Dedication

This song was dedicated to Master P's late brother, Kevin Miller.

The lyrics say:

"I really miss my homies

Even though they gone away

I know you in a better place

And I hope to see ya soon someday"

Until the death of 2Pac and Kevin Miller.

Content

On the album's edited version of the song, Master P dubbed over parts of Pimp C's lyrics in the second verse where profanity and drug references were removed with cleaner lyrics.
