Have I told you lately that I love you      Well if I didn't darlin' I'm sorry   Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms, when you needed me   Now I realize that you need love, too, and I'll spend my life makin' up to you   Oh, I forgot to be your lover, and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry      First it was Pac and then Big, I know you feelin' me kid   It had me trippin' and I'm thinkin' what kind of joke that it is   And then when Pun died it made me think of his kids   And it bring the tears to my eyes when I see these babies cry   And can't forget the Eazy, and you then know that it's fo-sheezy   Got no time for flossin' when these soldiers out here need me   And them Gravediggas, and while chasin' major figures   But the things we say are seeds that we planted, they gettin' with us      Chorus   Now I realize that you need love to   And I'll spend my life makin' up tp you      Consumed by the things of this world   And never respectin' our girls   We callin' them hos when they diamonds and pearls   And then they miss Aaliyah, so many out here wanna be her   Don't even know when the next time and when they really gonna see her   And we forgot about Him, unless we use Him in vain   And all these evil speekin' lyrics disrespectin' His name   These rappers sayin' nothin', that's why he tryin' to tell us something   While we kickin' rhymes, I see Him steady showin' signs   No more popin' pills, watchin' these young ones livin' ill   You glamorize the wicked, that's the kind of stupid that's gettin' us killed      Chorus      They drivin' Escalades, and Benz' and Lexus' and Jaguars   They rollin' on 22's with DVDs in they cars   Everyday on MTV and so they know who you are   Plus the way you live your life is like a movie star   They popin' Xs in the Lexus' Fine firls with diamond neckless'   Talkin' about how good the sexs is   And Pops gotta cry ''cause we lost our Left-Eye   But behind the tragedy there's a reason why      Chorus
