Why I never got to say good-bye to my homie
Now I go to sleep feeling that god owe me
People that never do no wrong get the short end of the deal
Why couldn't've Reggie known he would of ate his last meal
I wonder if people really understand the way that I feel
Sitting at home wondering if i'll ever heal
I know other peoples problems are bigger than mine
But I will deal with the hardships over the time
But until then I'ma hold my head up real high
Cause I know there are people watching over me as i look into the sky
But you need to know that for ever tear that's came from my eye
There's been a smile behind it to come right by
When my time on earth comes to an end
That I'll be remembered from family to friend
That no matter what I was there to transcend
So for fallen family, friends and peers
Let them teach us to discard our fears
And live our life to the point of tears
Because your future may be less than years
So listen closely with both ears
And know that when a chance appears
Whether it's through hate or love
You'll overcome and climb above
To see tomorrow bright and shining
And learn that every moment is defining
But then again, but then again
You need to know, that every now and then
There will be some bumps in this rocky road
And then comes times where you'll be slowed
But it's not who you are that defines what you do
So if you say that then think this through
That it's what you do that defines who you are, and that's true
