Fat Joe - Flowers For The Dead lyrics

[Produced by Chi] [Intro: Cuban Link] Let's have a moment of silence for those that ain't here right now I know you're up in heaven smiling down You might be gone, but never forgotten Flowers for the dead At times, I still hear your voice in my head But I wish you was here instead And all our precious memories, I'll never forget [Verse 1: Cuban Link] Twin, we've been best friends ever since we were little kids So I sit and reminisce on all the things we ever did I remember all the stupid sh** I can't forget Hope God forgive us for our sins and give you the strength to live Far from sensitive, but I'm shedding tears right now Cause I'm watching you fight for your life and I can't help out Meanwhile, the doctor's shocking your chest, checking for breath I was with you from the stretcher to the hospital bed Not believing it yet, everybody sad and depressed Counting your blessings, praying and praying, hoping for the best Waitin' in bed, your wife duke shaking from stress Breaking in tears and fear, cause dog, she love you 'til d**h Next thing you know, the doctor comes out, just shaking his head Nothing was said but I betted in his face full of sweat You were dead, just all I saw instead was blood shot red And I felt a chill throughout my body that I'll never forget God bless you [Hook: D'Mingo] Flowers for the dead At times I hear your voice still in my head Wishing you were here instead These precious memories I can't forget (La flore pa' los muertos) Flowers for the dead At times I hear your voice still in my head Wishing you were here instead These precious memories I can't forget [Verse 2: Cuban Link] In my sleep, I hear you speaking to me and feel you reaching to me Wish I could see you, though I know you with me spiritually Physically, right here besides me is where I need you to be Keeping me company and take over this whole industry Memories of when we used to be too deep in the streets If there was beef, we had each others backs naturally If there was need for me to grab the heat, you'd grab it from me And blast off with no remorse just as long as its me Young indeed, we sat and chat on the block puffing trees Guzzling Hennessy, playing knuckles 'til one of us bleed You used to eat Rocks and read encyclopedias to me You was a genius, even though you had no college degree We were homies, but you will always be a brother to me So close, we always gave each other kiss on the cheek Big P, your legacy will always live on the street And best believe I'm a be there for your wife and three seeds Rest in peace [Hook: D'Mingo] Flowers for the dead At times I hear your voice still in my head Wishing you were here instead These precious memories I can't forget (La flore pa' los muertos) Flowers for the dead At times I hear your voice still in my head Wishing you were here instead These precious memories I can't forget [Verse 3: Cuban Link] Yeah, this is dedicated to the ones who never made it I hated the fact you faded away, you were the greatest So I say this prayer to pay my respects, I'll never forget you cause you special I'll catch you in my heart, may God bless you Rest in peace to my peoples who pa**ed away Best believe I'm a keep you alive always 'Til the day we meet again, face to face with a grin In Hell or Heaven, you my twin to the end And I'm a miss you [Hook: D'Mingo] Flowers for the dead At times I hear your voice still in my head Wishing you were here instead These precious memories I can't forget (La flore pa' los muertos) Flowers for the dead At times I hear your voice still in my head Wishing you were here instead These precious memories I can't forget [Outro] Rest in peace, n***a I know you chillin', I know you chillin'
