Intro
This one goes out to everyone.Who knows-
What it's like too lose somebody.
Who knows da pain...Everytime they breathe!

Verse 1
We were tight as brothers
We were like jing and jang,
Nothing could sep'rate us
I thought till tha gangbang.
A bullet took u 'way
Grievin' with da fam'ly,
How am I to explain
To ya son at age three.
That his father is gone
He'll never understand,
Neither will I why did
God take a holy man.
Who've never done a wrong
Who get's everyone straight,
I fall to knees and pray
That you'll get past the gates.
She think 'bout you each sec
Says: Without u it ain't life,
No matter what I do
I can't comfort ur wife...Cuz'

Chorus(x2)
Everytime I breathe it hurts inside.
I just can't tell wrong from right.
I don't ever wanna say goodnight.
Can't last another lifetime...without you.

Verse 2
Truly hope that u watch
U're fam'ly grow each day,
She miss u, pray for u
But Janice's doin' Ok.
Their all so proud of ur
Community effect,
And u're boy is growing
Into a man with respect.
I'll teach him right from wrong
Just like u once taught me,
Know it won't be the same
Cuz u're not here to teach.
And I still blame myself
For u not surviving,
So much I could have done
But bro' I did nothing.
If I knew CPR
Then u would be alive,
To enjoy barbecues....
Forever pain will arrive...Cuz'

Chorus (x2)

Bridge
A childhood relationship long gone,
I thought walking down the old church ile,
But I won't erase you from my file.
And I've never heard so many cries, so
At your funural I closed my eyes,
And began to pray....

Chorus (Til Fade)
