(me)When we see hip-hop all we see is the fame
But there’s tragedies deaths and failures that lie beneath the game
It’s a shame, that people seem to look past this point
If it wasn’t for the legends, we wouldn’t be at this point
Biggie, Tupac, and Eazy-E, just to name a few
If only they could see, how much hip-hop grew
Take a second to think if there was no hip-hop on the globe
There’d be so many people without a lifestyle of their own
Children, adolescence, and grown, would all be with out rap
And every fan at the tupac concert would never be able to clap
Like christ on the cross, they lost their life for the love
Instead of watching in person, now they have to watch from above
Stranded with no love, their music kept me alive, when cries were filling my eyes
Now there’s more rapperz than any other race, quickly filling the skies
They started a quilt, and this new generation has to continue to sew
They created the flow, made hip-hop grow, and are our fallen heroes.


they fallen heroes but they'll neva die only multiply/
we can't jeapordize tha powa they gave us 2 rise/
tha gift of rap is all we have left in america 2day/
so pass it on like a fable how these real souljaz paved tha way/


(kilo704)tha game aint been tha same since Pac 'nem died/
altho i was young dat hit my soul, 4days i cried/
til i was lazy-eyed, couldn't hide tha pain i felt inside/
cuz they changed tha game thru they lives as high rollaz,/
kinivy ridahz, real ass niggas, and true mothafuckin souljaz/
even tho at times they spoke on violence, still they tried 2 kick a lil knowledge/
they was truly fallen heroes whose game was platinum polished/
from jam master 2 biggie from Pac 2 Yak............/
they worked they ass off and struggled 4 tha respect they got/
throughout my life my father wasn't neva there 4 me/
but thru they music i could feel as if dem niggaz really cared 4 me/
Makaveli Records was Tu Amaru's dream.......so it seems/
Somebody should carry tha torch and his ambitions 4 gettin cream/
i reminiss on daily talkin bout deez heroes on tha corna sippin grape soda/
how they shut down jigga'z sales and ripped shit game ova/
2day i'm still on that corna reppin da niggaz 1 ova,much love 2 tha fallen souljaz/


they fallen heroes but they'll neva die only multiply/
we can't jeapordize tha powa they gave us 2 rise/
tha gift of rap is all we have left in america 2day/
so pass it on like a fable how these real souljaz paved tha way/
