Joell Ortiz - Good Man Is Gone lyrics

[sample of Monk Higgins' "A Good Man is Gone"] "If he had left here in a natural way I would feel better when I hear me, say A good man is gone" [Joell Ortiz] In a natural way, then what? Haha What? Uhh, uhh A half a G and E&J out in the big park When it got dark we occasionally let the fifth bark You was a hustler, I was a rhyme writer You would serve customers, I would ignite cyphers We rode around, try and get a** in a white Mazda 'til one day you just disappeared like my father (hey) 'Member you talkin 'bout that out-of-town dough You was drunk, most of the time I ain't think you'd be out yo You was drunk, most of the time I ain't think you'd be out yo Sure did, took your wife and your kid out to P-A Right around my B-day; guess you had it mapped out Always knew the crack route Had them kids in that small town shook rollin dice with your gat out I visited time to time, I had to check my dude You had the hoes on a string, they always blessed the crew A shotgun shell turned my man flesh to stew Damn Jizz, we miss you [Chorus: Joell Ortiz] A good man is gone {"A good man is gone, gone, gonnnne"} Gone, a good man is gone {"A good man is gone, gone, gonnnne"} A good man is gone {"A good man is gone, gone, gonnnne"} A good man is gone {"A good man is gonnnnne"} Gone, gone, gone {"A good man is gone"} [Joell Ortiz] Uhh, I met you at Sue's Rendezvous on a Tuesday Flex spinnin, I see it like it was today Block Royal emblem on your Polo tee Handsome n***a, no h*mo B, you had that glow though see I 'member you asked why I'm so low-key With such a fire mixtape I need a promo V You introduced me to the family, took it out to Jers' Studio in the basement when I pronounce the words Studio in the basement when I pronounce the words I 'member you goin crazy, "Told you he get his flame on" Right after that's when you introduced me to Akon We 'posed to get a track that was nuts like acorns Years since you gone I'm still gettin my wait on Anyway, your boy gettin his fame on Aftermath gang, got my Eminem and my Dre on Still rep B-R, know I carry the name on Damn Screw, we miss you [Chorus w/ minor variations] [Joell] Uhh! [Interlude: Joell Ortiz] This is for anyone who's ever took a loss In bed, lights out, you just turn and you toss It wasn't they turn, it wasn't they turn Listen, we all got somethin to learn [Joell Ortiz] Two things is certain, you live then you die And I'ma do a lot of livin 'fore I get to the sky 'Fore I sit with that guy and repent for my sins On my knees hands together and I pray to get in On my knees hands together and I pray to get in But until then (what) man I'm playin to win I came in this game po', I'ma say YAY at the end You ain't super duper nice don't be displayin your pen I'll expose it, none of your friends'll claim you again (who?) Joell Ortiz is the name I defend In the streets, on beats, on every stage I attend I'm official! God forbid I'll die by that pistol Say YAOWA, we miss you (word) [Chorus] [Interlude] [Outro: Joell Ortiz] A good man y'all, a good man is gone I know you lost somebody This is for you, and you, yeah Keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all... Keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all, keep 'em alive y'all... A good man is gone
