Lyrics A 'Yo Kato - DMX

Uh, this go out to my dog Kato
Rest in peace, baby
He's the kingpin

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

Started off two dogs with the same goal
Nothing but two dogs walkin' the same road
Two different cultures but had the same heart
Enjoyed seeing the light but lived in the dark

5th Avenue, bumped heads in the parking lot
Was a quite brother, didn't like to bark a lot
Came direct, when he came, gave respect
So I gave respect, we shared the same respect

To name regret, in our own circles, what?
Two brothers with good hearts but if you start
Two brothers that'll hurt you
Know how that dirt do, hittin' four corners
Arf, arf, arf, arf, right back upon us

God tried to warn us but sometimes we don't see
When I first heard, I'm like, "This can't be
Y'all niggaz is bugging
Got the wrong information or something
Please, tell me that these niggaz is frontin'"
God know

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

A'yo K, let me kick it wid you for a minute
There was things left unsaid, dog, we wasn't finished
Never got to say, thank you for being a friend
Dogs for life and you rode to the end

Held dog down, didn't let a day go by
Every time dog came to the shy
I was good, trips our to Phoenix, with the scrambler squad
Now, I come back to Phoenix and like, "Damn it's hard"

To accept the fact, that you won't be coming back
But I hope you coming back, 'cos won't accept the fact
When you came to New York, you had to come to the crib
And vice-versa, thats just how we did

Remote control cars, what? We would race all day
It was adventure, we would chase our day
So, I'm not gonna say goodbye, my nigga
Instead, I would rather focus on the time we spent together
That's what matters

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

Need you to save me a spot, next to you and the Lord
I don't know when I'm coming but keep checking the door
But while I'm here, knock on wood, I'll make sure
Your kids remember who their father was and Val is good

Understood how real niggaz move?
We don't part, but ya gonna always have family in New York
Believe that, where you at? You can see that
We dogs for life and to death and I mean that, Vato

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, a'yo Kato

Yo, where the hood at is banging right now, man
That was your favorite choice, ya know what I mean?
We miss you, Kato

It's going just like we thought it would, baby
We miss you, Kato, aight
We miss you, Kato

I'll always love you K
