Above Average Music Group - A Year Lost (Tribute to DaQuan) lyrics

[Pre-Hook:] Can't believe it's been a year, man. Seems like yesterday I got that phone call. I mean, Lil Quan was my brother. But the saying is true man, you don't know what ya got 'til it's gone. Rest in Peace DaQuan Green [Verse 1:Amp] Another one lost, lost to them streets And when you die you're finally free But we can never rest, not in peace Ain't no place the hood can't reach Ain't no n***a the streets can't teach To get out the hood was his only dream To have money, bankrolls breaking the seams Knowing us, I woulda been right there too Shot, murdered and ain't that the truth 904, Westside only f** with blue Only had one n***a, couldn't trust two After my n***a died, I went the wrong way Leaned on some hard sh** to ease the pain Everything but crack, didn't do c**aine Hurt b**hes feelings, really did play How many?, won't even begin to say They k**ed him, so I couldn't feel safe They k**ed my n***a And I had demons I couldn't escape But I could not run from my motherf**in fate But I didn't know how much more I could take [Hook: S@m & Dianie] It's been hard without you It's been a year without you Understand that I miss you That I never, ever forget you [Verse 2:Amp] I should have died, no lie Something just shut off inside And God I was mad at Christ Should've been right there, by his side Molly had me B.o.B. 'Out of my Mind' Still wish he was still f**in alive I'm selfish, know he now flyin Don't have to wonder 'bout nothing I'm live in his memory and keep stuntin Cause we were talkin, I 'member something He said 'If one of us goes Get high after you hit the low's Don't walk no, bust though doors Get to the top and make them o's Make 7 or 8 figures, plus suicide doors Never do the least, always the very most' Didn't think I could trust or love again Trust me, it's kinda hard to pretend Lord forgive me, know I did almost every sin But once again, I'm back with the pen Locked up in the pen, this is not how's it's suppose to end [Hook] [Verse 3:MRivera25] I stole someone's heart now he gotta get it back The new album has been nothing but sh** don't know if I'll release that But above all things my memorie forgets It's sad but I'm Cleanin' Out My Closet like Eminem Maybe he's one them reasons why I started worrying about race And I got called Mr. Heartbreak f** it gotta move on to my own life Never felt so hopeless in my whole life Somethings will never change and when they do They take away all the things that make you, you But I ain't worried bout nothing cause one day I'll be in a better place where there will no pain But until then I'll be holding this diomond of hope and peace Hope it means sh** or I'll get down on my knees But it's the end and I know Lil Amp will be like "Don't say it's over" But it ain't over til it's over, period [Hook:] [Verse 4:Amp] Broke hood's chains, I can live life Made it out of darkness, I see the light Thanks for the two cents, that advice I let it out one night Still cry on some many nights Figure I couldn't win all the fights That I couldn't bring him back Took the f**in pressure off my back No longer at God was I mad Got a 'By his stripes we are healed' tat Stopped being a playa, jersey's off my back Hanged it up with the spikes Know my girl glad of that She's the reason I'm alive, that a fact She was that eye in the storm Non-b**h, far from the norm, for sure If I didn't know any better Say she's DaQuan reborned The devil tried to spear me with horns And God put her in life Now my life's looking real bright
