Just a Moment - Nas/Quan

Composed by：Nasir Jones/Leshan Lewis/Clifford Peacock/Bernard Edwards/Nile Rodgers
Can we please have a moment of silence
Silence silence
That's for my n***as doin' years in
Confinement
And for my soldiers who passed over
No longer living
That couldn't run whenever the reaper
Came to get 'em
Can we please pour out some liquor
Some liquor some liquor
Symobolizin' let's take in time
To consider that
Though our thugs ain't here
The love is here
And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here
This for my dawgs stuck
In the struggle tryin' to gain
Smokin' trauma sniffin'
Ra while sellin' c*****e
Trapped in the game not knowin'
How to stop and get by
To live it alive so instead they
Live it to die
Can we please have a moment of peace
Moment of peace moment
For every G that fell for his
Flag in the streets
Bloodin' and thuggin'
Folkin' and lokin'
Crypin' and creepin'
Latin and kingin'
Or just for poor righteous teachin'
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home
Y'all were home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home
Y'all were home
Yeah and can we have another
Moment of silence silence silence
For brothers who died from black-on-black
Violence
From here to the Dark Continent
Were rebels sell diamonds
To clients allover the world
Got little Black girls dyin'
And can we please pour some more liquors
More liquors more liquors
For Will Bokeem Bar Pappy my n***as
Here's another Warrior
Song from Nasty and Quan
It's to him I pass the baton
To carry this on
Street's Disciple salute
To those who's gone with bullets
And I promise through rhymin'
Quan gon' rep his life to the fullest
And can we please have a moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
For soldiers and troops away
With helmets and boots
And families back home who pray
They make it home safe
Hopin' that they don't get hit
With a stray or missiles
This is just a moment
To let you all know that we miss you
Mommy I'm still here wishin'
I was there with you
Let's take 'em home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our lifes we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home
Y'all were home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our lifes we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home
Y'all were home
And can we please have a moment to mourn
Moment to mourn
For Pac Biggie and Pun
'Cause through us they live on
Jam Master Jay Freaky Ty and Aliyah
Big L and Left Eye when we
Die we wish to see ya
Can we please have a moment for children
Moment for children
Who got raped or murdered
Or trapped in the system
Who never knew their father
Never learned to dream
But was guided by **** dealers
Killers and crack fiends
For single mothers that's forced
To play mom and dad
Bustin' her a*s to give her
Kids **** she never had
For my n***as in the pen hopin'
Rhymes'll get 'em signed
So when released they can say
Bye to a life of crime
For every mother that held a
Son in the street bleedin'
Cryin' a song of sorrow to dark
And deep for speakin'
Just a moment outside the day
To day struggle
To let the ones we really care
About know that we love 'em
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home
Y'all were home
As days comes and nights falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on
We'll still mourn
While wishin' y'all were home
Y'all were home
