[Intro]
 Uh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah
 (This one goes out)
 (To all the lost loved ones)
 (That's right)
 No ooohh, no, no
 (Throw your hands in the air)
 No oh oh oh oh oh

 We were like soldiers, shoulder to shoulder
 Back to back against the wall
 Always there to catch me if I would fall
 If I was in trouble, when you was in trouble
 Never gave a [bad word] if I was wrong or right
 Never backed down if we had a fight

 [1] - Now you've gone away
 Always thought that you'd be here to stay
 See you on the other side
 We will ride again

 [2] - We would ride like the wind
 On the stairways of sin
 I can't believe all the wrong would turn
 Now that you're gone, how can I go on?
 You were a rose in a concrete world

 No, no no no
 No no no no no no no

 Ghetto to ghetto
 It's the meadow to meadow
 Tryin' to survive day to day
 Livin' crazy was the only way
 You were my strength when I was weak
 Young and gifted, you were unique
 You were far too good for this world, oh

 [Break it down]
 Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
 Oh oh oh oh oh
 Oh oh no no no no no
 No no no no
 La la la la la
