Thug Memorials

作曲 : Taurus Bartlett/Lurtz Oliver/Austin Schindler/Robert Kelly

[Intro]

I wish, I wish, I wish

Duh-duh, na

I wish, I wish, I wish

Uh, uh, uh

Uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Uh-uh

[Verse 1]

And I was so lost for words, couldn't even cry up at your funeral

I come from that corner where the hustlers trap and shoot at you

Straight As and Scat packs, they ain't slidin' in no Subaru

Turn you to a savage, what them hard times'll do to you

All my homies died young, smokin' till my mind numb

Stepping like a martial, band might hit they block with nine drums

Took a lot of losses where-where me and all my guys hung

Opps talkin' shit, that left my pride stunned, uh

[Chorus]

I wish that I could hold you tight now (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I'm grippin' on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I'm connected to your soul tonight, hopin'— (I wish, I wish, I wish)

Everything my way (I wish, I wish, I wish)

Uh

[Verse 2]

Tim-Tim was my brother, we was suitin' up for graduation

I saw twin'em in them caskets, told myself "I gotta make it"

Makin' moves and stackin' payments, SRTs and traffic races

Was most happy back in the day, it seem like now I'm tryna fake it

Twenty deep with all my cousins, tweakin' in my granny basement

Hot nights in the Summer time, with no sheet on that mattress bakin'

Now we let them choppers beat, I swear I love that kind of cadence

Money, have no time for waitin', fifty Ms, I'm tryna chase it

'Member when no care at all, runnin' through them projects

Why they ain't show the same love when I ain't beat the odds yet?

Masked up with no gloves, we send his ass where God at

We took over for the block, was fearless on that conquest

All I gotta say is "Go", now watch how all my soldiers ride

Treat him like he Trey, gon' let him out if he don't wanna slide

Shots hit him, but still in shock, that's why he left with open eyes

I'm from the trenches, deep up in that grass where all the cobras hide

[Chorus]

I wish that I could hold you tight now (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I'm grippin' on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I'm connected to your soul tonight, hopin'— (I wish, I wish, I wish)

Everything my way (I wish, I wish, I wish)

[Verse 3]

Wish I could be with you somehow

Can't put my gun down, 'cause I'm the one now

Mama, I'm my brothers keeper, I won't let your son drown

Always fightin' with the reaper, like I keep some gloves 'round, uh

I'm taking drugs until I'm incoherent, low and steady, disappearin'

But, 'fore you know, I'm forever thuggin', I can feel your spirit

Racin' to the finish line, look up, and I can hear 'em cheerin'

For feelings that I lost to gang, the only thing I'm still enduring

[Chorus]

I wish that I could hold you tight now (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I'm grippin' on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)

I'm connected to your soul tonight, hopin'— (I wish, I wish, I wish)

Everything my way (I wish, I wish, I wish)

[Outro]

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish, I wish, I wish
