Miss You
The LOX T-Pain Lyrics

What are you afraid of?
What is causing you fear or anxiety?

You ain't gotta show us what you made of
You do not have to prove your abilities to us

I know you brave
I believe you possess courage

Let me pick you up when you fall
Allow me to support you when you are struggling

'Cause you know they won't miss you at all, uh-huh
Because you are aware that no one will care about your absence

If things keep goin' how they goin'
If the current situation continues

They won't miss you at all
Nobody will notice if you are gone

Yo, mama cryin', daddy high, you slept on the floor
Your mother is crying, your father is high, and you slept on the floor

Rent is due, shots poppin', sound like we at war
Rent needs to be paid and gunshots are going off, making it feel like a warzone

Can't go in that bitch, too many niggas in the store (oh, you scared?)
Cannot enter the store as there are too many people inside (are you scared?)

Police comin', hide the guns, give shawty that raw
The police are arriving, hide the guns and give the drugs to the accomplice

Why you think I be on tour? I get money, I want more (uh-huh)
The reason I'm always on tour is because I want to make more money

Niggas hate to see you ballin', they wish that you was poor
People dislike seeing you succeed and wish you were struggling

Don't no streets love me, just my fans and some niggas I relate to (facts)
The streets do not love me, only my fans and those I have a connection with

'Cause if you doin' good, they gone hate you
People will hate on you if you are doing well

Couple in the ground and a couple in the Feds
Some people are dead and some are in prison

I could visit a couple of 'em, but a couple of 'em dead
I can visit some of them, but some are deceased

Had a rough life homie, ain't none of it was smooth
I've had a tough life, nothing has been easy

I was born in these streets, I'm just smart enough to move
I grew up in this environment, but I am clever enough to navigate it

Shit gotta get righter, the homie got a lighter
Things need to improve, my friend has a lighter

And a RAW, and the fronto, and the fire
We have rolling paper, tobacco and a lighter to smoke with

I use to watch The Wire, and watch for niggas wearin' wires
I used to watch the TV show The Wire, and be on the lookout for people who were snitches

Now I'm in the street car, named desire (ha)
Now I'm out in the world, chasing my dreams

But I'm more like Veto movin' the olive oil
I see myself as a character who is slyly and effectively distributing drugs

Had the rock in the foil after the potter boiled (facts)
I had the crack cocaine wrapped in foil after cooking it up

I was standin' on the corner, like, yeah, I got it for you (I got it)
I was standing on the street corner, ready to sell drugs to anyone who wanted it

If you lookin' for work, I got the product for you
If you need drugs, I have them for sale

You could've hand me a gun, I would've shot it for you
You could have given me a gun, and I would have used it for you

Now I'm out in Milan, probably coppin' Milano on you (ah)
Now I am in Milan, likely buying designer clothing on you

Ill writer like Goines, I'm speakin' Donald to you
I am a great writer, like the author Donald Goines, and I am talking to you

I rather get to the coin than pop a hollow on you
I would rather make money than shoot at someone

We ain't have everything we wanted, but had everything we needed (everything)
We did not have everything we desired, but had all the necessities

And every night, there was some dinner for us to eat it (uh)
Every night, we had a meal to eat

Prayers and love to the thugs who really need it (yeah)
Sending prayers and love to those in need of it the most

Believe it, wake up in your cell, and get superseded
It's real, you can wake up in a prison cell and suddenly have a new cellmate.

Know the loser don't get rewarded, when you defeated (never)
There are no rewards for the loser, especially when they have been defeated

Or the mission don't get aborted 'til you complete it (nah)
You cannot quit until you achieve your mission

All I know if you can be taught it, then you could be it (yes)
If you can learn something, you can do it

And you should be able to afford it, if you could see it (woo)
If you can envision it, you should be able to afford it

Frustrations build up and push you to that point
Frustrations can accumulate and push you to a breaking point

Next stop, funeral home or a max joint
The next destination could be the funeral home or prison

Streets don't love 'em (nah), the dealers won't miss 'em (uh-uh)
The streets do not love them and the dealers will not miss them

It's real in the fields, even realer in the system, what's up?
The reality on the streets is tough, but it is even tougher within the system, what's going on?

Miss you at all
Nobody will miss you

The sad thing is everybody know it, they won't miss you
It is unfortunate that everyone is aware that no one will miss you
