Veteran's Memorial Lyrics - Singles - Prodigy Of Mobb Deep

Memories play back like film 

I flash back we was little niggas livin' most real 

1989's when we first met 

We first clicked over convo' gettin' twisted 

In dunn grand earth crib cuttin' outta school 

Watchin' cable it seemed like the other day 

Through the eyes of a stranger we was kids 

But in our own minds we was grown mens 

Outside on the block we would play the bench 

And y'all play the rock every chance y'all got 

As I sat back and just watched hey, what can I say? 

The same back then as I am today 

I can recall me, Jemel and Jamal 

In the room drinkin' straight vodka with they moms 

When I walk home with the big nefertiti charm 

Back with the light blue camoflauge suit 

God me and Hav' doin' it hard, tryin' to get on 

We sampled songs on the box with record and pause 

Killer B didn't even get his first firearm 

And I was still holdin' one shot derringers 

Who would think anyone of us would cease to exist 

Left with just thoughts of the past to reminisce 

Sometimes I see a chick walkin' past with ya kids 

Or find an old flicka of some 1-2-5th 

All the shit that we been through it boils to this? 

Dun, I wish we could start it all over again 

Ninety-five, we on top tourin' the states 

A lotta times we even took the click overseas 

Came along way from the hallway 

Sitting in the staircase with Bacardi 

Bring the honeycomb speaker outside to bang 

While we would share drinks with the other that came 

Triple L stayed takin' they cash in dice games 

Killer Black grew to keep an ice grill, dunn was not playin' 

Yammy, the most Infamous told me one day 

"Put the bogies down 'fore I pound you out P" 

But it was all love, we was eash others dunns 

We held each other down, borrowed each other guns 

It's hard to believe that niggas so strong 

Could die so easily forever be gone 

I could still feel the web of your palm, against mine 

'Cause we did our hand shake all the time 

Why it have to be your time to go and not mines? 

Spilled tears contemplating to my delf cryin' 

All the laughs we shared and fights we had 

All the nights we would get nice, damn 

Plates of food we split in half 

I dedicate the rest of my life to all my niggas that passed 

Who would think anyone of us would cease to exist 

Left with just thoughts of the past to reminisce 

Sometimes I see a chick walkin' past with ya kids 

Or find an old flicka of some 1-2-5th 

All the shit that we been through it boils to this? 

Dun, I wish we could start it all over again 

What the fuckin' deal, motherfuckin' Scarface nigga, killer 

For Bean, Fugi, Gooey, I can't take no more nigga, Corey 

Black Ed, the fuck, knahmsayin'? I'll will burnin' 

Harry, fuck yo, I can't take no more man 

Frankie, Spank, whattup man? Straight up 

My grandmoms man, my granddad man 

Grandma Brooks, straight up my pops man 

Straight up man, that's it 

All my dead, all my dead 

Man, the little babies man, no more man 

Abortion babies man, I can't take no more man 

I'll never forget you, all my dead it's all love man 

Motherfuckin' Yambo, in a minute, we'll be there 

Motherfuckin' Yammy, straight up, I can't wait 

You was my strength nigga, I miss y'all 

I can't believe you gone nigga 

What the fuck happened? 

Ain't nobody else goin' away man 

You ain't takin' nuttin' else from me man 

Nobody can't take nuttin' else from me man, that's it 

I dare you! Come try, it's over man 

You can't take nuttin' else from us yo 

That's my word, I put my life on it 

I'll be next nigga, straight up 

I stand up for that 

'Cause ain't none of my niggaz goin', that's enough 

We had enough 

It's the Veteran's Memorial right here man 

Straight up, man 

We love y'all, one love
