Lovin You for Life
フェイス・エヴァンス & ノトーリアス・B.I.G. Lyrics

Uh, uh
Feeling the weight of my past actions

Uh, uh, uh, uh
Reflecting on the consequences of my choices

Hey
Calling out to the memories of a lost loved one

I remember sellin' three bricks of straight flour
Recalling a time of illegal drug sales

Got my man a beat down to the third power
Ensuring punishment for a fellow criminal

He didn't care, spent the money in a half hour
Showing disregard for the consequences of reckless spending

Got some fishscale, reigned on competition like a shower
Dominating the drug market with superior product

A .38, a lot of mouth was our only weapon
Facing danger with minimal means

We was kings till the D's crept in, and now I'm stressin'
Experiencing anxiety after law enforcement intervention

Gave him half my paper, told 'em "Go that route!"
Sharing resources and encouraging a chosen path

Few months, he got his brain blown out, now I'm missin' him
Mourning the loss of a friend who met a violent end

In your love (in your love)
Finding solace in the love of a significant other

That's where I'll be, my baby
Promising unwavering devotion

In my heart (oh yeah)
Keeping cherished memories close

I'll always keep you with me (not a day)
Constantly carrying the presence of the loved one

Not a day goes by (without you)
Thoughts of the loved one are ever-present

Without you on my mind
Continuously thinking about the loved one

I'll be loving you for life (I'll be loving you)
Committing to love eternally

Think about you all the time
Constantly reminiscing about the loved one

It's been a while
Reflecting on the passage of time

But I can never forget your smile
Holding onto the memory of a loved one's smile

Seems like yesterday, you were in my arms
Feeling the loss as if it were recent

I wasn't ready, ready for you to leave so soon
Expressing unpreparedness for the loved one's untimely departure

No matter what I know you're in my heart
Having certainty of the loved one's continued presence

His baby's mother, she trippin', blamin' me
Facing accusations and blame from the deceased's partner

And his older brothers understand the game it be
Finding understanding from the deceased's siblings who are familiar with the lifestyle

Kinda topsy turvy, you win some, you lose some
Recognizing the unpredictable nature of life

Damn, they lost a brother, they mother lost a son
Acknowledging the impact of the loss on the deceased's family

Fuck, why my nigga couldn't stay in N.Y.?
Questioning why the loved one couldn't remain safe in their hometown

I'm a thug, but I swear for three days I cried
Expressing vulnerability and emotional pain

I'd look in the sky and ask God why
Seeking answers and understanding from a higher power

Can't look his baby girls in the eye; damn, I'm missin' him
Feeling the absence of the loved one, particularly in relation to his children

I've been handling your death like the undertaker
Dealing with the loss and mourning in a somber manner

Keep you close to my heart, like a pacemaker
Holding the memory of the loved one dear

Damn I missin'
Expressing deep longing and longing

The way we used to kissin'
Yearning for the intimate moments shared

And you cookin', your favourite dishin'
Recalling the loved one's cooking and their favorite dishes

Fish 'n' Spaghetti
Remembering a specific meal shared

For you to die, I wasn't ready
Feeling unprepared for the loved one's death

And life after death, ain't been so fresh
Struggling to adjust to life without the loved one

B-I-G, G-I-E
Referencing the artist's stage name and iconic status

Still a motherfuckin' king of NYC
Reaffirming his influence and impact on the hip-hop scene

Period!
Asserting his statements with finality

I can't you bring you back (I can't you bring you back)
Expressing the impossibility of reviving the loved one

I had to deal with the pain
Coping with the emotional anguish

But you're not around (around)
Acknowledging the absence of the loved one

So much I wish I could say (I could say)
Feeling an abundance of unexpressed thoughts and emotions

We still got your back (we still got your back)
Offering continued support and loyalty

I put that on everythin'
Swearing on one's integrity and commitment

Never had the chance to say goodbye
Regretting the lack of opportunity to properly bid farewell

(We really miss you 'BIG')
Expressing the deep longing and sorrow for the departed

In your love (yeah)
Finding comfort and solace in the love shared

That's where I'll be, my baby ('cause I really wanna' see you smile)
Desiring to be in the presence of the loved one and witness their happiness

I'll always keep you with me (not a day goes by)
Holding onto the memory and essence of the loved one each day

Without you on my mind (on my mind)
Constantly thinking about the loved one's absence

And I'll be loving you for life (I'll be loving you)
Promising everlasting love and devotion

Think about you all the time
Continuously reminiscing and reflecting on the loved one

(We really miss you 'BIG')
Expressing the profound longing and grief for the departed
