Remember tha Soulja (Gemini)

(RIP to my 2 brothers... Pac 6/16/71 Brian 6/15/78)

Misquoted, misunderstood
for as long as I can remember
But you persevered and stayed true
from January to December
Of course they are going to pass judgement
and point fingers whenever they can
Not everyone can understand the troubles
and struggles of a young black man
But above and throughout
the sun always shined on you
Allah understood and you kept on
doing your think, for you knew this to be true.
You always wondered if there was
a heaven for a "G"
Hopefully your journey to the afterlife
has satisfied your curiosity
I have you honor and respect
because I knew you cared about me
I lit up and pumped my fist
whenever you blazed a track with your creativity
I understood and related to you
because I too have had a life filled with stress
The ones who hated and couldn't relate
were in denial and intimidated by your REALNESS
They had never seen a handsome, from-the-gutter thug
with so much intelligence and class
And no matter what you refused
to kiss anyone's ass.
I love and respect you and the
Shakur legacy more as I grow oldah
And as long as I live, I will "always"
Remember Tha Soulja!!
