Truly love)
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
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 days, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
I miss you Big
It′s kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
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 6, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin hits, stages they receive you on
I 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
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the days, 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 step I take
Every day that passes
Every move I make, every single day
Is a day that I get closer
To seeing you again
Every night I pray, every step I take
We miss you Big... 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 Big
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
Every step I take...
