Lyrics
1972, May twenty first an average cat in the projects came, sent to earth// trouble in life as soon as it started at the age of one and a half, his father departed// livin in new york, always was on the honour rool but with his wealth he always was a goner though// by the age of thirtreen he was introduced to crack and 4 years later he dropped out to slew all that// hung out with the wrong crowd and looked up to drug dealer but it was destin in a place where all u hearis slugs peelin// shootin dice, drugs he'd do for price he ruined his life, but came soon to a mic// he was selectively healed, and he got a record deal who would have ever thought that he would grow to make a mil// got respect everywhere, everyone knew his name he had the riches and didn't need to slew the cane// but caught up in a beef with one of his past friends lead to a shooting and then a fast death// lyrically ive always seen him as the tallest and its with that i say rest in peace christopher wallace// 1971, June 16 he was born, an inspiration soon to be// crack was introduced and it was a critical time his mother was a panther, a political mind// born in new york, he had love for the arts went to baltimore and began to summon a start// at 16 he moved to marin city, calilfornia started to smoke weed and sellin drugs on the corners// dropped outta school but maintained his academics always readin books learnin bout the worlds epidemics// thug mentality he lived the life he spoke and reflected important issues in the rhymes he wrote// inspired many to help the community celebrated black and white and prayed for unity// starred in movies rop hit album after another i didn't know him but still to me he was a brother hit the blocks with the glocks his album gettin copped a beef with a past friend resulted in him gettin shot// in inspiration to all, no doubt for sure and its with that i say rest in peace tupac shakur// 1974, May 30th a lyrical talent who lived a liffe curious// struggled with his family his father was gone he was prayin to god that he saw them alone// harlem, new york, he came from the gutter never the most popular but sang from his gutter// amazing talent when it came to the microphone rapped with an amazing range like a psychlone// one of the best freestyler ever if i can recall never appeared that any point hed have his feet fall// dropped album after album, 7 in the hood started wonderin when he'd blow up if ever he would// got in the business and put everything on the table resulted in him being able to sing on his own label// it didn't appear that his career would slow up and he was finally at last gettin ready to blow up// started launchin some of the illest rappers of this time but deep inside he was a gun clapper all the time// one night he was walkin back to his home got shot by jealous punks and took smacks to his dome// as far as im concerned he hasnt stopped rollin its with that i say rest in peace Lamont Coleman//
