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