Yea!
This for Everybody That Ever Lost Somebody Uh!
Just To Keep It Soulful, yea
Three! Two!
Verse 1:
One thing about me, try to be a life changer
But its not in my nature- to simply assume
The way a person acts- thinks- reacts cuz everybody different- got they own groove
They own style- but little things make em similar
From one individual to the other- like what I heard- many times before
Which made me start to think- insecure
I always think of my dead- but I never thought of em in heaven What was runnin through they head
What they think bout- how I live my life- how I present my speech & my motzie alike
So I start to ponder- mind went to wander- of my fams thoughts through the pearly gates days
If theyre proud, if now they happy with the Man Im becoming- I wonder what theyd say, but
Chorus 4X:
If You Were Here, I Know What You Would Say (Hey)
Verse 2:
See, theres not many people I keep close
Because I never been the kind to have most
Popularity, population- around me at all times and locations
Type to be alone- except wit my fam & Grandpop at home
I tend to lean toward- the old & the wise
Like grandpop got those sayings stickin in my mind
Like the whistle of slaves is clean through time
Take none for face value- read between lines
Stand by your morals- never compromise
When it comes to God- and your family tides
All that I say is for all ears & eyes
Directed to the young & hungry that despise
Petitions to wallow- kids of tomorrow
Leave the second generation- impatient from the sorrow
Where the sunsets- it rises somewhere else
Never decide to jeopardize your health
Dont be jealous of the evil- God always takes care of his own people
But hells like chips- eventually you gonna have to pay the piper- for the times you trip
And the good die young like Syleena and Aliyah- so you must remember next days never promised dear
Chorus 4X:
If You Were Here, I Know What You Would Say (Hey)
Verse 3:
Times a funny thing, but holds so much power
It can take us at any day & any hour
It tells how long these memories last
Before age & experience makes them pass
It allows us to grow wiser- or happier
From how much we spent with them
Laughing, crying, fighting & high 5ing
Fallin- ballin- stallin but still risin
The good & the bad- when life was well rounded
When they bought you back- when you were off balance
When they told you truth- that hurt to the core
But later in your time- it made you secure
I dont know much about the afterlife, and I think its safe to say neither do you
But when it get to remembering & pondering & wondering
The thoughts of yours too
Just remember they personality- the way they loved you
And set your soul at ease
it wont be a surprise- or doubt in my mind
you can find in ya heart the words that theyd speak
Chorus 4X:
If You Were Here, I Know What You Would Say (Hey) 8X
