Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Yeah, real rap (real rap), real rap for you
Yeah
Lighters up
Know you miss somebody (got to)
Put your (yeah), let's go (get 'em)

Though, though I'm missing you (straight to your head, man)
I'll find a way to get through (Nik', talk, yeah)
I know living without you is impossible (yeah, that's right)
And I, I know you gon' live on (cry, mama, yeah, cry, mama)
'Cause you were my brother (my sister)
And I love you, and I miss you, oh-oh

Stay strong, be tough, that's what the preacher tell you
He never really felt you, so he can't even help you
Need a shoulder to lean on, somebody to cry to
It's like everything's gone, but I'm a survivor
Standing on stage in front of thousands (yeah)
Don't amount to me not having my father
That's real talk, I know a lot of y'all got 'em
But you need 'em way more when you gotta go without 'em
And I'm without 'em, but that's life, y'all
Sometimes you gotta learn to swim with no lifeguard (yup)
I'm alright, God, shit, I'm still breathing
But loss hurt like bullets, I'm 'bout to start bleeding
Throw me down some comfort 'cause my heart need it (yeah)
Tryna cope but my chances are needle
There's a dark road ahead, but I'm trying to take it easy
Rest in peace Lil Beezy, my nigga

Though, though I'm missing you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)
I'll find a way to get through (but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)
I know living without you is impossible (can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)
And I, I know you gon' live on (real rap for you)
(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)
'Cause you were my brother (my sister, but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)
And I love you, and I miss you, oh-oh (can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)

And now we smoke kush all day and pop painkillers (yeah)
Fuck who don't understand it, this what the game did us
This' what the streets showed us, this' how the block made us
The same block where they laid 'em (damn)
I pray every time I cross the spot on the pavement, save me
Lord, will I be next for the taking? Take me
I know I'm living like I know when I'm coming
But I'm just living 'cause I know that it's coming
And the end is coming, but I ain't running, I ain't hiding and ducking
I'm in the middle of a war, I'm alive and love it
I'm just speaking from the heart of the dying public
We still beating, we gon' rise above it
Though it seem like they're cheating and we're losing
We survive, if nothing
They could never take the stride from struggling
I gotta ride, and sometimes that ride get bloody
But I just think about my buddy and go after that money
But, uh

Oh (yeah), we gotta get over (yeah)
We gotta get over, we gotta get over (yeah)
It's almost over (I said, I said I gotta get over)
And we're gon' be alright (I gotta get over)
('Cause, bitch, I'm a soldier)

Straight Patron out the bottle to the head now (bitch)
We're getting red now, bitch, my nigga dead now (bitch)
And all the things I never said, I gotta say it now (damn)
I shoulda said it then, now I gotta talk to clouds (damn)
Now I gotta walk around, brim down
Just trying to find my way 'til the next day, escape
Your birthday could be your death date
So I'm living like it was just yesterday, let's pray
Ten fingers together, can't bring 'em together
It's murder-murder, I don't think it get better
So be a competitor or get out the weather
Me? I got an umbrella and a Beretta (rah)
I'm just trying to make sure my daughter future progressing
And behind that, I'm shooting excessive (bang), trust me (yeah)
The beautiful dead, we're living with the ugly
I just tell my pops, "Wait for me, I'm coming"

Though, though I'm missing you (yeah, yeah)
(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)
I'll find a way to get through (but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)
I know living without you is impossible (can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)
And I, I know you gon' live on (they ask me what's wrong)
(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)
'Cause you were my brother (my sister, but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)
And I love you, and I miss you, oh-oh (can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)

They ask me why I wear shades at nighttime
(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)
'Cause I don't wanna see nothing (but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)
Yeah (can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)
Like I said (man)
Life ain't nothing but a long extended road, keep driving
(But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)
I done passed up plenty people on the side of road, no help
Keep going, yeah (I'm just tryna get over)
Lost a lot of passengers on the ride, kept going, yep




(But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get)
Who knows when I'll run outta gas? Yeah (over)
