That´s sad he was so young. :(

all4loveandbelieve · May 2011

I don't listen to his music, I don't know much about this rapper. I know to be dead at 23 too way too soon. May he rest in peace. I read the post before mine it said he was shot? Maybe he was mixed up in some sort of bad, very bad situation.. Like I said I never followed him, so I do not know how he could have been shot. RIP.. blessings.

Cali Swag District- Where You Are Lyrics

Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
Well it’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at

I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Everywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

Answer this…
Could it be I should have came back in an orderly fashion
girl I’m just asking
What happened to the way that we used to be?
Up late at night counting stars just you and me
Now I’m the star you feeling like you losin me
But I won’t let you go, you don’t know what you do to me
Like my religion you always stay true to me
That’s money over women, but you got glued to me
I just want you back to light rooms with me
And in the back of my mind, jump a broom with me
Nah wait it’s too soon for me
I just want some space in your heart, is there room for me?

Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
Well it’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at

I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Everywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

[ Lyrics from http://www.songonlyrics.com/cali-swag-d ... are-lyrics ]

Aye now that I’m gone I gotta testify
I wanna bee with you and I cannot lie
Looking at my phone another text inside
Saying how you miss me like I just passed by
Now I’m out on the road like the Jackson 5
Say you happy for the kid, but when I’m gone you crying
when I reply you get that high
Like that’s my swag girl I’m just that fly
But you gon hold me down like gravitation
Cause back at home we was passed the dating
Now I want to see your face and I passed the waiting
Thinking bout a ring got the pastor waiting

Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
Well it’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at

I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Everywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

It’s 3rd back again
and I need you baby like oxygen
If I start from 10 telling you how I feel
By the time I get to one you would know that it’s real
10 is your smile I ain’t seen in a while
9 you’re all mines and I love your sign
8 is no debate me and you look great
and 7 keep letting me know to have faith
6 is a kiss that I leave on ya cheek
5 no lies and I put it on a beat
4 so much more that we got to see
3 you just can’t be without me
2 me and you always have a ball
1 I’m gon call so don’t ask at all

Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
Well it’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at

I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
I wanna wanna be where you are
oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Everywhere you are
oh oh ohhhhhhhhh

[Cali Swag District- Where You Are Lyrics]

Cali Swag District Rapper M-Bone Killed In Drive-By Shooting
Bone, 22, died of two gunshot wounds to the head in his hometown of Inglewood, California.[/b]

By Rob Markman
Early Monday (May 16) morning hip-hop fans were stunned by the news that Cali Swag District member M-Bone died Sunday night, the victim of a drive-by shooting.

Bone, born Montae Talbert, was one-fourth of the group that rose to fame with their 2010 single "Teach Me How to Dougie." Cali Swag frontman C-Smoove tweeted, "Ma life changed drastically in the blink of an eye. rip mbone," early Monday morning.

Inglewood Police Department Homicide Sgt. Brian Spencer confirmed to MTV News that the 22-year-old Bone died of two gunshot wounds to the head in his hometown of Inglewood, California.

At about 10:30 p.m. PT Sunday night, police were called to the 400 block of North La Brea in Inglewood. When police arrived on the scene, they found Talbert seated in the driver's seat of a black unspecified vehicle with at least two gunshot wounds to the head. Paramedics then took him to a local hospital where Talbert eventually succumbed to his injuries.

Witness accounts confirm that the rapper was seated in his car when the gunmen pulled alongside him in a separate vehicle and let off at least two rounds. The suspects fled northbound on La Brea.

Signed to Capitol Records, Cali Swag District made their name with the platinum dance hit "Teach Me How to Dougie," an ode to the dance popularized by hip-hop legend Doug E. Fresh. The record's remix featured Jermaine Dupri, B.o.B, Bow Wow and Red Cafe, and their debut album, The Kickback, is slated for a 2011 release.

The Inglewood Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward and call its homicide division at (310) 412-5246 or its 24-hour anonymous hotline number, (888) 41 CRIME, or (888) 412-7463.
