Prodigy of Mobb Deep - Veteran's Memorial lyrics

rate me

[Prodigy]

Memories play back like film

I flash back we was little niggas livin most real

1989's when we first met

We first clicked over convo' gettin twisted

In dunn grand earth crib cuttin outta school

Watchin cable it seemed like the other day

Through the eyes of a stranger we was kids

But in our own minds we was grown mens

Outside on the block we would play the bench

And y'all play the rock every chance y'all got

As I sat back and just watched hey, what can I say?

The same back then as I am today

I can recall me, Jemel and Jamal

In the room drinkin straight vodka with they moms

When I walk home with the big nefertiti charm

Back with the light blue camoflauge suit

God me and Hav' doin it hard, tryin to get on

We sampled songs on the box with record and pause

Killer B didnt even get his first firearm

And I was still holdin one shot derringers

[Hook: Prodigy]

Who would think anyone of us would cease to exist

Left with just thoughts of the past to reminisce

Sometimes I see a chick walkin past with ya kids

Or find an old flicka of some 1-2-5th

All the shit that we been through it boils to this?

Dun, I wish we could start it all over again

[Prodigy]

Ninety-five, we on top tourin the states

A lotta times we even took the click overseas

Came along way from the hallway

Sitting in the staircase with Bacardi

Bring the honeycomb speaker outside to bang

While we would share drinks with the other that came

Triple L stayed takin they cash in dice games

Killer Black grew to keep an ice grill, dunn was not playin

Yammy, the most Infamous told me one day

"Put the bogies down 'fore I pound you out P"

But it was all love, we was eash others dunns

We held each other down, borrowed each other guns

Its hard to believe that niggas so strong

could die so easily forever be gone

I could still feel the web of your palm, against mine

cause we did our hand shake all the time

Why it have to be your time to go and not mines?

Spilled tears contemplating to my delf cryin

All the laughs we shared and fights we had

All the nights we would get nice, damn

Plates of food we split in half

I dedicate the rest of my life to all my niggas that passed

[Hook]

[Prodigy]
