send him our love
Singer: joe budden
listen
if you listen to this it's evidence you tryin to figure out if i'm dude
or maybe somebody told you i'm that dude
or maybe you one of the few that disagree with me
and got your own views about who's really that dude
well
the south movement got ten months left
and come valentine's day the game will merge to the west
and i feel it's absurd that the east is the sellin the less
screamin 'new york. new york'
the pioneers supposed to be the best
you blame it on the vets for our current state of the game
they won't retire
so the generation just remain the same
a bunch of oppurtunists that was givin oppurtunity
to make a difference in music but gave no oppurtunity
nothin new or fresh
it's just the same ass sound
same old producers
with the same ass sound
up and comin artists got identity crisis
cause whenever you you
the labels turn you away
but when you me you think of a way
to cast the criticism aside get on a track
say what the fuck you wanna say
the radio's goin to play
whatever the listeners say they should
and not what the listeners say they should
indeeed they should
indeed i should
smack a few niggaz like suge!
but then there they'll blackball me
and that's a long story
no crossover so i wrote the
but if the album sell out
i'd be considered a sellout
the fans keep askin 'when's the album goin to come out?'
ask your local execs
i'm out
]
we call this one send him our love
rest in peace to stack bundles
i still recall
a sad cafe
how it hurt so bad to see her cry
i didn't want to say goodbye
uh
i know you up there doin it big
look
what up ray? was speechless
i ain't know what to say
got the call like at 8 am
with nate sayin
you had passed away
i'm like why niggaz stay playin?
your myspace page playin
it started my day achin
it hit me like a tumor
felt like it was too soon to
thought it was a rumor
until it wasn't a rumor
can't believe that it's over
but if god called you
i ain't even mad at him
he must of needed a soldier
i was like your mentor
you was like my friend
nah
when i seen you
i would treat you like my kin and more
we used to scream 'fuck these niggaz!' like tim dog
you was the only rap nigga
i would fend for
was fiendin for beats
stuck between your dream and the streets
you just wanted to be seen as elite
cause you loved far rock like i love jersey
so i feel ya
but love somethin too much
guarantee it'll kill ya
for real a
send him my love
memories remain
send him my love
roses never fade

i remember we was in the studio doin
doin
it was me

you told me to keep my verses sixteen
i said 'you know i can't do that!'
i went ahead and gave 'em mad bars
you was mad as fuck
you went and tried to stretch your shit out
i wasn't havin it though nigga

remember we would diss each other on tracks
laugh about it when we met up
i'm lookin in your casket
prayin a nigga get up
for a minute
i couldn't help but think that you was set up
no matter who you are
you got to answer when the lord callin
i told you go and fuck with jimmy
that's before )
go get your cash right
hard to slow down livin the fast life
i just heard you on flex show last night
like was it old beef or was you gettin stuck up?
a line outside your funeral
ran was really fucked up
and i was too but the difference is
i was more in awe at the ignorant value of life that livin gets
pulled the burner on you
but you fought that dude
i read the paper
it said the pigs caught that dude
it's sad another black man
taken by a black hand
wish your last night in the club
we could have saved your last dance
god damn!
i remember like
i remember we was in cancun
that was my first time out there in cancun
me and you was rollin together
you talkin about 'where the bitches
where the bitches
where the bitches at?'
like nigga i don't know
you supposed to be the gorgeous gangster"
