Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Dm]This one is for my brother,
Tyree, [Am]R.I.P

[Interlude 1]
A message to God
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
Since [Dm]you finishin' 'em early,
what posessed you to start him?
We made a vow later we'll regret
[Am]'til death do us part
Lord, I thought we was made
for each other
You shouldn't connect those,
made to be taken away from each other
Now what [Dm]I'm supposed to do? I'm
only half the man that I was
I'll never last,
'cause my better half is up there with you
You knew [Am]what you was doin' when
you made us; so with all due respect
You coulda forgave him, you
didn't have to take him
[Dm]He can take the game with him, 'cause
he defines the word
The one who puts the G [Am]in it,
who [Dm]you think put me [Am]in it?
I'm feelin like my whole world
is blinded wonderin' why
Cryin', pourin' out my heart,
pourin' out liquor behind it
[Dm]We fought like brothers,
somethin' we never should do
We coulda used time spent
arguin tellin' the truth
He had [Am]talent too,
I had plans on watchin' him grow
Don't know what hurts more - seein' him leave,
or watchin [C]him go

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Listen[Am]
Listen
[Dm]Listen
[Am]Listen

[Interlude 2]
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]If you wonder why (why
I live my life)
[Am]The way that I do ('cause I got
to get this money)
So don't [Dm]worry about me (don't worry,
don't worry worry)
I'm just [Am]hustlin' everyday,
runnin this race, makin this paper

[Verse 5]
You'se [Dm]a soldier,
you're probably packin heat up there
Met up with homies from the street,
and got deep up there
If you [Am]only knew the way I felt before
they ruined the crew
I thought I learned from Eazy,
now I'm goin through it with you
We lost [Dm]a thug, a son, and a father
I spoke to your son, the other day,
and told him Uncle Dre [Am]got him
The Lord must be accidentally
pulling your file
Cause I'm still paging you,
911, straight in denial
[Dm]Prayin' you get it,
but no man can choose the card he was dealt
You either quit, or you gon' play
'em like you get it
[Am]I done been through all emotions,
from in shock, to keepin a poker face
To straight breakin down
and showin' all emotions
[Dm]I'm anxious to believe
in real G's don't cry
If that's the truth,
then I'm realizin I ain't no [Am]gangsta
It's just not me,
but you know I'mma always ride wit you
I miss you, sometimes I wish
I just died wit' you

[Verse 6]
[Dm]Listen
Listen
[Am]Listen[Dm]
Listen

[Verse 7]
[Dm]If y[Am]ou wo[Dm]nder
why (why I live my [Am]life)
The way that I do ('cause I got
to get this money)
So don't [Dm]worry about me (don't worry,
don't worry worry)
I'm just hustlin' everyday, [Am]runnin this race,
makin this paper

[Verse 8]
Yeah, yeah, [Am]ah oh [Dm]listen

Don't [Am]get caught up in the hood

You gotta find out the reason [A]why
[Dm]Brother brother
[Am]
