How come
we don't even
talk no more
And you don't
even call no more
We don't barely
keep in touch at all
And I don't even feel
the same love when
we hug no more
And I heard it through
the grapevine
we even beefin now
After all the years
we been down
ain't no way no how
This bullsh*t
can't be true
We family, ain't a damn
thing changed
Unless it's you
We were so young
So full of life and vibrance
side by side, wherever
you was riding, I went
So close almost on some
Bonnie and Clyde sh*t
When Ronnie died you
was right by my side
with a shoulder to cry on
and tissue to wipe my eyes
and a bucket to catch
every tear I cried inside it
You even had the same
type of childhood I did
Sometimes I just wanna
know why is it that
you succaim to yours
and mine I survived it
You ran the streets,
I nine to fived it
We grew up, grew
apart as time went by
us and I blew up to
both yours and
mine's surprises
Now I feel a vibe
I just can't describe it
Much as your pride tries
to hide it, you're cold
your touch is just like ice
And your eyes is a look
of resentment I can sense it
and I don't like it. How come
We don't even
talk no more
And you don't even
call no more
We don't barely
keep in touch at all
And I don't even feel
the same love when
we hug no more
And I heard it through
the grapevine
we even beefin now
After all the years
we been down
ain't no way no how
This bullsh*t
can't be true
We family, ain't a damn
thing changed
Unless it's you
It was my dream at first
to be off spitting a verse
on my own album with
a deal but sh*t got worse
'Fore I came out I woulda
killed a n*gga first
for I let him disrespect me
or check me over some
worthless b*tch that
I wasn't with
I woulda hit it and quit
but you were fitting to
talk with her and tell
her she was the sh*t
I told you don't get
involved with her
You would smoke in the car with
her coming outta the bar with her
stumbling half drunk like you
were husband and wife or
somethin' but me catching her
f***in' other n*ggas musta
hurt your pride or something
'Cos you were openin'
your mouth to people
like you wanted with me
When all I tried to do
was show you that your
b*tch was shifty
And every sister, fares
and all the sh*t that I
produced. You acting
like I ain't your man and
lying like she can't be loose
But I am really your friend
I'm just trying to tell ya
the truth. Don't hate the
game or the player, the
one that's changing is you
How come
We don't even
talk no more
And you don't even
call no more
We don't barely
keep in touch at all
And I don't even feel
the same love when
we hug no more
And I heard it through
the grapevine
we even beefin now
After all the years
we been down
ain't no way no how
This bullsh*t
can't be true
We family, ain't a damn
thing changed
Unless it's you
It gets lonely at the top
'cos my homie had to stop
now we acting like I gotta
live only for the block
And homies in the hood
only see me on the tube
So guys on the porch
get ta speaking all rude
Fools I used to rap with
all expect magic like my
finger get to snappin
and poof it just happen
But proof is just acting out
the part he was thrown
Shady made it
so my babies
ain't starving at home
See the devil
in your grace
Since the ghetto
we been friends
Whenever real intelligence
that's forever till the end
I peep the hatred in your
eyes and the satan in your lies
Ain't wasting my time
with these snakes in disguise
When you talk it's
with bitter and spite
It's my fault for what you
did with your life?
And everytime I go
to hear you play
you look away
We barely embrace,
you can't even
look me in my face
How come
We don't even
talk no more
And you don't even
call no more
We don't barely
keep in touch at all
And I don't even feel
the same love when
we hug no more
And I heard it through
the grapevine
we even beefin now
After all the years
we been down
ain't no way no how
This bullsh*t
can't be true
We family, ain't a damn
thing changed
Unless it's you
