[Dr. Dre]

Since you finishin em
early, what posessed you to start him?

We
made a vow - later we'll regret til death do us
part

Lord, I thought we was made for each
other

You shouldn't connect those, made to
be taken away from each other

Now what I'm
supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I
was

I'll never last, cause my better half
is up there with you

You knew what you was
doin when you made us; so with all due
respect

you coulda forgave him, you didn't
have to take him

He can take the game with
him, cause he defines the word

The one who
puts the G in it, who you think put me in it?

I'm feelin like my whole world is blinded -
wonderin why

Cryin, pourin out my heart,
pourin out liquor behind it

We fought like
brothers, somethin we never should do

We
coulda used time spent arguin tellin the
truth

He had talent too - I had plans on
watchin him grow

Don't know what hurts more
- seein him leave, or watchin him go

If you wanna know why.. (why I live
my life)

The way that I do.. (cause I got to
get this money)

So don't worry about me..
(cause I know my way around)

I'm just
hustlin everyday, runnin this race, makin this
paper



[Dr. Dre]

Youse a
soldier, you're probably packin heat up there

Met up with homies from the street, and got deep
up there

If you only knew the way I felt
before they ruined the crew

I thought I
learned from Eazy, now I'm goin through it with
you

We lost a thug, a son, and a father

I spoke to your son, the other day, and told him
Uncle Dre got him

The Lord must be
accidentally pulling your file

cause I'm
still paging you, 911, straight in denial

Prayin you get it, but no man can choose the
card he was dealt

You either quit, or you
gon' play it like you get it

I done been
through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin a
poker face

to straight breakin down and
showin all emotions

I'm anxious to believe
in real G's don't cry

If that's the truth,
then I'm realizin I ain't no gangsta

It's
just not me, but you know I'ma always ride wit
you

I miss you, sometimes I wish I just
died wit you



[Mary J. Blige]

Listen listen listen.. (listen) whoahh

Listen listen listen..

Listen listen listen..

[Rell +
(Mary)]

If you wanna know why.. (why I live

The way that I do.. (cause I got to

hustlin everyday, runnin this race, makin this
