[Chorus]
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, ayo, Kato✦ (We miss you, Kato)✦
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends (We miss you, Kato)✦
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, ayo, Kato✦ (We miss you, Kato)✦
[Verse 2: DMX]
Ayo, K', let me kick it with you for a minute✦ (Yeah)
There was things left unsaid,✦ dog, we wasn't finished
Never✦ got to say thank you for being a friend
Dogs for life, and you rode to the end
Held dog down, didn't let a day go by
Every✦ time dog came to the Chi (What?)
I was good, trips out to Phoenix✦ with the scrambler squad
Now I come back to Phoenix✦ and like, "Damn, it's hard"
To accept✦ the fact (Uh) that you won't be coming✦ back (Uh)
But I hope you coming✦ back (Uh) 'cause I won't accept✦ the fact
When you came to New York, you had to come to the crib
And vice-versa (Yeah), that's just how we did
Remote✦ control cars (What), we would race all day
It was adventure, we would chase our day (Yeah)
So I'm not gonna✦ say goodbye my nigga✦ (Uh-uh)
Instead I would rather✦ (Rather)✦
Focus on the time we spent together, that's what matters
[Chorus]
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, ayo, Kato✦ (We miss you, Kato)✦
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends (We miss you, Kato)✦
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, ayo, Kato✦ (We miss you, Kato)✦
[Verse 3: DMX]
I need you to save me a spot, next to you and the Lord (Aight)
I don't know when I'm coming,✦ but keep checking the door (Aight)
But while I'm here, knock on wood
I'll make sure your kids remember who their father✦ was and Val is good (Aight)
Understood how real niggas move
We don't talk, but you gon' always✦ have family✦ in New York, believe that (Yeah)
From where you at you can see that
We dogs for life and to death and I mean that (Vato)✦
[Chorus]
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, ayo, Kato✦ (We miss you, Kato)✦
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends (We miss you, Kato)✦
Things I do for my friends
We miss you, ayo, Kato✦ (We miss you, Kato)✦
[Outro: DMX, Magic & Val, Val]
Yo, "Where the Hood At" is banging right now, man
That was your favorite joint, ya know what I mean?
We miss you, Kato✦
It's going just like we thought it would, baby✦
We miss you, Kato✦ (Yeah)
We miss you, Kato✦
I'll always✦ love you, K'
