Fallen Star
 

FALLEN STAR:da Josh Cain story


Itz been 1 year since dat cold winterz day
I pray 2 da skiez 4 da strength 2 not stray
4rm ya memory, we was 2gether, runawayz
crazy 2 think of how the eventz took place
crazed 4 freedom in da fast life we once lead
sippin 40z till da day break, neva a clear head
trippin wit da niggaz whom wit we broke bread
trust in all men we meet, even though de fled
in timez of need we was 2gether, sumwhat alone
stay strong my nigga! itz hard but try an hold on
itz been a long road but derz an end 2 all wrong
mammaz on da phone, she wantz us 2 come home
weve been gone 4 da longest, and where r we now
sleepin in da dirt, burnin shirtz, sockz, and towelz
2 keep warm, torn between givin up an stayin proud
derz a place 4 us back in da hood if ever we r found
u know ill alwayz miss ya

Chorus:
If ya ride 4 me, den nigga ill ride 4 u
stay true wit me an ill stay true wit u
i know itz stressful, livin seemz 2 hard
u left ya nigga on his own, I mourn ya,
fallen star
(singin) yaaaaa, i mourn ya, fallen star

Verse 2:
light up a J 4 dis one an keep it close 2 ya heart
I got ya memory in my mind so we neva r apart
itz hard witout ya everthing seemz distrought
fought at timez but we'll ride till da wheelz fall off
in dis life we see deelerz rise and ligit niggaz die
itz enough 2 make u give up & start livin outside
da law, itz a short cry, 4rm our dreamz were denied
night afta night might see da firmament in da sky
if were not careful, itz a dirty game we must prevail
through it an survive in da darkness of dis hell
stay lookin foward an hang da past on our coattail
keep our headz up wheneva it seemz dis lifez stale
now aint nobody say it was fair but me an u is 4eva
tight like brothaz alwayz der 4 1 anotha up in da Bello
but ur gone an now i feel dead but in a way even betta
sinse ya taught me how 2 live through it in dis ghetto
u know ill alwayz miss ya

Chorus 2x:

Extro:
Remember dayz lost in thoughtz of livin lavish
Remember times spent grindin an gettin cabbage
Remember scrappin wit niggaz an leavin bandaged
Remember if ya neva left us all alone , can u imagine
(singin) can u imagine, yaaaaaa, can u imagine

Josh Cain (1999: direct quote)
What r we doin wrong ya know, itz like every step we makez a fuckin
trap! ya know, when a kidz got his back 2 da wall where does he go
4rm der? ya derz no law in order when ya got nuttin 2 fight 4 or cling 2
when all u see is deelerz makin da paper an ligit mutha fuckerz on welfare
itz not hard 2 go 4rm innoscent 2 guilty, ya know a free mind only goes
as far as what da mind percieves......
