Tina Arena - Soul Mate No.9 (Single Version) lyrics

What up twin

Im just sittin back man thinking about all the good times we had

Theres a lot of things been going on since you been gone

I just thought it was time for me to sit down and write you a letter

You know what I am sayin, a letter from the heart

Yo, yo

Before I take a shot, I always make a toast to the sky

Blow somesmoke in the air so we both can get high

At night I hold my rosarys tight and hope to get by

Close my eyes and ask the lord why he chose you to die

Though, I believe in God, I chose my own road cause of pride

I dont abide to no bible cause most of them lie

Lifes like a roller coaster ride, just try to hold on and drive

Its all about surviving, one day we all gonna die

I tried to hide all these feelings I was holding inside

Cause they always told me thugs aint suppose to cry

And show their emotional side

But, it soaked up my eyes

Cause I never had nobody really close to me die

Couldnt understand it at first, so how do this work

You were just here full of cheer, now I'm following your hearse

Its outta this earth, I felt like I was damn with a curse

Had to light candle in church to handle the hurt

In retrospect, I always respect the man that you were

A man of your word that always put his family first

With talent superb all you wanted was to be heard

And You got your chance all of your fans are proud of your work

You made it outta of the dirt and got on top of the world

But you still stood in the hood with your son and to little girls

You in iced out chains, your wife was rockin the pearls

You lived a ghetto fabulous life, the Bronx was your borough

And when the fame came you never changed. You kept it so thorough

We did the same thing, poppin champagne to we earled

You shocked the world, twin, every time you rapped on a track

You had cats like How this fat dude could flow like that?

Is he black? Is he packin the mack in the back of the acc?

The only Spanish rapper to snatch up a platinum plaque

Thats a fact. Its been written in stones, from here to Rome

When it comes to spittin them poems. You sit on the throne

I wish you was home. Life is so different alone

Spoke to Liza and the kids, little Chris is so grown

Hes your own spittin image. Its just like you were cloned

You know I treasure Manda and Sesha, like they were my own

Lizas still tryin to get it together

She had your back through the stormy weather

For that, I will never forget her

Times are tougher then leather

As for me, things could be better

I needed to clear my head up

Thats why I had to write you this letter

Since you been gone, Joes been stronger then ever, still with Laurena

How can he go to bed knowing hes stealin your cheddar?

About a mil or better. To me hes as real as pleather

We built this together. Still, in all he had me set up

I should of known better

I let it ride for too long

Let it slide for too long

Let it hide for too long

Now I am tryin to move on

Without tryin to do wrong

but my pride is too strong

Im a ride through the storm

With a hundred troops strong

No bullet-proofs on

Glocks cocked and locked and ready to shoot form

Im just tryin to put you on twin, to whats going on

A lot of back stabbin since you been gone

A lot of whack rappin comin from the so-called Don

A lot of black ballin happenin. No matter twin, I'm still going strong

Tonys still singin songs, tryin to swing it along

Hes no longer foundation, sayin Joe put him on

Hes dead wrong

Armeggedion still aint on

Prospect- back in the projects, livin with moms

Words born

Remys the realist, she know what the deal is

feelin like there is still a chance wishin you could come and heal us

But the thrill is gone, I'm no longer part of that

Im back where I started at

Thats where my heart is at

Cause God knows how hard I scrap

To try to keep it from this

I been a team player, he chose to play at his own risk

Sunkiss still comes around, we still get down

We puff a pound whenever Chuck and C come into town

Toom is illin, hes down in Orlando makin a killin

Buildin his own army with soldiers, ready and willin

Me and Seis still be chillin

Hes fine as well

Still rhymin, still grindin, only time will tell

Gillys stressed out, tryin to figure out his next route

Feelin left out

No more T.S, he checked out

Xed out his tattoos , but he still got you

B is still with me. Full A Clips our old school crew

He stayed true, always been the coolest nigga we knew

Boobys up in the videos with you know who

You was the glue to the puzzle, the key to the struggle

The reason I even chose to be in this hustle

Twin, I love you

No matter what or who tries to judge you

Theres nothing worst than family and friends tryin to fuck you

I stuck through it all, and this is what it all lead up to

Its the closest ones to you that will stick it in and cut you

So much for being humble. I'm comin through with the shovels

Tombstones and all, and turn the hard rocks to rubble

On the double, so you can be at peace with your troubles

Cause even after death, you stress from all these scuffles

Guzzle the liquor, snuffing walls till theres blood on my knuckles

Watchin the devil chuckle, hopin I break down and buckle

In this jungle, its all about survival of the fittest

Though you died, you never rid us

Twin your still alive in spirit. I can feel it

I know your up in heaven right now

Hangin out in thugs mansion. You and Pac, whilin out

Livin the kings lifestyle, with platinum wings iced out

Bet you and Biggie in the Angels lounge, poppin Crystal

Getting high with Freaky Tah, lightin up white owls

Thuggin it out with Big L, rollin dice on the clouds

Aaliyah, smilin down. Left Eye is still type wild

Buggin out, partyin, every bodys up in the house

You kickin freestyles while Master J hypes up the crowd

Aint no fights breakin out, its all love right now

Im just writing down how I feel hopin you hear me

Puttin my heart and soul in it, so you can see it all clearly

I hold you dearly in my thoughts cause like you theres no other

Sincerely Yours, Cuban Link, your twin your brother

Baby I love you!

[Outro]

I still got your back twin

Your brothers here

You even got your own day up in the Bronx

We on top of the world

Yeah I'm a ride with you baby

Ill always ride with you til the day I die

Thats my word
