Composed by ：Nasir Jones /Leshan Lewis /Clifford Peacock /Bernard Edwards /Nile Rodgers

Can we please have a moment of silence

Silence silence

That's for my n***as doin'years in

Confinement

And for my soldiers who passed over

No longer living

That couldn't run whenever the reaper

Came to get 'em

Can we please pour out some liquor

Some liquor some liquor

Symobolizin'let's take in time

To consider that

Though our thugs ain't here

The love is here

And we gon'rep 'til slugs kill us here

This for my dawgs stuck

In the struggle tryin'to gain

Smokin'trauma sniffin'

Ra while sellin'c*****e

Trapped in the game not knowin'

How to stop and get by

To live it alive so instead they

Live it to die

Can we please have a moment of peace

Moment of peace moment

For every G that fell for his

Flag in the streets

Bloodin'and thuggin'

Folkin'and lokin'

Crypin'and creepin'

Latin and kingin'

Or just for poor righteous teachin'

As days comes and nights falls

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We'll still mourn

While wishin'y'all were home

Y'all were home

As days comes and nights falls

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We'll still mourn

While wishin'y'all were home

Y'all were home

Yeah and can we have another

Moment of silence silence silence

For brothers who died from black-on-black

Violence

From here to the Dark Continent

Were rebels sell diamonds

To clients allover the world

Got little Black girls dyin'

And can we please pour some more liquors

More liquors more liquors

For Will Bokeem Bar Pappy my n***as

Here's another Warrior

Song from Nasty and Quan

It's to him I pass the baton

To carry this on

Street's Disciple salute

To those who's gone with bullets

And I promise through rhymin'

Quan gon'rep his life to the fullest

And can we please have a moment of truth

Moment of truth

Moment of truth

For soldiers and troops away

With helmets and boots

And families back home who pray

They make it home safe

Hopin'that they don't get hit

With a stray or missiles

This is just a moment

To let you all know that we miss you

Mommy I'm still here wishin'

I was there with you

Let's take 'em home

As days comes and nights falls

For the rest of our lifes we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We'll still mourn

While wishin'y'all were home

Y'all were home

As days comes and nights falls

For the rest of our lifes we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We'll still mourn

While wishin'y'all were home

Y'all were home

And can we please have a moment to mourn

Moment to mourn

For Pac Biggie and Pun

'Cause through us they live on

Jam Master Jay Freaky Ty and Aliyah

Big L and Left Eye when we

Die we wish to see ya

Can we please have a moment for children

Moment for children

Who got raped or murdered

Or trapped in the system

Who never knew their father

Never learned to dream

But was guided by drug dealers

Killers and crack fiends

For single mothers that's forced

To play mom and dad

Bustin'her a*s to give her

Kids s**t she never had

For my n***as in the pen hopin'

Rhymes'll get 'em signed

So when released they can say

Bye to a life of crime

For every mother that held a

Son in the street bleedin'

Cryin'a song of sorrow to dark

And deep for speakin'

Just a moment outside the day

To day struggle

To let the ones we really care

About know that we love 'em

As days comes and nights falls

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We'll still mourn

While wishin'y'all were home

Y'all were home

As days comes and nights falls

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all

And even though life must go on

We'll still mourn

While wishin'y'all were home

Y'all were home
