Duets: The Final Chapter
(feat. P. Diddy, Eminem, Obie Trice)
[00:02.20]Ih.. ih, ih (it has been)
[00:03.13]It has been, it has been, it has been
[00:04.56]It has been said, that there has been known to be bloodshed
[00:08.29]Over bread, men who have bled to death, dead {what?}
[00:11.22]Strapped to beds, pipe bombs, dynamite, lead
[00:14.45]Money power respect, street cred, yeah
[00:17.13]It’s scary ain’t it? Picture yourself goin out as a hero {uhh}
[00:20.67]Picture mural pictures of us painted all over street corners
[00:23.41]Fans meet to mourn us, while we meet the coroners
[00:26.52]Notorious tried to warn us
[00:28.26]We’ve ride so many piggybacks off of {ha ha ha}
[00:30.81]Biggie’s back and ‘Pac’s, landmarks, history in rap
[00:33.98]Statistically in fact; it’s so sad to see us re-enact
[00:37.53]these tragic events, which lead us back
[00:39.71]To where we left off on March 9th
[00:42.01]To come from such hard knock lifes
[00:43.75]And make it up out of ’em, hit the spotlights
[00:45.74]And, once they’re on us this is our lives
[00:47.73]Thrust out for all eyes to cast upon us
[00:50.16]to see who can last the longest
[00:51.55]And he who lasts the longest, must be the strongest {uh-huh}
[00:54.08]In this concrete jungle, where this dog eat dog mentality comes from
[00:58.06]It’s origin, which is usually originated from cats who starvin
[01:01.73]Or it could just be somebody’s horror, that just horri-fies
[01:05.59]And applies to his persona or the sizes
[01:07.54]in his entou-rage, that intimidates the people
[01:10.25]To the point that you know that he’s gangster
[01:12.05]He ain’t just say shit, you just believe it
[01:14.67]Since B.I.B. taught us niggaz to think big
[01:16.85]I’m been about my business since then, so anxious {what?}
[01:19.52]It ain’t how we live, it’s what he said, he did it for Brooklyn
[01:22.45]This I took in, sent chills through my skin
[01:25.62]Vicious, I’m experiencin the same sights as him
[01:28.55]It’s what excited Obie to write these poems
[01:31.41]Rollin, goin through the same shit he spoken
[01:34.21]Open up my eyes so there’s no limit in them skies
[01:37.07]When _Ready to Die_ was a sick part of my life {yeah}
[01:39.87]Palmin that forty-five, plottin to pop my mind
[01:42.79]Then that crooked eye Jamaican I’d so many times rewind
[01:45.47]Got me to walk a straight line and get up on my grind
[01:48.33]Get up out the system, who could give him better signs
[01:51.38]No pop of mine could top Big Poppa rhymes
[01:54.24]So possibly I’d be popular huh? {uh-huh}
[01:56.85]That’s the inspiration I got from my nigga B.I.
[01:59.77]I took him from coal to diamond, I molded his mind
[02:02.26]Enter the most phenomenal artist of any and all time
[02:05.37]I made a Frankenstein, my design impressed
[02:07.98]Backpackers and press who said my house was a mess
[02:10.78]Critics lashed, said I made a fortune off of his passin {what?}
[02:13.86]All I did was build a dynasty, off of his passion
[02:16.76]And I’m addressin the adolesencents absent to who he is
[02:19.49]The original king of New York, Christopher Wallace…
[02:22.17]This is a promise on Diddy’s honor, I’m a father T’Yanna
[02:25.49]And teach her that with all the drama don’t even bother…
[02:27.89]On repeat, all of your albums play back to back {yeah}
[02:31.13]And I visit your grave cause our friendship’s intact
[02:34.11]An immaculate concept, extravagant progress
[02:37.10]Bullet wounds left in my heart, I’m yellin “God bless”
[02:39.84]Regardless to critics yellin that East/West
[02:42.29]I seen the game losin, I’m just pressin the reset {uhh}
[02:45.31]And when the ressurection of you shines through an individual
[02:48.05]Lyrical enough to wear the same crown of thorns literally!
[02:51.34]I’ma pay homage, Brooklyn’s finest
[02:53.58]Whether it’s Queens or Harlem it’ll be instant stardom, nigga!
