How long will they mourn me
  Yeah! This for my nigga Kato
  It's still on nigga
  Thug Life, Thugs for life
  Ha Ha yeah, how long will they mourn me
  Yeah nigga
  2Pac in this muthafucka
    [Tupac]
    All my homies drinking liquor
  Tears in everybody's eyes
  Niggas cried to mourn a homies homicide
  But I can't cry
  instead I'm just a shoulder
  Damn, why they take another soldier
  I load my clip before my eyes blurry, don't worry
  I'll get them suckas back before your buried (shit)
  Retaliate and pull a 187
  do real niggas get to go to heaven ?
  How long will they mourn me, bury me a muthafuckin 'G'
  Bitch don't wanna die
  then don't fuck with me
  It's kinda hard to be optimistic
  When your homies lying dead on the pavement twisted
  Y'all don't hear me doe, I'm trying hard to make amends
  But I'm losing all my muthafuckin friends (damn)
  They should've shot me when I was born
  Now I'm trapped in the muthafuckin' storm
  How long will they mourn me ?
    [Chorus]
    I wish it would have been another
  How long will they mourn me
  How long will they mourn my brother
  (Got them niggas all dead and shit)
  How long will they mourn me
  I wish it would have been another
  (Nate Dogg)
  How long will they mourn me
  How long will they mourn my brother
  (Gotta keep this shit goin' on, Yo Syke)
    [Syke]
    How long will they mourn me
  Every muthafuckin' day homie
  You stayed down when tha other niggas didn't know me
  From my heart to the trigga you my fuckin' nigga
  And things won't be the same without ya nigga
  I remember kickin' back, you wanted to lack
  And goin' half on a muthafuckin' hundred sack
  Smokin' blunt after blunt and steady drinkin'
  Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin'
  Tell me Lord, why you take big Kato ?
  So confused not knowing which way to go
  I'm goin crazy and runnin' out of fuckin' time
  I can't take it, I'm losin' my fuckin' mind
  So day after day
  ride after ride
  We'll hook up on the other side
  Watch over your family and your newborn
  Till we meet again homie
  How long will they mourn me ?
    [Chorus]
    I wish it would have been another
  (Yo Kato)
  How long will they mourn me
  (It's still on nigga)
  How long will they mourn my brother
  How long will they mourn me
  I wish it would have been another
  (Yeah)
  How long will they mourn me
  How long will they mourn my brother
  (Rated R, Double Jeopardy, Mack 10)
    [Rated R]
    Damn a nigga tired of feeling sad
  I'm tired of putting in work
  I'm tired of cryin while watching my homies leave the earth
  I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt
  And my peoples'll be mournin'
  When they get a call from the coroner
  All niggas can say is that's fucked up
  And get tossed up
  Reminiscing how we grew up (my nigga)
  Rest and love to my nigga Kato
  See you in the crossroads real soon
  For now let me pour out some brew
  I'll be always thinkin' of ya homie
  Rest in peace
  How long will they mourn me ?
    Ya know life's a fuckin' trip
  And everybody gotta go
  But why the fuck it have to be my nigga Kato
  Another nigga fell victim to the chrome
  It's enough to make you crazy
  It's fuckin' with my dome
  Ya only live once on this earth
  A nigga had it bad, since the day of my mutahfuckin' birth
  But niggas say they down and they always be my homie
  But when a nigga gone
  How long will ya mourn me ?
    [Chorus]
    Yeah!
  I wish it would have been another
  (Mack 10 in this muthafucka)
  Yeah, how long will ya mourn me
  How long will ya mourn my bother
  (Thug Life boy, Nate blowin' that shit,
  Nate Dogg do that shit nigga)
  I wish it would have been another
  Yeah! How long will ya mourn me
  How long will ya mourn my brother
  (This for my nigga Kato and all his kids)
  How long will ya mourn me
  I wish it would have been another
  How long will ya mourn my brother
