Nate Dogg - Why lyrics

rate me

[Intro/Chorus]

Why did my homie have to die, with the tears in my eyes

I came to say goodbye, say goodbye

[repeat 2X]

Just passin through to let you know that I remember the times we shared

Your mother prayed for us both night and day

I guess this is what she feared

The picture in my room keeps your image sharply in my head

All in my head

I just can't let go of the memories I had; will this madness ever end?

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder if it's better to be free or be in jail

Incarceration at this time to me is better than heaven or hell

I often wonder if you'd still be here if you had worn your vest

Worn your vest

You most likely soon see me we'll all be a memory

if we don't change this mess... change it or we gone y'all

[Chorus]

Hi, passing you through to let you know

Passing you through to let you know

That I, gonna tell everyone I know

Gonna tell everyone I know

How we, used to send them to the floor

Used to send them to the floor

Have we, have we forgot to mourn

Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn

Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn

[Chorus 3X]
