Track: 1
Title: AALIYAH TRIBUTE
Artist: Diorgen

A tribute – to all those fallen but not forgotten

Chorus
God why? Do the young have to dye so young – we sling crills in the hood where we from – like the moon stop reflecting the sun – ya had to take Biggie, Pac and Pun – Aaliyah we’ll miss you – Aaliyah (2 X’s)

Now if the street lights could talk would ya listen and if the stars fell from the skies wouldn’t ya miss em – it’s a whole lotta lost and gone – why we fightin thru this life we gonna keep you strong – and I be thinking about the black children that’s capped, peelin they crack, singin they stack – is the truth that Im revealing inside – these wounds that’s not healing – from this day to the last all things in my path will be dealt with – heaven help us to answer these questions – God why?

Chorus

After all the things that I’ve been through – like they still wanna kill my high and I ask God why? I guess they do it to make me stronger -–to better develop my physical and mental armor – I had to go through things – painful things – so I could appreciate some of the joys life brings – I’m from the county of Kings where everything’s so twisted – you didn’t wanna get hit – you had to lick shots from biscuits – I live this for real – blood spills – graves fill – quicker than you think – pour some out before you drink – for them playas who could have been you clutchin that ooz – panic dudes – its like we didn’t even choose to shoot – walkin – soft men with frost in ya lift – hot and scorchin and if I meditate then maybe I could erase some of these closed gates – my dome aches – I concentrate on early graves and ask God why?

Chorus

Stars fall from the sky sometimes – we’ll miss you
