Blackbird R.I.P. Lyrics

[Speaking: Woodie]
Yeah. My boy Blackbird,
This your boy Wood, homie
Still down here struggling Dog
Be there in a minute.
It's me, Lil' Los, Shadow, Lou-E-Lou
Lil' bird in this muthafucka too
This dedicated to you homie.
Blackbird!

[Verse 1: Woodie]
Do you remember when I bought the '75 caprice glasshouse?
I came back to the Yoc after pullin' eight hundred cash out.
We took it to my pops shop... And sanded it down.
Got it sprayed apple green,
We sixteen, through the town.
That was when the clicks 'Down-N-Dirty album just dropped.
And that "Mr. Flamboyant" made them bi-9's knock.
We were dippin' so hard we had the wheel comin' off the ground,
Tryin' to peel every notch in town
While attemptin' to keep the 'Yoc locked down.
Any scraps we ran across we hopped out and got down
Drinkin' 40's, smokin' bammer.
Earnin' stripes was our life
Buyin' any strap we could, what good was a knife?
We was tryin' ta take 'em all out the game
And at the same time had the hoes callin' our name.
We were naive and young... Maybe even dumb
But there's nothin' like the feelin' when the respect comes
Cause many recognized we'd gotten down to business
And very capable of leavin' enemies wigs split
We was kids... showin' up to school the next day
Like nothin' happened.
'It's all part of life in the bay...'
hey
I guess our fathers bred some killaz
But I'm still here and you're gone and I don't feel a Muthafuckin' thang of that.
I wanna bring it back
Blackbird! I wish I could bring ya back

[Chorus: Woodie]
Blackbird
dedicated his life to the game
So if you're Norteno, remember his name,
Carlos Joseph Ramirez, a soldier much love,
Amongst any homeboyz that now rest above
Blackbird!

[Verse 2: Lil' Los]
This is dedicated to my homie that never made it
I reminisce and miss you even more when I'm faded
You were always hated and misunderstood
Just a down muthafucka that was reppin' his hood
I wish you could come back like you did that one time
When you walked up 'all good' it nearly blew my mind.
As I rewind and think about that love you showed
Especially when you let me know it's hard to let you go
I know, fasho, you're in a better place restin' in peace
With that struggle off your face
Ain't nothin' gonna replace the times we all had.
Kickin' it in the alley drinkin' liquor smokin' bammer sacs
It really don't matter, man for what ya did
I got your back 'till this day.
I gives a fuck what they say
Send my love to Ray
I know he's up there hearin' this
I bet your in the studio next to me feelin' this
I wish I could get rid of this feelin' that I got
When I smash thru the Yoc with your image in my knoch.
Turn my back I will not
We'll forever be bound
givin' love to my homie
Pourin' liquor on the ground
Always like a big brother protectin' me in the streets
A homie like no other
Was always real when he speaked
Soon will be Time for me so I'll see you later
God bless.
~Rest In Peace~ man, and fuck these haters!

[Chorus: Woodie]
Blackbird!
Ddicated his life to the game
So if you're Norteno, remember his name.
Carlos Joseph Ramirez, a soldier much love
Amongst many homeboyz that now rest above
Blackbird!

[Verse 3: Shadow]
I'm fosho of what I know,
My folks got murdered by the 'PoPo'
They tip-toed to unload. Exposed and covered up in CoCo
County so don't doubt me cause up in my town
their ain't no cushion
Plottin' & pushin', the Po's is crooked
You'll see me creepin' up under the bushes.
Look at the pain imposed, we lost. Big Los. was gone awhile but they hit home
Never thought it'd get so shady
Los, the babies, and now Raymond's gone.
But remains are all the memories, recollections, and reflections.
I cab recall all of us.
The 'H' is on. Our gauges strapped in-
25 7's - Smithon Wesson
It's nothing too expensive cause we didn't have scratch
But we had each others back
Now I'm like,"Damn man what happened to that?"
I miss the times when we would ride.
Times side by side before Los died.
I cried that night in the park but in my heart and mind..
You're still alive
So get it right,
It's Blackbird!
Cause he never been no coward puttin'in in that phat work on you rivals
Keepin' His title 'till His final hour!
Now nothings the same
Wanna go back, erase the game
Change his fate. For thangs attained, Insane.
Livin' up in the strange!
And I remain to be the same O.G.
You'll always see up in these streets with a heat beneath the seat.
4 G's can't creep complete.
My grip can't breathe
Remember this lender, clubbin' never trendin' or pretendin'
No surrender.
Northern member.
Callin' the Blackbird on these yappers.
Let's go back let's reminisce
The click was thick but few were G's though.
We're ridin' it hitless shoutin' at bitches and fuckin' B. and C. hoes.
The Tree, up at The High,
You, Wood, and I
We hittin' switches.
I miss you
and we're with you
So to you this is the tribute!

[Chorus: Woodie]
Blackbird
Dedicated his life to the game
So if you're Norteno, remember his name;
Carlos Joseph Ramirez - a soldier. Much love.
Amongst many homeboyz that now rest above.
Blackbird!

[Verse 4: Lou-e-Lou]
As sweat hit my forehead feel it trickle thru my skin
Holdin' in my ghetto tears.
Blackbird, listen
'member gettin' drunk and H'd when BNT was around?
Cuttin' prices on the ghetto cars, trafficin' town
But then when I didn't you felt like we splittin'
Cause I was lost in that life and rarely would kick it.
My bad! I was gone in that fast pace one track mind
but if needed I would ride at the drop of a dime.
When that sucka pulled a strap I snatched the strap out his hand
You shook like a pitt and put hands on the man.
Now that I'm thinkin', it's good that you did it
Cause as 'eh paper was showin' that faggot was snitchin'
I'm grown now, homie, no more foolish behavior
I'm legit, laced up with a 6th sense of a player
I'm taking care of my daughter cause that girl need a father
All that bullshit before this nigga don't bother
Still I'm northern Cali bred
Caught a blood to the head.
Tryna get ahead and give a finger to the feds
Gotta ticket to heaven?
Have mercy on our sins
You understand and have compassion
For the bond amongst friends

[Speaking: all]
[Lou-e-Lou]Rest in peace playboy
[Shadow]We all love you homie
[Lil Los]'ll never forget you Los
[Woodie]Got a good game out homie
But for that I'll be witchu right now
Without a second thought

[Chorus: Woodie]
