[Guru]

To my man G.O.V., I remember how you used to be

You were the illest man alive now I'm reading your eulogy

Eyes so serious, you told me hold my head

Pursue this rap shit and go forward never backwards

While you gripped Tec's tight, and ran niggaz out of town

I ripped up mics, showin wack niggaz how to sound

Still your essence, was callin

By two gunshots, at close range, your frame had fallen

Now like a angel you've risen

And you will stay in my heart, and yo I wish you were still livin

Word... this is in memory of



* I'm not sure about any of these names *



Zachary Bro, Cousin Paula

[Guru]

To my man Brian B, I remember how you used to be

You were the flyest in the club with three bitches doin rub-a-dub

You was the pimp of all panderers

GQ, Johnny Presley, fuckin up the elegances

So many hookers on your schedule

Slammin Cadillac doors and mackin whores on the regular

You used to boost, the slickest of suits

Climbin through the back windows on the bus, you was ill Dukes

Until that chick you vicked, for the Cutlass

started snillz-niffin ki-daine, and went to cut cha

That freak shanked you six times in your sleep

I wish you was here, cause your philosophy was mad deep

Yeah... this is in memory of



Keith 'Cowboy', Scott LaRock

Prince Messiah "Rest in peace"

Buffy, the Human Beatbox y'know

Seagram's, Killa Black from Mobb Deep

Biggie Smalls, yeah rest in peace

Lance Owens y'all



[Guru]

To all my brothers doin time, whether or not you did the crime

You know the system is devised to keep you deaf dumb and blind

Like Scarface said, them cats are smart

In order for things to change we must all play a part

It's easy for us to blame society

But now it's way too late, and we must take responsibility

To all my brothers in the streets

I know you feel you gotta hustle cause your peeps gotta eat

Makin moves right and exact; don't wanna see you layin flat

Don't wanna see ya catch a bullet black

If we don't build we'll be destroyed

That's the challenge we face in this race of poor and unemployed

Freud, a philosopher, but I'm a realist

So philosophize this, without love we won't exist

To those who passed out there, in the deserts and the jungles

with pain on their shoulders, and heavy bundles

I pray each one will, ascend to new heights and new enlightenment

And this is why I'm writin it

Yeah... this is in memory of



* I'm not sure about all of these names *

Linnet Grinnich, Cookie Murray

Yeah "Rest in peace"

Ross, Laverne La-La Eyelif

John Hood "Rest in peace"

Kevin Fredricks, Donny Charles

Leslie Clark, and Will Clark "Rest in peace"

Tommy Saunders, Princess Di

Don Clark, Betty Shabazz "Rest in peace"

This is in memory of...

"Rest in peace"
