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//
