Lyrics

[Intro: Add-2 and Point of Realization] Thought you gon' stay Please don't leave Now you gone away How you gonna go Thought you gonna stay Please don't leave Now you gone away Mama told me pray if you want it babe You gon' make a way when it ain't You don't gotta smile if you don't wanna So the pain will go away [Verse 1: Add-2] It's hard to let go the shit that hurt me the most I've been keeping it close and keeping it guarded They keep on turning my people to ghosts Waiting for something to break but seems that my spirit was broke Don't send me no scriptures or quotes... no Somebody killed my cousin Bookie in a parking lot No silver linings when CNN saw us crying They hugging my auntie Sheila as tight as they can while seeing her suffer in silence Seeing her posting his picture closest to seeing him alive I... wonder what we here for Wishing we could live more Everything is tempor- -Rary then we buried, scary Tried to help the hood but then they killed the kid I mentored Dear [?], I wish I could've protect you I hope in those final moments you know you were something special Wear tears in my eyes, they playing the songs we recorded 'Member when all the joy [?] 'fore yo casket is closing [Chorus: Add-2 and Point of Realization] Please don't go Thought you gon' stay Please don't leave Now you gone away How you gonna go Thought you gonna stay Please don't leave Now you gone away [Bridge: Add-2 and Point of Realization] I've been waiting for this day to come Eyes been open, hope I see the sun If I should die before I wake Pray the Lord my soul to take Dry your eyes, please don't cry for me [Verse 2: Add-2] I saw your picture, I miss you, I wish that you were still here I hear your voice in my head, it tell me to quiet my fears I 'member when I was younger, you singing yes Jesus loves me Love how you folded my hands and my name was all in your prayers Dear God, take my grandma and hold her close I know she can't live forever, I know she gotta go I'm sitting right by her side when they gave her hospice They told me I couldn't feed her, that shit was killing me softly No healing from me, dementia remind you it's me Watched our memories leave then watched you physically leave Sometimes I barely could breathe, Granny I'm feeling so weak Drink every day of the week, Black boy learning to grieve Then I got a call from Common's mom that calmed me down when I was sad once You got too many good times to focus on the sad ones I keep on hoping that you visit I keep on talking to your spirit [Chorus: Add-2 and Point of Realization] Grandma I miss you Please don't leave How you gonna go Thought you gon' stay Please don't leave
