How Long Will They Mourn Me?
Yeah! This for my n*gga Kato
It's still on n*gga
Thug Life, Thugs for life

Yeah n*gga
2Pac in this muthaf*cka

[Tupac]

All my homies drinking liquor
Tears in everybody's eyes
N*ggas cried to mourn a homies homicide
But I can't cry
instead I'm just a shoulder
Damn, why they take another soldier
I load my clip before my eyes blurry, don't worry
I'll get them s*ckas back before your buried (sh*t)
Retaliate and pull a 187
do real n*ggas get to go to heaven ?
How long will they mourn me, bury me a muthaf*ckin 'G'
B*tch don't wanna die
then don't f*ck with me
It's kinda hard to be optimistic
When your homies lying dead on the pavement twisted
Y'all don't hear me doe, I'm trying hard to make amends
But I'm losing all my muthaf*ckin friends (damn)
They should've shot me when I was born
Now I'm trapped in the muthaf*ckin' storm
How long will they mourn me ?

[Chorus]

I wish it would have been another
How long will they mourn me
How long will they mourn my brother
(Got them n*ggas all dead and sh*t)
How long will they mourn me
I wish it would have been another
(Nate Dogg)
How long will they mourn me
How long will they mourn my brother
(Gotta keep this sh*t goin' on, Yo Syke)

[Syke]

How long will they mourn me
Every muthaf*ckin' day homie
You stayed down when tha other n*ggas didn't know me
From my heart to the trigga you my f*ckin' n*gga
And things won't be the same without ya n*gga
I remember kickin' back, you wanted to lack
And goin' half on a muthaf*ckin' hundred sack
Smokin' blunt after blunt and steady drinkin'
Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin'
Tell me Lord, why you take big Kato ?
So confused not knowing which way to go
I'm goin crazy and runnin' out of f*ckin' time
I can't take it, I'm losin' my f*ckin' mind
So day after day
ride after ride
We'll hook up on the other side
Watch over your family and your newborn
Till we meet again homie
How long will they mourn me ?

[Chorus]

I wish it would have been another
(Yo Kato)
How long will they mourn me
(It's still on n*gga)
How long will they mourn my brother
How long will they mourn me
I wish it would have been another
(Yeah)
How long will they mourn me
How long will they mourn my brother

[Rated R]

Damn a n*gga tired of feeling sad
I'm tired of putting in work
I'm tired of cryin while watching my homies leave the earth
I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt
And my peoples'll be mournin'
When they get a call from the coroner
All n*ggas can say is that's f*cked up
And get tossed up
Reminiscing how we grew up (my n*gga)
Rest and love to my n*gga Kato
See you in the crossroads real soon
For now let me pour out some brew
I'll be always thinkin' of ya homie
Rest in peace
How long will they mourn me ?

Ya know life's a f*ckin' trip
And everybody gotta go
But why the f*ck it have to be my n*gga Kato
Another n*gga fell victim to the chrome
It's enough to make you crazy
It's f*ckin' with my dome
Ya only live once on this earth
A n*gga had it bad, since the day of my mutahf*ckin' birth
But n*ggas say they down and they always be my homie
But when a n*gga gone
How long will ya mourn me ?

[Chorus]

Yeah!
I wish it would have been another
(Mack 10 in this muthaf*cka)
Yeah, how long will ya mourn me
How long will ya mourn my bother
(Thug Life boy, Nate blowin' that sh*t,
Nate Dogg do that sh*t n*gga)
I wish it would have been another
Yeah! How long will ya mourn me
How long will ya mourn my brother
(This for my n*gga Kato and all his kids)
How long will ya mourn me
I wish it would have been another
How long will ya mourn my brother
