Baby Carlos, that was me, but the moment he died, I became a LIL SLEEPY G. I was raised right from wrong, but I had a choice. This is the path I chose to go to. You fought hard with all your heart and soul. The heartache of losing me, I never wanted you to know, believe me when I say I didn't want to go. At times in your eyes, I did no wrong, and I pushed away moments when I should have been holding on. I'm begging you to please be strong, don't think about the pain with tear-filled eyes, don't sit alone, so no one hears your cries. Go home and remember me together; these disagreements and words unspoken can't go on forever. Let me be the reason that you make it through each day forgive me I never meant to leave this way. I'm omw to the golden gates where my dad waits to welcome me to Heaven; I'll be with u all 24/7. I know you are angry with hatred building up inside. Tell my homies I appreciate the tears they've cried. Big Bad East Side R.I.P Lil sleepy G. In Loving Memory shirts being worn for me, I can't believe this is how things turned out to be. Look at those I took for granted, thinking I was grown. Mom, it was us against the world now I left u all alone. The sleepless nights' grandma u waited up praying I'd go home. You had dreams for me, but this is who I chose to be. Tio, u had so many words that will forever be left unsaid, I should have listened when u told me, "Get it thru ur head." My daughter with u I didn't get enough time Daddy's Lil girl forever u will shine. Baby sister smile like the world belongs to you — Lil brothers forever and always 24/7 by ur side in all that u do. Grampa, I know I said I wasn’t afraid to die, but today as I watched u cry, I realized the hardest part would be having to say this goodbye. In your hearts is where I’ll always be. Ride or die East Side 2 1 Lil Sleepy G.
