Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shit was good while it lasted, we had some fun, now New York will never be the same again
You was whoopin' people ass, got me banned from Little Sister and I didn't give a damn
Never thought that I would see the day, they put your Maybach inside an ambulance (yeah)
I'm hurtin', I miss my sleeze
I hope you ball (ball), I hope you ball in peace
Can't get you off, can't get you off of my mind
What were you runnin' away, runnin' away from? (runnin' from)
I'm proud you made it out a long way, where you came from (long way)
I'm tryna find someone to take out this pain on (pain)
I wish I could turn back time so I could hold on (I can keep you close)
I see you in my dreams, fallin' away from me (I can keep you close)
I never met someone as loyal, I'ma just keep shit immaculate for you
I always made sure that you ate good when it's time to eat
Had a feast from Nobu, took Jue Lan until you fell asleep
When I came to your city, I kept you with me for the whole week
Ever since you been gone, I'm stayin' awake, I can't get no sleep
Fuck twelve, man, I know they did it, can't believe they really just took my mans
Shit was good while it lasted, we had some fun, now New York will never be the same again
You was whoopin' people ass, got me banned from Little Sister and I didn't give a damn
Never thought that I would see the day, they put your Maybach inside an ambulance (yeah)
I'm hurtin', I miss my sleeze
I hope you ball (ball), I hope you ball in peace
Can't get you off, can't get you off of my mind
I wish I could call (call), I wish I could call you one more time
I was caught up, thinkin' everybody real 'til you told me somethin' that no one told me
Every time I sprinkle grabba on my weed, I'm thinkin' 'bout you, so I'm rollin' a Joley
You was always down to ride with me when these people acted like they didn't know me
Fuck you was doin' runnin' from the cops? You was drivin' your whip like it was a stoley (I can keep you close)
I see you in my dreams, fallin' away from me (I can keep you close)
I never met someone as loyal, I'ma just keep shit immaculate for you
'Til I fall out, I'ma ball out 'till the end, I'ma miss my friend until we meet again
I wish that you died to an opp, so I could drop a bag and start to fuckin' gearin' up
Shit wasn't part of the plan, now you got a grown man fuckin' tearin' up
Fuck twelve, man, I know they did it, can't believe they really just took my mans (my mans)
Shit was good while it lasted, we had some fun, now New York will never be the same again (same again)
You was whoopin' people ass, got me banned from Little Sister and I didn't give a damn (give a damn)
Never thought that I would see the day, they put your Maybach inside an ambulance (ambulance)
