FALLEN SOLDIERS
Peace to Steve Kelly and my boy Johnnie Jones I know you're gone! I'm gon' miss you But life goes on It's a struggle in the streets And we hustle just to eat Tote heat big enough To give the street a good sweep Homies young and they dying So you hear the mamas crying See him laying in the dirt Not breathing! Ain't trying Pop's grieving! Shots flying All this liquor that we buying Screaming "Thug Life" Drive by, bust and keep riding I know who killed my boy But that coward keep hiding I'm gon cut him like a sorry player Wait until I find him In the mean time picture X On the block grinding That's an old photograph You should picture X shining You should picture Junior breathing Picture us not grieving The graveyard with no stones No bones even Even Pac could come back Take Pun to see Crack Never see an R.I.P. Where B.I.G was placed at Picture every rapper in the church Where Pastor Mace at Close the album--homies gone' And nothing can replace that I wrote a will a while ago But you can go erase that When I die bury me In a Bentley Maybach And I'll drive into Heaven Sitting on some twenty-sevens Find my grandaddy-- He died just when I turned eleven And I'll see my boy Prince Trust me dawg, I've been waiting Ever since you died that week Before high school graduation But I can't be anxious... Trying to be patient Got a woman that I love Can't leave her life vacant Wishing that we could go back Reverse the ride Let's have moment of silence For the folks that died... |

i can see why everyone says u remind them of pac in a way. it's true, i won't deny that but i couldn't say a particular song that this reminded me of becuz it has a style of it's own. ur style that cannot be imitated. damn good write, and that's not an opinion. that's the truth.| | Posted on 2005-08-01 00:00:00 | by unknown soldier | [ Reply to This ] | like then one too the same thing goes for the last poem i commented bout i aint gonna lie to u though i think u kinda sound like pac but thats jus my popion peace | | Posted on 2005-07-30 00:00:00 | by heavy knowledge | [ Reply to This ] | this feels like an original street piece and i is heart felt and meanignful and i enjoyed it very much, thanks for the write, it sounded sorta like 2pac, and i had the song '''that's the way it is'' you knowhatimean? very cool X cheers"! | | Posted on 2005-07-28 00:00:00 | by orpheus | [ Reply to This ] | wow X that was wow total props i loved it. a new fave for me. it was straight from the heart and thats awsome. im sorry for your loss. and it would be amazing if people could come back that didnt need to die for no real reason. great read and write keep it up...Joy | | Posted on 2005-07-24 00:00:00 | by sweet_rayne | [ Reply to This ] | Straight to the heart. I'm one of very few people who've never lost someone close to them. I can only imagine what that has to be like. This is incredible. Simply and beautifully incredible. | | Posted on 2005-07-22 00:00:00 | by AngelOutlaw | [ Reply to This ] | Even Pac could come back | Take Pun to see Crack Never see an R.I.P. Where B.I.G was placed at Picture every rapper in the church Where Pastor Mace at Close the album-homies gone' And nothing can replace that I wrote a will a while ago But you can go erase that When I die bury me In a Bentley Maybach those lines hit me the most, thinkin back to all our lost patriarchs and idols of hip-hop. i'm srry for your lost loves ones, brian. god knows i've had ones that i love die. Melissa, Paw-Pee, Gamee,...the list goes on. the main idea is for us to never let go, tho we may stop cryin and our facesdry, we never let go. very somber piece for you, not that it matters. brilliant.~P.J. | Posted on 2005-07-21 00:00:00 | by Aknahlij_d 1 | [ Reply to This ] | First let me say I am sorry about your sudden lost of your cousin Jr. its such a shame how young kids see all this volinece in video's and think its cool and only see women as booty shaking whores. The streets are very tough,but only the people who live that life can change it, asking the Gov or police to stop it,will never do any good. its takes good parents and tight families to overcome it. | This is an excellent write and so so so true,bravo | Posted on 2005-07-21 00:00:00 | by edthepoet | [ Reply to This ] | This was an excrutiatingly heartfelf piece! It was so sad, mixed with a little bit of rage maybe? Too many lives are taken too soon and others you just don't want to let go of. You've hit a lot of hearts with this and did a wonderful job! | I'm so very sorry for your losses...you seem to have a lot of strength to carry on- you've shown a lot of it in your writing! Great job! Candi | Posted on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 | by dreamweaver | [ Reply to This ] | Well this is a very mature piece, Brian, I commend you for keeping your obvious emotions in check. | You do well to give us a small insight of the character of those you've lost, to drag the reader into the sorrow, and hope, that you put into this. Once again, you impress greatly. Well done, and, I mean this: be Happy Graeme | Posted on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 | by wewak11 | [ Reply to This ] | ooohhhh X, i really respect this piece...its a nice tribute to people that mean so much to you, that have gone somewhere a whole lot better than this! my condolences for your loss, but you are showing great strength and courage through it...the flow was great and i could even hear the music. | trust that it will get easier...though you wont forget you will shine in their memories... -nikki | Posted on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 | by stolie77 | [ Reply to This ] | I guess the only one's I have lost were my granddad and a brother-in-law. Both are missed. This is an exceptional piece and touches at the heartstrings. Amazingly written. | It has a sense of sadness and longing to be with those that you've lost.. Yet a desire to remain and "live".. for them, and those who are still here. The last stanza was an excellent way to close this out. A moment of silence... ~ Sandra | Posted on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 | by Intricate1 | [ Reply to This ] | Good write brian. When a remembrance piece is written it takes everybody back to the time they lost someone. And thats you did. Kinda like that old school song by p, i miss my homies, you truly trying to remember in the best way and that i gotta applaude you for. Im sorry for your loss but keep your head up | DylanPoe | Posted on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 | by dylanpoe | [ Reply to This ] | You touched on emotions that I've tried to forget B...you truly have...This was a very somber and hearfelt requiem for all that was. | Death funny...though it stops a life it brings together so many more...think of how close you are at the funeral services with all the other who are grieving...think back to a burial of a long time homie and remember the embrace you gave to that one person you hadn't seen in years and swore you didnt care about...but because of a mutual death you cling to that person for comfort, for relief...man i'm sorry i dont mean to ramble on your piece but you've just made a retired soldier think... | Posted on 2005-07-20 00:00:00 | by Brownsdelight | [ Reply to This ] | Wow this is a masterpiece..It got me crying immensely ...I mean you got me contemplating about the struggle of our black youth...caught up in these social injustices..However it captures the beauty of our talented and gifted brothers, while some have given up the fight to realise their potential!This is an inspirational piece...Nobantu | | Posted on 2005-08-03 00:00:00 | by Nobantu | [ Reply to This ] | |
