You the pearl in the ocean, I'm up on the land, pissed
I popped a bottle on your born day, God
That time will change the ending
Now I'm in the booth, ten feet from where he lay dead
That time will change the ending
Watching your pen swish, you love frying king fish
I've gone through life pretending
Rivers I cried, my brother just died
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
It's always the good ones that have to die
I know it's real, guess I slept with the Black Jesus
These walls I wanna crash and put my fists through
That time will change the ending
It's all wasted, flushed down the drain and
Trey-five-seven cracked ya ribs, cops shot ya whip
We singing on tour, "Ooh baby, we like it raw"
Took four or five shots when they rushed in the crib
Reach out and kiss you in your coffin, my heart races
That time will change the ending
Who's who and what's what and probably go nuts
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
Damn, it's hurts me, I hate it when brother's go early
I've gone through life pretending
I became weak when I heard, that his body expired
I've gone through life pretending
I'ma see you, my nigga, on the other side
From the God Mobile, to Linden Plaza, to Brownsville
I know you didn't say what I thought you said, my brother's dead
But those mistakes behind me
'Shame On A Nigga', I heard the reaper done came to get ya
They tried to keep ya free spirit trapped in a jar
Us forming like a family, you just blew
Ah, man, how do I say goodbye?
I've gone through life pretending
Suddenly the clock stopped and the room started spinning
When I first heard the word, I needed air to clear my head
I've gone through life pretending
You crazy, another Dirty prank to get the family cranked
Crashed cars, still came out without a scar
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
That time will change the ending
So I done copped a fifth of Vodka and in your honor
I dropped tears and watch my nigga fall from greatness
Soon as the news hit me, I bust out with pain and
Now I'ma swallow this whole bottle for Ol' Dirty
Y'all niggas shouldn't play like that, I know how you feel
Some say it's bad karma, what you do, man, it come back on ya
[Incomprehensible] Dirt
How can he walk off the field during the first inning?
I cried like a baby on the way to his place of death
I've gone through life pretending
You was the chess piece on the board, that made us look true
That time will change the ending
That time will change the ending
When You said that The Passion of Christ was all about You
I think about him on this song and what he might've said
It's hard to live without you, God, I shouldn't have doubt You
That time will change the ending
You interrupt the Grammy's said, "Wu for the kids"
Shout out to Dirty, let the whole world miss you
So you'll keep ya mouth shut and not tell the world
And I share the blame, 'cuz you was calling for help, kid
I've gone through life pretending
In his lab, that resemble you, and what it meant to Wu
That time will change the ending
I carry on your struggle, each day it really hurts me
You've been chased by the pigs, sold the four year bid
How we treat them hoes? How we treat them hoes?
Lord, but it's real, and I still can't believe
I've gone through life pretending
I've gone through life pretending
Florida to Ohio, to Putnam, to Park Hill
Now you moving more prestigious, me, hitting this reefer
Tried hard not to cry, I still can't hide the scar
It was hard for me to believe my brother retired
Word to my son, he gon' remember you, rubbing on a statue
That time will change the ending
Music got us up off them crack corners
I've grown this fetish for loose ladies and baby mommas
Hate not being there, the minutes before he left
I've gone through life pretending
And my heart still grieves the loss, there's no pretending
I really miss you Russell, hope you forgive me Dirty
Ason Unique, loved wine and fine women
Peace to the God, pour out a little liquor
Should've, could've, would've, had the time, I was selfish
As I stood there beside your mom
That time will change the ending
And I still ask, why to God, analyzing your form
I've gone through life pretending
