A augmentedA message to God

Verse :

G# minorG#m
Since you finishin' 'em early, what posessed you to start him?
G# minorG#m
We made a vow later we'll regret 'til death do us part
D#mD#m
Lord
I thought we was made for each other
D#mD#m
You shouldn't connect those, made to be taken away from each other
  G# minorG#m
Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was
G# minorG#m
I'll never last, 'cause my better half is up there with you
     D#mD#m
You knew what you was doin' when you made us; so with all due respect
D#mD#m
You coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him
G# minorG#m
He can take the game with him, 'cause he defines the word
G# minorG#m
The one who puts the G+G in it, who you think put me in it?
  D#mD#m
I'm feelin like my whole world is blinded wonderin' why
D#mD#m
Cryin', pourin' out my heart, pourin' out liquor behind it
G# minorG#m
We fought like brothers, somethin' we never should do
G# minorG#m
We coulda used time spent arguin tellin' the truth
    D#mD#m
He had talent too
I had plans on watchin' him grow
D#mD#m
Don't know what hurts more seein' him leave, or watchin him go

Bridge:

  G# minorG#m
If you wonder why (why I live my life)
  D#mD#m
The way that I do ('cause I got to get this money)
  G# minorG#m
So don't worry about me (don't worry, don't worry worry)
     D#mD#m
I'm just hustlin' everyday, runnin this race, makin this paper


Verse 2:

G# minorG#m
You'se a soldier, you're probably packin heat up there
G# minorG#m
Met up with homies from the street, and got deep up there
  D#mD#m
If you only knew the way I felt before they ruined the crew
D#mD#m
I thought I learned from Eazy, now I'm goin through it with you
G# minorG#m
We lost a thug, a son, and a father
G# minorG#m
I spoke to your son, the other day, and told him Uncle Dre got him
D#mD#m
The Lord must be accidentally pulling your file
D#mD#m
Cause I'm still paging you, 911, straight in denial
G# minorG#m
Prayin' you get it, but no man can choose the card he was dealt
G# minorG#m
You either quit, or you gon' play 'em like you get it
D#mD#m
I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin a poker face
D#mD#m
To straight breakin down and showin' all emotions
G# minorG#m
I'm anxious to believe in real G's don't cry
G# minorG#m
If that's the truth, then I'm realizin I ain't no gangsta
D#mD#m
It's just not me, but you know I'mma always ride wit you
D#mD#m
I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died wit' you
