"Can You Hear Me" lyrics

[Jasmin Lopez:]
'Cause though I ain't with you, know that I miss you, somehow I carry on
I can still picture, when I was with you like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song to my niggas laid down
To my niggas laid down
Can you hear me? I know you hear me

[Fabolous:]
Now we was once two niggas of the same kind
Quick to holler at a bitch with the same lines
Quick to draw on a nigga with the same "nines"
But at the same time we was on some different shit
'Cause you was with a bitch that I beg to differ with
I told, "You sniff a bit," and you could get a whiff of it
But you kept a closed nose when it came to those hoes
And I'm your nigga. So, I tried to smell 'em wrong for you
Wasn't there to take the 4-4 long for you. But if you hear me
I dedicate this song for you. He was setup in a stick-up
By a girl he used to pick up
On the upper west side
I used to help him chop a brick up
They found him in his pickup
Pants down and dick up
Leanin with one in his head
And one in his chest
One of the best at this hustling shit
But his downfall was that he put his trust in a bitch and it's fucked up

[Jasmin Lopez:]
'Cause though I ain't with you, know that I miss you, somehow I carry on
I can still picture, when I was with you like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song to my niggas laid down
To my niggas laid down
Can you hear me? I know you hear me

[Fabolous:]
I remember selling three bricks of raw powder
Turn my man into a star in 24 hours
He didn't care spent the money in like 4 hours
On a Benz with like 400 and Horsepower
And a chain that had Christ on it
A Rollie with a lot of "ice" on it
A pinky ring with a price on it
When he come around it's likely that he blunted
With a pretty lady in them Nikes that you wanted
It's well known he kept it on his hip like a cell phone
If you speak with him you can pick up on his jail tone
He used to say he wasn't going back without blowing back
And knowing black, I wouldn't put it past him
The Ds would harass him, 'til he finally blacked out
They told my nigga to freeze, but he still backed out
Shots fired 'til his trigger finger got tired
All the newspapers said was 'Another Nigga Dead'
And it's fucked up

[Jasmin Lopez:]
'Cause though I ain't with you, know that I miss you, somehow I carry on
I can still picture, when I was with you like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song to my niggas laid down
To my niggas laid down
Can you hear me? I know you hear me

[Fabolous:]
You can catch me in a cherry-red 8-50
Nice ass, great titties
Face pretty
Everybody know that she date Smitty
A big-time dealer that's doing a state bid-dy
Who did more than his share of dirt in the world
Enough to make a nigga think about hurting his girl
So he used to tell his queen to stay to the castle
Away from the hassle
To the day that he pass through
There's some enemies he might have who may wanna blast you
She stayed for a few years
That's until a few pairs
Convinced her to come and hang out around New Year's
It's been awhile
You can see it in her smile
And she ran into her man's co-defendant in the trial
Who started going on about how he moving on
About running with them same niggas Smitty had warned about
She slid off
Told her girl, she had to drop her kid off
They found her in the parking lot, somebody blew her lid off
And it's fucked up

[Jasmin Lopez:]
'Cause though I ain't with you, know that I miss you, somehow I carry on
I can still picture, when I was with you like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song to my niggas laid down
To my niggas laid down
Can you hear me? I know you hear me

'Cause though I ain't with you, know that I miss you, somehow I carry on
I can still picture, when I was with you like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song to my niggas laid down
To my niggas laid down
Can you hear me? I know you hear me
