I'll Be Missing You

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 being here
I would do anything, man, to bring you back
I'd give all this shit up, this shit don't mean nothin'
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 (come on, check it out)
It 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
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 livin' 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 (ha)
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 to proceed (uh-huh)
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts, B.I.G., 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 livin' you're life after death
Every step I take
Every move I make (I 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 glad 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 step I take (every day that passes is a day that I get closer)
Every move I make, every single day (to seeing you again)
Every night I pray, every step I take (we miss you, B.I.G., and we won't stop)
Every move I make, every single day ('cause we can't stop, that's right)
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day (we miss you, B.I.G.)
In the song "I'll Be Missing You" by P.Diddy (formerly known as Puff Daddy), the lyrics are an emotional tribute to the rapper Christopher Wallace (a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls), who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1997. The song samples the melody from "Every Breath You Take" by The Police and was written by Puff Daddy, Faith Evans (Biggie's wife), and the songwriter/producer Sting (who receives credit because of the sample). The lyrics express mourning for the loss of a loved one and the pain that comes with trying to move on without them.
The opening lines, "Every day I wake up, I hope I'm dreamin', I can't believe this shit, can't believe you ain't here" speak to the disbelief that someone can be taken away suddenly and how it can feel unreal. Puff Daddy goes on to show how difficult it is to move forward without his friend, "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". Puff Daddy also talks about the impact Biggie had on his life, "You was the greatest, You'll always be the greatest, I miss you B.I.G." and how he hopes to be reunited with him in the afterlife, "Every night I pray, every step I take, every move I make, every single day, every night I pray, every day that passes is a day that I get closer to seeing you again".
The chorus repeats "I'll be missing you", which could mean that Puff Daddy will always mourn his friend, but it could also be read as Puff Daddy assuring the listener that it's okay to miss someone and that he understands the pain of loss. The song is cathartic and expresses a universal feeling of grief and loss. It's a powerful representation of the impact a person can have on another's life and how losing them can leave a void that's difficult to fill.

As a young lady when Biggie got murdered, I always knew deep down P Diddy had a part to play in Biggie's death. This song never sat right with me. Diddy blew up after Biggie's sacrifice.
Biggie's wife may have had a part too.
I am glad I am here to see the fall of Diddy's dynasty.
2024 is the year of TRUTH.
Biggie must be sipping something nice with Tupac as he watches all that is happening. Rest easy Biggie
