[00:00.00]
[00:20.00]
[00:26.15]And the question remains,
[00:27.13]Why was he gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles
[00:29.15]And who was responsible?
[00:38.00]
[00:41.61]I'm feelin' some type of way
[00:43.41]Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya)
[00:47.25]Why they took your life away
[00:48.78]And left filled with some much pain
[00:52.21]I gotta make it on my own,
[00:53.67]Like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya)
[00:58.26]Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown
[01:03.45]They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
[01:07.43]It's a misery to me,
[01:10.09]I'll give anything to know who shot ya
[01:16.28]And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
[01:21.08]Somebody knows
[01:24.58]We were havin' a good time up in the party
[01:28.65]Even though we wasn't really speakin' at the time
[01:33.25]And we never got to have a conversation
[01:38.32]That still weighs heavy on my mind
[01:44.96]Busy ignorin' each other
[01:48.03]We didn't know if we be over
[01:50.58]In just a matter of time
[01:53.62](Neighbors call the cops, said they heard mad shots)
[01:55.78]I felt so helpless and frustrated and
[01:58.38]I damn near lost my mind
[02:00.40]And I still don't have the answers even after all this time
[02:05.49]I'm feelin' some type of way
[02:07.54]Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya)
[02:11.06]Why they took your life away
[02:13.05]And left filled with some much pain
[02:15.94]I gotta make it on my own,
[02:18.02]Like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya)
[02:21.78]Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown
[02:26.85]They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
[02:31.85]It's a misery to me, I'll give anything to know who shot ya
[02:40.05]And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
[02:45.13]Somebody knows
[02:49.29]Can't believe it's been this long
[02:51.37]Twenty years have come and gone
[02:53.45]There is so much we need to know
[02:57.27](Old school, new school need to learn though)
[02:59.04]And until I get some kind of resolution
[03:04.04]I cannot choose to let go (yeah)
[03:10.62]No help from the police
[03:12.47]Only hang on to the memories
[03:14.85]Whoever did it better stay low-key
[03:17.39]'Cause it's hard to creep them Brooklyn streets
[03:20.22]I felt so helpless and frustrated and
[03:22.27]I damn near lost my mind (damn near lost my mind)
[03:25.41]And I still don't have the
[03:26.81]Answers even after all this time
[03:29.64]I'm feelin' some type of way
[03:31.42]Can somebody explain why? (who shot ya)
[03:34.15]Why they took your life away
[03:37.34]And left filled with some much pain
[03:40.27]I gotta make it on my own,
[03:41.83]Like who's gon' hold me down, down (who shot ya)
[03:45.97]Your life was so refound, can't nobody wear your crown
[03:51.16]They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
[03:56.06]It's a misery to me,
[03:58.54]I'll give anything to know who shot ya
[04:04.02]And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
[04:09.27]Somebody knows
[04:12.92]I don't even know where to start
[04:14.03]And it's very hard to address it
[04:15.19]A conversation still that most ****** don't want to mess with
[04:17.95]Continue his blessings
[04:19.09]I send to you and Mama Wallace
[04:20.33]To this day I carry a picture of BIG in my wallet
[04:22.87]While I give you these bars,
[04:24.41]I try not to lose my composure
[04:25.44]It has been twenty years
[04:27.05]And yes you still lookin' for closure
[04:28.41]Still can't try over bein' a baby, not havin' my father
[04:30.83]My heart continues to go after CJ and T'yanna
[04:33.51]Tryna avoid truckin' 'bout it,
[04:35.34]Not to revisit the drama
[04:36.16]Let me remind the shooter
[04:37.14]That the most gangster ***** is karma
[04:38.57]Big Poppa, yes, we will rep your legacy proper
[04:41.48]And now downtown to provide the answers in your honor
[04:43.54]Frank and Pac,
[04:44.87]I hope y'all had the chance to talk in heaven fellas
[04:46.98]About the truth that really
[04:48.13]Led to why y'all both ain't here to tell us
[04:49.63]Y'all probably up there talkin'
[04:50.88]About who really ******' did it
[04:51.93]Maybe you a sinners should sign with some honest answers in it
[04:54.50]I walk to Tillery park where we use to smoke with Flex and
[04:57.31]Even after all this time,
[04:58.53]We could never fully accept it
[04:59.75]From Western house Brooklyn to bein' one of the great
[05:02.33]To the last time we linked up,
[05:04.18]I shed a tear at your wake
[05:05.56]The Notorious B.I.G. was silenced forever,
[05:07.91]And Los Angeles are searching for his killer
[05:15.00]
