Текст песни As Long As I'm Alive - Planet Asia

Yeah, this to all the people in my life
That's restin' in peace, y'know what I'm sayin'?
Here to let y'all know that y'all give me inspiration
To do what I do and I ain't never gon' forget you, y'know what I'm sayin'?
For as long as I'm alive

For all my peoples gone from nine to five
As long as I'm alive my niggaz we gon' be strong
Now peep the song, the streets is gone, to each his own
From money spent to every song that I was featured on

It's for the block and we gon' keep it goin'
For all my close friends gone, givin' me energy
To speak my poems, rest in peace to the God Al Woods
Kept my self-esteem high since a child in the hood

I was raised on the Westside, wildin' for goods
Same cats that used to kick it now be killin' each other
Comin' from different neighborhoods and not feelin' each other
The way they used to loud talkin', last words is nigga I'll shoot you

The streets is eighty five 'cause nowadays you might get
Popped in the back at the party tryin' to flee to survive
For all my friends that traveled to the other side
You'll be forever on my mind as long as I'm alive

(As long as I'm alive)
Tell all my homies that I'm lost in the storm
I'ma keep it movin' on
(As long as I'm alive)
You'll always have a piece of my heart
Piece of my mind and a peace of my art

(As long as I'm alive)
You shall forever be mourned
I'm thinkin' 'bout y'all every mornin'
(As long as I'm alive)
I shall never forget the good times
And all the places we went

In high school, you was my closest homey
Although from different crews, we used to chop it up
'Bout all the shit that we was into
From girls to guns and situations in our circle

And it hurts every time when I think about
The day they merked you, you left a lonely spot
Broke down when I heard it like
Damn why they have to leave the homey shot?

My fond memories are commonly remembered
Good times and in my mind it's like I speak to you spiritually
And to my favorite uncle Franklin Harper
You shall never be forgotten for as long as I'm alive and talkin'

Inside a soul darkened, due to circumstances
These past years done had some friends of mine
Who died from cancer, it's messed up never knowin' your chances
And Tammy I wish you was here

So you could see how much we been advancin'
And your management is much missed, but I know you watchin'
Rest in peace, little Ann George and Les Watson
And I'll gladly sing this song with pride

Cause all y'all forever in my heart
As long as I'm alive, you hear me?
I'll gladly sing this song with pride
'Cause all y'all forever in my heart as long as I'm alive

(As long as I'm alive)
Tell all my homies that I'm lost in the storm
I'ma keep it movin' on
(As long as I'm alive)
You'll always have a piece of my heart
Piece of my mind and a peace of my art

(As long as I'm alive)
You shall forever be mourned
I'm thinkin' 'bout y'all every mornin'
(As long as I'm alive)
I shall never forget the good times
And all the places we went

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Your memory'll live on, with me you can trust
Dust to dust and ashes to ashes
You're on my mind more for sure as time passes

Sometimes I find myself stressin', then realize at least I'm livin'
So as long as I'm alive, it's for y'all I'm reppin'
Until I'm back to the essence and if it wasn't for
Half of my peoples gone I probably wouldn't practice my profession

From all the gunfights and white chalk
Funerals wakes and white cops
Lockin' my niggaz soon as the night pops off
Nowadays gotta be strong to survive
But I be representin' my peoples as long as I'm alive

(As long as I'm alive)
Tell all my homies that I'm lost in the storm
I'ma keep it movin' on
(As long as I'm alive)
You'll always have a piece of my heart
Piece of my mind and a peace of my art

(As long as I'm alive)
You shall forever be mourned
I'm thinkin' 'bout y'all every mornin'
(As long as I'm alive)
I shall never forget the good times
And all the places we went
