Everything lyrics

[Intro]

I know, I know

Weezy Wee, this dedicated to my father, nigga

Rabbit nigga, y'all excuse the expressions

[Verse 1]

What it be like up there baby boy, ay this here ya son hollerin at ya

I miss the shit out ya, it's hard to be without ya

But I know you watchin, peepin down on how I'm livin

Ay, tell Jesus I said thanks for the blessings he sendin

Please ask him to forgive me for the sins I commit

Just let him know I'm still young and at risk

Say, I'll never forget the time that you caught me smokin herb in the house

I was dead wrong, I deserved to get out

But you just talked it over with my mom and got it situated in due time

Told me get the paper instead of high

So now I take that advice and shed light over my whole life dog

I wanted to be just like you my whole life dog

I can't believe them niggas stole ya, that shit's pain to me

But don't trip, I hold you down, you still remain through me

And dog I know I can't see you but I bet that you smilin

And I'm a make you even happier, I promise

[Chorus]

I know you can't be close to me nigga, I know

But I know you watchin over me nigga, I know

But the shit's steady hurtin, burn deep

But it's alright dog, everything gon' be alright dog

I know you can't be close to me nigga, I know

But I know you watchin over me nigga, I know

But the shit's steady hurtin, burn deep

But it's alright dog, everything gon' be alright dog

[Verse 2]

I know you see my daughter growin up and bad as ever

But she cool cause she do whatever daddy tell her

And your wife, she's still the most wonderful woman

I just built her a new house, she ain't runnin from nothin

B and Slim, them niggas still love me like they own child

Ms. Rose nerves get bad, but still she gon' smile

And me I'm on some squad shit and some debate it

But I know they love it way more than they hate it

And I know you probably laughin at the way I treat these hoes and these

Bitches

I try love 'em, my BM be trippin

But Rabbit, you know one thing, I got the game from you, every perspective

That's why I keep the gun at close connection for protection

And you see I left school behind and chose CMB

It was impossible on the road every week, but I know enough

And I follow by everything you ever told me, think wisely

Watch over me my nigga, just guide me

[Chorus]

I know you can't be close to me nigga, I know

But I know you watchin over me nigga, I know

But the shit's steady hurtin, burn deep

But it's alright dog, everything gon' be alright dog

I know you can't be close to me nigga, I know

But I know you watchin over me nigga, I know

But the shit's steady hurtin, burn deep

But it's alright dog, everything gon' be alright dog

[Verse 3]

I swear to you man, at some times I really wish I was with you

Cause I get fed up with this life and I miss you

Somebody pass me a tissue, and let me wipe the tears from my eyes

Yeah, nigga I cried, it's cause I loved you dog

I promise I won't ever put nothin above you dog

So I live my life in dedication of you dog

I know you see me happy on the outside and hurt within

Make me wanna grab that gun and burst again

But I know they got a reason why I'm here

And I know they got a reason why you gone

And therefore, I'm succeedin on my own

But you ain't never left me, nigga, you still dwell in my heart

I can't forget you kept it real from the start

And until my last breath I exhale, I'm a keep you with me

And when we do meet again, I'm a keep you with me

And tell them niggas Pac, B.I.G. and Pun I said "thay's my peoples"

Watch over me nigga 'til I see you

[Chorus]

I know you can't be close to me nigga, I know

But I know you watchin over me nigga, I know

But the shit's steady hurtin, burn deep

But it's alright dog, everything gon' be alright dog

I know you can't be close to me nigga, I know

But I know you watchin over me nigga, I know

[Outro]

I know I can't be close to you (dog)

I know you watching over me dog

But the shit's that it hurt and burn deep

Its alright dog, everything gon' be alright dog

Rabbit, nigga, its your son

I'm down in your hole and your down

You see Cita straight, mom straight

Your mom straight, I mean everything going right

B and Slim nigga, is the realist niggas I ever met dog

And plus now I'm on some squad shit

My niggas, they keep it real with me

I keep it real with them

My little girl growning beutiful as ever man

You need to see her dog, she bad though man

Anyway dog, aiight holla!
