What will I do baby, not that you're gone (Gone)

You're gone (Gone)

Smilez & Southstar

Dear mom, I know you're prowd your sons doing good (Yeah)

But I return it all for just one hug ( I would)

Your oldest son and daughter they doing good

We all sticking together like we should (Family)

You introduced me to the lord when I had no kids

Mad at the world like life ain't fair

I remember you said only the lord I should fear (I do)

And with that my stormy weather would be clear

Lord how could you take somethin' so precious

Against our prayers,cares and strong wishes (How could you)

I know now ma you livin' through your kids

And if I look at my heart there you is

I can't believe that you're gone you was my best friend

My mother my father everything that I am (Word)

I love you, mom you's my guardian angel

I can't wait to see your pretty face real soon (Rest in peace)

What will I do baby, now that you're gone

You're gone

What will I do baby, not that you're gone (Gone)

You're gone (Gone)

1999, I lost my son

That day I thought I lost my mind

Victim of a still birth, man it still hurt

Until this day memories still lurk (Yeah)

I think to myself 'bout what could it been (Uh-huh)

It makes me realize that life is thin

And I promise that you'll always live on

Especially, with your name tattooed on my arm

And Breaks, dog I can't believe that you're gone

Can't believe I gotta mention your name on this song (Man)

Seems like yesterday we was jokin' around

Always had a smile on your face, never a frown (Yeah)

You told me, "Star keep holdin' it down"

You got too much talent to be quittin' it now

So, cause of you I stayed in this game (That's right)

I'ma make sure no one forgets your name (Rest in peace Breaks)

What will I do baby, now that you're gone

You're gone

What will I do baby, not that you're gone (Gone)

You're gone (Gone)

I still don't know how I got by (Uh)

All of these hard times I took it and strive

Turn to the pad grabbed me a pen (Uh-huh)

And said that "I would enjoy my life to the end (That's right)

And no matter what, I keep my head up

Persue my dreams and never get fed up

So, when I hear this put up my fist (Yeah)

To let ya know that you'll always be miss (Oh)

It took so long to write these thoughts

It's so dang hard to lose a love

I'm gon' stay strong and pray to the lord

Cause everything he does is for a cause (Yeah)

Adam Ikenser, that was my dog (My *****)

I won't forget those wild times in football

You won't be forgotten man, that's for sure

Pour out a little liquor for all of ya

What will I do baby, now that you're gone

You're gone

What will I do baby, not that you're gone (Gone)

You're gone (Gone)
