Bone (9x)

 Now tell me whatcha gonna do when there ain't no where to run

When judgment comes for you, when judgment comes for you

Tell me whatcha gonna do when there ain't no where to hide

When judgment comes for you 'coz it's gonna come for you

Let's all bring it in for Wally, Eazy sees uncle Charlie

Little Boo, God's got him and I'm gonna miss everybody

I only roll with Bone my gang look to where they lay

When playing with destiny, play too deep for me to say

Lil' Layzie came to me, told me if he should decease well then please

Bury me by my grand-grand and when you can, come follow me

God bless you, working on a plan to heaven

Follow the Lord all 24/7 days, God is who we praise

Even though the devil's all up in my face

But he keeping me safe and in my place, say grace

For the case to race with a chance to face the judge

And I guess my soul won't budge

Grudge because there's no mercy for thugs

Oh, what can I do it's all about our family and how we roll

Can I get a witness? Let it unfold

We living our lives to eternal our soul

Hey, and we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray

Still we laced, now follow me roll stroll

Whether is tell of his heaven

Come let's go take a visit of people that's long gone

Darris, Wally, Eazy, Terry, Boo

It's steadily creeping up on the family

Exactly how many days we got lasting

While you laughing we're passing, passing away

So y'all go rest y'all souls

'Coz I know I'ma meet you up at the crossroad

Y'all know y'all forever got love from them Bone Thugs, baby

Now Eazy's long gone

Really wish he would come home

But when it's time to die

Gotta go bye-bye

All a thug could do is cry, cry

Why they kill my dog and man

I miss my uncle Charles y'all

And he shoudn't be gone, in front of his home

What they did to Boo was wrong

Oh so wrong, oh so wrong

Gotta hold on, gotta stay strong

When the day comes

Better believe bone got a shoulder you can lean on

Hey and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

And we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray

Everday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Chorus

See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads

So you won't be lonely (4x)

And I'm gonna miss everybody

And I'm gonna miss everybody when I'm gone (3x)

Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven

That's how we roll (3x)

And I'm asking the good Lord "why?" and sigh

It's I he told me we live to die

What's up with murder y'all, see my little cousin was hung

Somebody was really wrong, everybody want to test us dawg

Then Miss Sleazy set up Eazy to fall, you know why we sinning

And Krayzie intended on ending it when it ends

Wanna come again, again and again

Now tell me whatcha gonna do

Can somebody anybody tell me why?

Hey, can somebody anybody tell me why we die, we die?

I don't wanna die

Oh so wrong, oh wrong

Chorus
