Forever Dreamin' - Saigon/Tony Collins
Yo I remember Xtra P told Q-Tip
Don't say the year
But I'ma say the year (ohhhhh)
The year is 2012
And the reason I'ma say the year cause we
Lost somebody very special to me
Very special to hip-hop Chris Lighty
We love you forever man c'mon
Ohh where I'm from it goes down every day
Ohh but still I dream that there's a better way
Lord e'rybody got a problem make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle yeah
Ohh so you can drown all your troubles away
Ohh or you can be what you're destined to be
As long as I'm breathin
I'ma keep on livin for the dream I believe in
Forever dreamin
Uh-huh uh uh uh uh uh
Whether crack wars or rap tours
We walkin them dogs with the
Track jaws
Attack frauds get tossed in the
Morgue when I blast off
Past forward my criminal task force
Last cat and wish him and
My path cross it's bat-tle
Talkin bad off I mean really
Really bad off
Let's just say next time you see
Him you gon' take your hat off
Look America it's Saigon from the Abandoned
I'm probabaly one of Harriet
Tubman's great-great-great-great-grandkids
What the f**k I care about John
Paul or Sir Francis
That's two original men as they
Dances around the answers
If we a micro in the macro of
Crackers the Earth cancers
Is willin to go against nature and
Suffer the circumstances
I got the intel of a ni**a that
Studies stem cells
Sh*t'll get ugly in Hell it's
No way it can end well
Police got a ni**a barred
From my own hood
Sometimes I think I'm too
Smart for my own good
Ohh where I'm from it goes down every day
Ohh but still I dream that there's a better way
Lord e'rybody got a problem make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle yeah
Ohh so you can drown all your troubles away
Ohh or you can be what you're destined to be
As long as I'm breathin
I'ma keep on livin for the dream I believe in
Forever dreamin
Uh it's real
I got a migraine
Head throbbin feelin pain
Present outlook on life
Is that there's nothin else to gain
The old-timers scold the
Gold miners see I suppose
He tellin all he knows
Once the wild Irish rose
Flows form in my brain
Heavy verses purgatory in vain
Three on the rock three
On parole it's insane
While workers is gettin
Greedier and greedier
Caught my partner Black in his back
Now he suffer from paraplegia
Nothin gettin easier cousin
Playin the game of crime
I aim the 9 emphasizin
See my frame of mind
Sniffin coc*ine I got a rhyme
For every grain
Tryin to maintain simply
Tryin to stay in my lane
See money comes money
Goes like a runny nose
But when you blow it goin
To your honeys and foes
I never thought I could be
Happier in bummier clothes
Well looky here yo what do ya know
Ohh where I'm from it goes down every day
Ohh but still I dream that there's a better way
Lord e'rybody got a problem make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle yeah
Ohh so you can drown all your troubles away
Ohh or you can be what you're destined to be
As long as I'm breathin
I'ma keep on livin for the dream I believe in
Forever dreamin
I got a daughter in California I hardly see
Even 3 000 miles away she's a part of me
For her I'll spill every bit of
Blood in my arteries
I'll kill a ni**a whether he thug or he R&B
And to Milan I'm tryin to
Strengthen the bond with your moms
Even when she buggin I keep calm
Even if I needed niggaz to write for me
They couldn't cause they
Wouldn't believe in my life story
Ohh where I'm from it goes down every day
Ohh but still I dream that there's a better way
Lord e'rybody got a problem make a couple dollars
Gotta spend that on a bottle yeah
Ohh so you can drown all your troubles away
Ohh or you can be what you're destined to be
As long as I'm breathin
I'ma keep on livin for the dream I believe in
Forever dreamin
Uh-uh
Beautiful music
I'd like to say somethin real quick
I wanna say rest in peace
To one of my close friends
My former manager Chris Lighty
Did a lot for the sport
A lot for the game I salute you
Y'know God always takes the
Ones he wants close to him
You know We love you forever
Hip-Hop love you forever
