So Long Songtext / Lyric

[talking: MC Hammer]

Our Father, which art in heaven

Hallowed be thy Name

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

On earth, as it is in heaven

Give us this day, our daily bread

And forgive us our debt

As we forgive our debtors

Lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory

In Jesus' name

Amen



[Chorus: x2]

So long, so long so long

I hope to see you again






[Verse 1: Busstop]

I never got a chance to say goodbye

I could've made it to the funeral, I won't lie

But I didn't want to see my homie laying that way

Now I regret not paying respects to this day

Cause it's hard to accept I'll never see u again

Not only true homies, we were best of friends

I hope u understand my pain and grief

Cause I can feel u up there looking down on me

Now I need to get somewhere so I can think

I'm going to the graveyard to pour my homies a drink

I sip the liquor, snip a rose and lay it on the grass

And never in my life have I felt so bad

It's Saturday night, I'm at the gravesite

Sitting by the tomb stone holding a flash light

The scene is cold I got sweated in my palm

I'm hurting so inside I feel so I drop the bomb

Lil' Jay could of been more than nineteen

Now it seems every night he's in my dreams

O.F.T.B. means operating from the bottom with a tribute to the homies that's gone



[Chorus x2]



[Verse 2: FlipSide]

A lot of my homies died from gang affiliations

While others die from, imitation

But I ain't tripping, I learn from my losses

From gang banging u got's to pay the causes

You only live once, so live it to the fullest

A lot of my homies, they died by the bullet

Tony [? ] not a convict

Just a gangster who grew up in the projects

A big daddy, is what he drove

Back then, to me it was a Roll's

Top Gold, he wore it on his clothes

He had a gangster live on pose

Just keeping it real so don't set trip

Much love from the Low, the Bus, the Flip (O.F.T.B.)

If you ever in Watts take a look at the wall

Dedicated for love dogg for all of y'all



[Chorus x2]



[Verse 3: Low MB]

I remember everyday, I use to play

With my niggas Ros Bowlow and Lil' Jay

But now they gone and I forgot

And homies is crazy real, and still plotting

I know one day I'm going to have to meet my end

But that's the day I hope we all gon' meet again

And give each other big love at the crossroads

It's hell on earth so I'm hoping Heavens your World

I'm still chilling, with Flip and Bustop

I hope y'all chilling, with T.C. scoop with Chop

And all he other, homies that a nigga miss

For every candle, I blow out you know I wish

That we was all getting high, parle and trip

And have some laughs about the good times we use to have

Back in the days when we was all doing real bad

And right now a nigga trying to get his money right

But y'all know me yo, it's still tight

I never thought, we'd have to say goodbye

This kind of shit bring tears to a gangsters eyes

But the Low, you know I'm going to be strong

I won't say goodbye, I'm saying so long



[Chorus x2]



[Verse 4: MC Hammer]

I know we done all lost a friend before

A victim to the game in these street wars

But we gotta remember, we all gotta die

No matter what you do you can't escape your fate

David [? ] was a warrior, a soldier

You had to pay attention to the game that he told you

A dark night when he lost his life

Full of than drink he couldn't put up a fight

So he slipped on over to the darkness

My homie, my Uncle, my dearly departed

I shed tears cause I wish he was here

(He never see his Nephew get to make it up here)

25 when he took his last breathe

He barley had lived, and he had to come and see death

I can't explain all the pain that I feel

[? ] yeah that's real



[Chorus]



So long, so long so long

I hope to see you again

So long, so long so long

I hope to see you again

So long, so long so long

I hope to see you again

I hope to see my homies one day soon



To my Grandfather Willie James, my Auntie Rest In Peace

To all my Nephews

(To my big homie Big Jay y'all rest in peace)
