Alma Ft. French Montana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again when I see you again

All the planes we flew

Good things we've been through
That I'd be standing right
Here talking to you 'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up look at things different
See the bigger picture
Those were the days hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place
Uh, how could we not talk about family
When family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were
Standing there by my side
And now you be gon' with me for the last ride
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again when I see you again

First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turned into a bond
And that bond will never be broken
And the love will never get lost
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached
So remember me when I'm gone
How could we not talk about family
When family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were
Standing there by my side
And now you be gon' with me for the last ride

So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again when I see you again

When I see you again (see you again, yeah)
When I see you again
