Haha

Yeah

Had to do this one

One time

[Verse 1]

Hello, death, it seems that we meet again

You keep taking friends that I'll never see again

I guess they gotta leave

But if we pretend that they never left

Well, we gon' see them then

Never leave our heart, never leave our thoughts

As time goes by, they'll never be forgot

Life goes on, though I wish that they was there

Shit like this never gonna seem fair, yeah

So can I have a moment of silence

For anyone who's gone from the coldness of violence?

And I know you wanna see me go to college

But I'm sorry, I don't think that I'ma make it

Because this world is mine for the takin'

So when I get famous, they gon' know what your name is

And no one understand what the pain is

And how the blood run numb where my veins is

I'd like to thank you, 'cause you made me a man

Told me to never let it go, so I'm taking a stand

Always in the crowd when I played in the band

Your grandson is everything I say that I am

And maybe I am a little bit over my head

But I'm feeling so alone tryna cope with your death

Holding my breath, wishing I had one more day

Wishing you could be there when I graduate

Ugh, and it's sad to say

That no one in this room understand me

I know you had to leave, so rest in peace

But please, can you watch over Nanny?

'Cause she loved you, and I love you

All the prayers I'm saying may bug you

But I'm just checking in on what you up to

So, how they treating you up there?

Too stubborn for a cane, way too cool

Sleeping at your house, walking me to school

Thought I was a fool when my grades started slipping

When I played ball, you was always in admission

You loved me more than I've been loved before

And that's a type of thing that everyone ignores

But not me, you got me

Always and forever, Poppy

[Chorus]

Time goes by, going without you

Hope you know I've been thinking about you

And I know, I know, I know, I know

That they took you from your home

But you're in my heart

So I'm never gonna be alone

Time goes by, going without you

Hope you know I've been thinking about you

And I know, I know, I know, I know

That they took you from your home

But you're in my heart

So I'm never gonna be alone
