"Tiffany"
  by PnutButta


6:00 pm September 11 2007
playin Alicia Keys "Troubles"

I just got the call,
A voice says, Hey Roe girl...pauses... says, i'm goin through it
I say tell me what it is best friend
tell me & we'll get through it
Tiffany & her man got killed last night while they were sitting on their porch outside
People sayin it was the bloods that did the drive by
Oh my god the phone dropped to my shoulder
I just seen her two weeks ago around the corner
yeah, i heard two people got killed just around the corner
that shit is crazy ...
I'm in mouring tryin to find the words to say...
i went to the funeral but did not cry until i saw those precious babies
with tears in their eyes a reflection of their mother
i watched them embrace their familiy desperatly seeking comfort in one another
the gospel played and the photos on the screen gave only a slight glimpse into the person that she was
But now she rest with the angels watching us from above
I knew she saw my grief and the tears roll down my cheeks behind my oversized shades
I know that soon justice will be paid
I hope they catch those mutha***** who shot u down in front ya house
I hope they throw them under the jail and never let them out
I hope that their Karma bites them in the ass and they never enjoy a good nights rest
they should all get Life in prison or death sentences would also be fit
they should know what pain they caused and whose mama they messed with
Tiff I hope Neissa, Damier and ya lil one will rise above all this...
I know you got ya wings protecting them
oh how I wish things could be different like back when we rolled up & burned a L together, or i would drop by to see what was up or whatever,remeber the times we were dancing in the club, no matter what ya situation you always showed this sistah love
you cool as hell mami and i know you had a hard way
Please rest in peace
We'll see you again someday

THEIR LIVES HAVE JUST BEGUN, BUT I PRAY THAT THEE MOST HIGH GUIDES AND PROTECTS THEM AS THEY TRAVEL. THIS PIECE IS NOT ABOUT CRAFTSMANSHIP OR BEAUTY OF EXPRESSION, BUT THE BEAUTY IN WHICH YOU DELIVERED THE SPIRIT THRU THIS IS TOUCHING, AS YOU WROTE THIS, NOT WITH INK, B UT WITH THE TEARS OF YOUR SOUL.....PEACE BLAS
