Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope I'm dreamin'
I can't believe this shit
Can't believe you ain't here
Sometimes it's just hard for a nigga to wake up
It's just hard to just keep goin'
It's like I feel empty inside without you bein' here
I would do anything man, to bring you back
I saw your son today
He look just like you
You was the greatest
You'll always be the greatest
I miss you B.I.G.
Can't wait 'til that day, when I see your face again
I can't wait 'til that day, when I see your face again
Yeah, this right here (tell me why)
Goes out, to everyone, that has lost someone
That they truly loved (c'mon, check it out)
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin' on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin' of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
(I miss you B.I.G.)
It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in Heaven smilin' down
Watchin' us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
'Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts big I just can't define (can't define)
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the six, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin' hits, stages they receive you on
Still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you're life, after death
Every step I take, every move I make (ohh, I'll miss you)
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Thinkin' of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Somebody tell me why
One black morning
When this life is over
I know
I'll see your face
Every night I pray
Every step I take
Every move I make
Every single day
Every night I pray
Every day that passes (every step I take)
Is a day that I get closer (every move I make)
To seeing you again (every single day)
We miss you B.I.G. (every night I pray)
And we won't stop (every step I take)
'Cause we can't stop (every move I make)
That's right (every single day)
Every night I pray (we miss you)
Every step I take (we miss you)
Every move I make (we miss you)
We miss you B.I.G. (we miss you)
Every single day
The lyrics to Biggie Smalls feat. 112's song "Missing You" express the rapper's deep sense of loss and mourning for his friend and fellow musician, Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G., who was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in 1997. The song reflects on the difficulty of coping with such a sudden and devastating loss, with Biggie expressing his own disbelief and longing for his friend's presence in his life. He speaks of the pain he feels, the emptiness and sense of disconnect he experiences as he tries to go on without his friend by his side. Yet, through all of his grief, Biggie still feels a strong sense of loyalty and connection to The Notorious B.I.G., determined to honor his memory and his legacy through his music.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of both deep sadness and hope. The lyrics speak of the power of memory and the strength that it can give in times of loss, providing a way to keep those we have loved and lost close to us, even as we move forward into the future. The song is both a tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. and a powerful statement about the enduring strength of friendship and love, even in the face of tragedy.

I must have been about 50 years old when I first heard this song driving back from work. The next day I bought the double CD of Notorious Big just for this song. This was my introduction to RAP. I'm now 71 and still love this song and RAP.
