Grandmaster Caz - A Good Man Is Gone lyrics

[Verse 1] n***as like to bust, it's just another night to us But don't nobody win when a good man bite the dust He wasn't black or white to us He could have been your enemy but the cat was alright to us He even got tight with us, sometimes he used to light with us We had beef, he'd fight with us He didn't even like to 'cuss, but he wasn't to tight to bust Till somebody bust back, all [?] And splatter that kid's brain all over the park He's a rat, another [?] who wasn't hear that long And now a good man is gone [Hook] "What ended his life A man with his gun And now wonder what he would say.. If he were here today" [Verse 2] Ain't nothing happy but a good man buying a farm Ain't nothing nice when you can't solve a crying mom Ain't nothing cool, a brother k**ed by one of his own Ain't nothing right, a good man is gone And you can cry, I know you gotta a lot of tears Cause this guy you know for a lot of years And you wish you could bring him back somehow But can't nobody help with now All you can do is remember how he used to smile And make sure the cat who did it don't make it to trial And do the best you can to look out for his child Get in his shoes, and walk a mile [Hook] [Verse 3] He could have been the next Malcolm or Marcus Garvey But somebody had to go out just like Lee Harvey And strike a brother down in his prime They're ain't no telling what he could have done giving the time He could have been the next pres, win a Nobel Prize Could have been somebody famous or one of the guys Could have been a leader, that would have changed that course Could have get five mics in the Source He could have done great things, and find a cure for cancer To life's questions, he might have had the answers But I guess we'll never know, cause a gun was drawn Now another good man is gone
