Nate Dogg - Teardrops and Closed Caskets lyrics

[Intro] (Hahhh, hahaha) Hehehe, word It's like all we got left – teardrops and closed caskets (Throw it up, fool! Hey, n***a, haha) Tell me how you feel, homie [Verse 1: 2Pac & (Outlawz)] (Yeah, it took a week to go down) You recollects and see how crazy it sounds, the whole town's on a mission, adolescents (Penitentiary bound) (Now introducin' Young Trigga) Since birth, eyes set on gettin' bigger Just another wild-a** n***a (But he was fiendin' for Precious) WHAT? (But Precious was a ghetto girl) Couldn't be no s** without that gold Lexus (But Lil' Trigga was heartbroken, he had to get his papers) Seein' visions of people smokin' and n***as catchin vapors Got his man from around the corner (we'll call him Lil' Mo) (Been in so many reform schools they had to let him go) (Here's where the plot thickens) They got a plot to make a profit with they Glocks spittin' (They call the squad, hittin' blocks with they guns blowin') (Somebody's gonna die tonight) still no one's knowin' So they kept goin', catchin' dealers comin' out they cars (Will they survive?) (Two semi-automatic 9's, them n***as died) (Plus nobody in the hood cries It's like they celebrate to d**h and wish they could die) So peep the lesson, but wait a minute, back to Precious She's snortin' dope in the back seat of Trigg's Lexus Teardrops and closed caskets [Hook: Nate Dogg & (2Pac w/ Outlawz)] Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets).. (Teardrops and closed caskets) Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets) [Verse 2: 2Pac & Outlawz] (Don't let these ghetto streets get you, Precious) (was the victim, from a dime to a nickel) Hopin God's blessings stick with ya Picture the neighborhood kingpin who's gettin' bigger Familiar face, but a man now, it's Lil' Trigga Now Lil' Mo was a soldier to the fullest Down for his homies, always the first to spit bullets (All he wanted was to be a thug) Never pictured his truest homeboy would fall in love (Here's where it gets ya) Now Precious is pregnant, Lil' Trigga is happy He wants to marry her now (not knowin' he ain't the daddy) But Precious was lonely while Lil' Trigga was makin' dough She's slippin' in secret places and gettin' with Lil' Mo The neighborhood's buzzin', now people are talkin' Lil' Trigga's gettin' pictures of the both of 'em walkin' (Hand in hand, couldn't understand) how his baby's mama could disappear with another man (and his best friend) Now jealousy's dangerous, and if you don't believe me Then watch the way that this story ends and maybe you'll see There ain't no heroes or villains, ain't no pleasure in k**in' Just the smoke from the cap peelin' a man with no feelings Teardrops and closed caskets [Hook: Nate Dogg & (2Pac w/ Outlawz)] Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets) (Bury you dead and look ahead) (a man with no feelings) Teardrops and closed caskets) Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets) [Verse 3: Outlawz] Now with the problems of poverty and the tricks to these tales How many people'll die? How many'll live to tell? Although best friends before, Lil' Trigga and Mo They in an all out war, over a fiend they ain't know Behind the curtains their privacy lust is already laid down The results is the same with different names and it turns out [Ad-libs: 2Pac] Y'all know how it is, same old thing in the same old town Lil' Trigg got his nose wide open on this one trick Now he's played out [Verse 4: 2Pac & (Outlawz)] Think it's Lil' Mo (was plottin' plans on gettin' bigger) (Precious was his way to put his hands on Lil' Trigga) All the while let's look at Precious: too dumb to see what's goin' down (too doped up to ask questions) Used to be comrades, (but now we blast on sight) What could be so bad? (God, will we last tonight?) From misdemeanors to felonies, small-time to sellin' ki's I can't believe the sh** they tellin' me They open fire, three bodies drop, so call the cops (Precious, Lil' Mo and Trigg) – teardrops and closed caskets [Overlapped Hook: Nate Dogg & (2Pac w/ Outlawz)] Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets) Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets) Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? (Teardrops and closed caskets) Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? Will I!!.., forever be!!.., alone!!!? [Collision: 2Pac] Aye, QDIII in this motherf**er We dedicate this to all the fallen comrades (that's right) All the homies that didn't make it to see this day (rest in peace) Yaknahmean? I know it's hard out there, heheh With teardrops and closed caskets It's like that's all we got to look forward to these days Murders, brothers dyin', funerals sh**, it's like I done ran out of suits, homie I done ran out of tears Know we gon' have to do somethin' y'all We gon' have to do something, cause I know all these mothers is tired of seeing the same thing (rest in peace) I send this out to Mutulu and Geronimo And to all the fallen comrades, all the soldiers (to the homie Boonie, rest in peace, n***a) All the homies that fell, all the homies May God bless your families May you always live in the motherf**in' heart In a thug n***a's heart forever (that's right) Rest in peace, n***a May your enemies be deceased, dead on the streets We can't have peace 'til the n***as get a piece
