And the question remains, why was he gunned down in the streets of Los Angeles and who was responsible?
Im feelin some type of way
Can somebody explain why? 
Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain
I gotta make it on my own, like whos gon hold me down, down 
Your life was so profound, cant nobody wear your crown
They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
Its a misery to me, Ill give anything to know who shot ya
And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
Somebody knows
We were havin a good time up in the party
Even though we wasnt really speakin at the time
And we never got to have a conversation
That still weighs heavy on my mind
Busy ignorin each other
We didnt know if we be over
In just a matter of time 
I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind
And I still dont have the answers even after all this time
Im feelin some type of way
Can somebody explain why? 
Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain
I gotta make it on my own, like whos gon hold me down, down 
Your life was so profound, cant nobody wear your crown
They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
Its a misery to me, Ill give anything to know who shot ya
And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
Somebody knows
Cant believe its been this long
Twenty years have come and gone
There is so much we need to know 
And until I get some kind of resolution
I cannot choose to let go 
No help from the police
So we hang on to the memories
Whoever did it better stay low-key
Cause its hard to creep them Brooklyn streets
I felt so helpless and frustrated and I damn near lost my mind 
And I still dont have the answers even after all this time
Im feelin some type of way
Can somebody explain why? 
Why they took your life away and left filled with some much pain
I gotta make it on my own, like whos gon hold me down, down 
Your life was so profound, cant nobody wear your crown
They took your life in vain but your memories still remain
Its a misery to me, Ill give anything to know who shot ya
And I swear to god I know somebody knows who shot ya
Somebody knows
I dont even know where to start and its very hard to address it
A conversation still that most niggas dont want to mess with
Continue his blessings I send to you and Mama Wallace
To this day I carry a picture of BIG in my wallet
While I give you these bars, I try not to lose my composure
It has been twenty years and yes you still lookin for closure
Still cant try over bein a baby, not havin my father
My heart continues to go after CJ and Tyanna
Tryna avoid truckin bout it, not to revisit the drama
Let me remind the shooter that the most gangster nigga is karma
Big Poppa, yes, we will rep your legacy proper
And now downtown to provide the answers in your honor
Frank and Pac, I hope yall had the chance to talk in heaven fellas
About the truth that really led to why yall both aint here to tell us
Yall probably up there talkin about who really fuckin did it
Maybe you a sinners should sign with some honest answers in it
I walk to Tillery park where we use to smoke with Flex and
Even after all this time, we could never fully accept it
From Western house Brooklyn to bein one of the great
To the last time we linked up, I shed a tear at your wake
The Notorious B.I.G. was silenced forever, and Los Angeles police are searching for his killer
