Uh-huh, yeah
Had to do this one
One time
Hello, death, it seems that we meet again
You keep takin' friends that I'll never see again
I guess they gotta leave, but if we pretend that they never left
Well, we gon' see 'em then
Never leave our heart, never leave our thoughts
As time goes by, they'll never be forgot
Life goes on, though I wish that they was there
Shit like this never gonna seem fair, yeah
So can I have a moment of silence
For anyone who's gone from the coldness of violence?
And I know you wanna see me go to college
But I'm sorry, I don't think that I'ma make it
Because this world is mine for the takin'
So when I get famous, they gon' know what yo' name is
And no one understand what the pain is
And how the blood run numb where my veins is
I'd like to thank you 'cause you made me a man
Told me to never let it go, so I'm takin' a stand
Always in the crowd when I played in the band
Your grandson is everything I say that I am
And maybe I am a little bit over my head
But I'm feelin' so alone tryna cope with your death
Holdin' my breath, wishin' I had one more day
Wishin' you could be there when I graduate
Uh, and it's sad to say that no one in this room understand me
I know you had to leave, so rest in peace
But please, can you watch over Nanny?
'Cause she loved you, and I love you
All the prayers I'm sayin' may bug you
But I'm just checkin' in on what you up to
So, how they treatin' you up there?
Too stubborn for a cane, way too cool
Sleepin' at yo' house, walkin' me to school
Thought I was a fool when my grades started slippin'
When I played ball, you was always in admission
You loved me more than I've been loved before
And that's a type of thing that everyone ignores
But not me, you got me, always and forever, Poppy
Time goes by, goin' without you
Hope you know I've been thinkin' about you
And I know, I know, I know
I know that they took you from your home
But you're in my heart, so I'm never gonna be alone
Time goes by, goin' without you
Hope you know I've been thinkin' about you
And I know, I know, I know
I know that they took you from your home
But you're in my heart, so I'm never gonna be alone
