[Intro: Dogmatic]
It was just like yesterday, damn
It was me, Malik, Khalil, L, the twins ([?])
Meryl, Greg, all my dawgs
Them was the days of the Real N***as, you know
But all the Real N***as are gone, fuck!
Make you wonder what the fuck happened, ya know

[Verse 1: Dogmatic]
I remember when I was 10 I had this best friend
And everything we did, we did together, I mean everything we did!
From smacking to girls in the ass in class 'till fighing after school ends
All the way from safety patrol to even rapping and having kids
And all he ever did was take care of his and make music
And I all I ever did was take what I had and used it
Then came 11th grade, we was making records plus gaining fame
But them jealous n***as mane killed my dog out of pure hate
Lemme tell you how it happened, we was making moves, signing contracts
And the day of celebration was the same day death snatched him
Now ain't this a bitch, they took a n***a's life over a trick
But I ain't there yet so until I die n***as 'bout to eat shit
I never will forget, never will I stop, never will I quit
'Cause Khalil was the shit, they might've took his body but his spirit still lives
Khalil was the shit, might've took his body but his spirit still lives
Khalil was the shit, might've took his body but his spirit still lives
[Chorus x2: Dogmatic]
Tell me why oh why, why all the Real N***as have to die?
Tell me why, why oh why, why all the Real N***as must say goodbye

[Over Chorus: Dogmatic]
Why do all the Real N***as have to go?! Damn!
This world is desaturated, with that fake shit!
Believe that!
If it's any n***a that would've rolled for me, it would've been my n***a!
My Real N***as!
The world is fucked up!

[Verse 2: Proof (as Bugz)]
Can I get a minute of your time? (Time) (Yeah)
Let me tell you what's on my mind (Mind)
Take it back to '99 (Nine)
Before D12 was signed (Signed)
"Ayo what up P!" "What up Bugz, what up B?"
"Nothing, love, what up cuz!"
"They said they gon' sign us n***as
Get behind us n***a, we shining n***a
So tell the fake to stay well awake
We got Hell to make and go celebrate"
"YEAH!" "Peace out!" "PEACE OUT!"
They pulled a piece out, the streets shout
"No don't shoot!"
I want you tell my dreams are death, huh Proof
They got my dog, shot my dog
Come [?] box my dog
"And why are me and Bizzy sorry we ain't visit?
Been on shit lately, ladies out here hate me"
"That ain't no excuse" "It's hard being Proof"
"La Peace and Lo-Key dissed you, that ain't cool!"
"My back's against the wall, my [?] is my dog"
"You the dopest n***a rapping against them all!"
"Truth to the game, rules to the game
[?], you'd do the same"
"FUCK THAT!" "I ain't gon' touch that
If you was here we would crush rap"
"Getting tatted on your arm, back when you bomb
Who the first to swing when the gats are drawn?"
"Me? You?" "That's it!"
"Devil's Night album" "CLASSIC!"
"Living here without you is a nightmare"
"Don't worry my n***a, I'm right here!"
[Chorus x2: Dogmatic]
Tell me why oh why, why all the Real N***as have to die?
Tell me why, why oh why, why all the Real N***as must say goodbye

[Over Chorus: Proof]
Yeah n***a!
God took my dog! Broke my heart!
Stopped my shine! Killed my soul!
For all my n***as that pour out liqour fo'
For that thug shit that you did, it weren't [really no?] huh?!
[?] continues, you gon' die for this unconditonal love!
You gon' SMOTHER in these streets!
I'm gonna bring DRAMA to your life!
For what you done to me!
For what DID to me! For the way that you abused my love!
