows

We were havin' a good time up in the party 

Even though we wasn't really speakin' at the time 

And we never got to have a conversation 

That still weighs heavy on my mind 

Busy ignorin' each other 

We didn't know if we be over 

In just a matter of time (neighbors call the cops, said they heard mad shots) 

I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind 

And I still don't have the answers even after all this time 

I'm feelin' some type of way 

Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya) 

Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain 

I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya) 

Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown 

They took your life in vain but your memories still remain 

It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya 

And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya 

Somebody knows 

Can't believe it's been this long 

Twenty years have come and gone 

There is so much we need to know (Old school, new school need to learn though) 

And until I get some kind of resolution 

I cannot choose to let go (yeah) 

No help from the police 

Only hang on to the memories 

Whoever did it better stay low-key 

'Cause it's hard to creep them Brooklyn streets 

I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind (damn near lost my mind) 

And I still don't have the answers even after all this time 

I'm feelin' some type of way 

Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya) 

Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain 

I gotta make it on my own, like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya) 

Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown 

They took your life in vain but your memories still remain 

It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya 

And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya 

Somebody knows 

I don't even know where to start and it's very hard to address it 

A conversation still that most niggas don't want to mess with 

Continue his blessings I send to you and Mama Wallace 

To this day I carry a picture of BIG in my wallet 

While I give you these bars, I try not to lose my composure 

It has been twenty years and yes you still lookin' for closure 

Still can't try over bein' a baby, not havin' my father 

My heart continues to go after CJ and T'yanna 

Tryna avoid truckin' 'bout it, not to revisit the drama 

Let me remind the shooter that the most gangster nigga is karma 

Big Poppa, yes, we will rep your legacy proper 

And now downtown to provide the answers in your honor 

Frank and Pac, I hope y'all had the chance to talk in heaven fellas 

About the truth that really led to why y'all both ain't here to tell us 

Y'all probably up there talkin' about who really fuckin' did it 

Maybe you a sinners should sign with some honest answers in it 

I walk to Tillery park where we use to smoke with Flex and 

Even after all this time, we could never fully accept it 

From Western house Brooklyn to bein' one of the great 

To the last time we linked up, I shed a tear at your wake 

The Notorious B.I.G. was silenced forever, and Los Angeles are searching for his killer
