Текст песни: Blackbird R.i.p. + перевод

Yeah this one for my boy Blackbird

This your boy Woodie homie

Still down here struggling dog

Be there in a minute

It’s me, Lil' Los, Shadow, Lou-e-Lou

Lil' bird in this muthaf*cka too

This dedicated to you homie

Blackbird!

Do you remember when I bought the seventy-five 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 click down-n-dirty album just dropped

And that Mr. flamboyant made them by 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' forties, 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 have the hoes callin' our name

We were naive and young… Maybe even dumb

But there’s nothin' like the feelin' when the respect come

Cause many recognized we got 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

Muthaf*ckin' thang of that, I wanna bring it back

Blackbird! I wish I could bring ya back

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 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

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 muthaf*cka 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 for sure 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' mary sacs

It really don’t matter man for what you did

I got your back 'till this day

I gives a f*ck 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 knot

Turn my back I will not

Will forever be bound givin' love to my homie

Pourin' liquor on the ground

Always like a big brother protected me in the streets

A homie like no other

Was always real when he speaked

Soon it’ll be time for me so I’ll see you later

God bless rest in peace man and f*ck these haters!

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 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

I’m fosho of what I know my folks got murdered by the popo

They tip-toed to unload exposed and cover up in coco

Count me so don’t doubt me cause up in my town

There their ain’t no cush and plantin' bushes the po’s is crooked

You’ll see me creepin' up out of the bushes

Look at the pain imposed, we lost Big Los

I was gone awhile but they hit home

Never thought it’d get so shady

Lost the babies in our range is gone

But remains are all but memories recollections and reflections

I can move all of us

That h is on our gauge is strapped trade by 7's smithin' west

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 still alive

So keep ridin' it’s Blackbird

Cause you never been no coward puttin' that phat work on you rivals

Keepin' the title 'till it spiral out

But now nothing to say wanna go back erase the game

Change his fate for thangs attained insane

Live it up in the strange and I remain to be the same old g

You’ll always see up in these streets with heat beneath the seat four g’s

I’m the creep no peace fire free and breeze

Remember this underclubbin' never tendin' or pretendin'

No surrender northern member

Callin' the Blackbird look at the yappers

Let’s go back let’s reminisce

The click was thick but few were g’s though

You were ridin' hitless shoutin' at b*tches not f*ckin' P.N.C

Hoes was creepin' up at the high you would deny

We hittin' switches unless you would we with you

So to you this is the tribute

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 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

That sweat hit my forehead feel it trickle thru my skin

Holdin' in my ghetto tears

Blackbird let’s remember gettin' drunk in H when BNT was around

Cuttin' prices on the you know cars trafficin' it down

But then when I did it you felt like we spitted

Cause I was lost in that light and really was kickin'

My bad I was gone in that fast pace one track mind

Lift needed I would ride then a drop I would die

When that sucka pulled a strap I snatched the strap out his hand

You shook like a pitt and put yo hands on the man

Now that I’m thinkin' it’s good that you did it

Cause as paper was showin' that thang’n was snitchin'

I’m grown now homie no more foolish behavior

I’m the gent laced up with a 6th sense of a player

I’m taking care of my daughter cause I don’t need a father

All that bullshit before this n*gga don’t bother

Still I’m northern Cali red caught a bud to their head

Tryna get ahead or give a finger to the feds

Can I drink it to heaven have mercy on our sins

You understand and have compassion

For the bod amongst friends

Rest in peace playboy

We all love you homie

I’ll never forget you Los

Got a good game out homie

But for that I’ll be witchu right now

Without a second thought

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 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
