Yo, Jam, this is a letter to
E
you
It’s been a
F#m
while, but it’s been hard for me to get in the
E
booth
And since we
D
last spoke, I’ve become a father of two
E
Tryna live
F#m
life with a smile, but that’s been
C#m
harder to do
‘Cause all I
D
wanna do is talk about you
But
E
these tears won’t let me
F#m
talk about you
We should’ve known that we’d be
E
lost without you
D
Therapy sessions, diggin’ deep in depression
I got a
F#m
life full of blessings, but this just
C#m
breaks my f**kin’ heart
D
At your birthday, couldn’t even crack a s
E
mile
I just
F#m
cried and left the party, Neesh, I’ll see you in while
Headed
D
to the mural, got some jerk wings and plantain
‘Cause that
F#m
is the way that me and you would
C#m
celebrate
it
I never
D
knew you touched the stuff, ’cause you’d always bad me
E
up
If you
F#m
saw me more than drunk, you always hated what it
C#m
does
Be
D
fore Lyra, I just stopped, I haven’t even wanted one
I can’t get
F#m
over this, it’s f**ked, man, I wi
C#m
shed I’d known
And yo, we
D
cried for nine nights in your family home
E
Laid you to
F#m
rest in the ground but without a stone
E
You know it
D
hits me most at moments now when I’m alone
Every
F#m
morning, I remember that you’re
C#m
really
gone
(CHO)
‘Cause it’s
D
been a long night and I cry
‘Cause I
E
miss my bro
F#m
ther
You know for life, got your sis and mo
D
ther
And day and night, it still
E
hits that you’re
F#m
gone
And right
C#m
now I’m spillin’ tears in my
D
cup
You left the world ‘fore you
E
met
Jupi
F#m
ter
Wish you’d have known you would be godfa
D
ther
You would’ve loved lovin’ my little
F#m
girls
If not for
C#m
them, I’d be done with the
D
world
(VER)
Was there two hours after you passed
Speedin’
F#m
east to west, silent in the back of the car
Was at your
D
mum’s, there all week, tryin’ to make sense but I can’t
And al
F#m
though it’s been a year
Still feel the
C#m
pain in my heart
‘Cause you were
D
there from the start
The day we met, yeah
I moved in and we were
F#m
never
apart
People assumed that we were lovers, but we’re
D
brothers in arms
Symbiotic bond of love and gave
F#m
each other a chance
My
C#m
god, ah, F**k sake
Lately I’ve been cryin’ so
F#m
much, my lungs ache
Teardrops all over my
D
shirt like blood stains
And I know to heal a
F#m
heart, it must break
But
C#m
I’m done prayin’, they
D
Gave me a shovel at your burial
And
E
watchin’ you get
F#m
lowered is somethin’ I can’t forget at all
And people find and
D
stop me in the street and say it’s terrible
But they don’t
F#m
know you like I knew you and they
C#m
never
will
No one
D
saw the nights turn into day when we were battle
E
rappin’
No one
F#m
saw the belly laugh, and every train to somewhere
E
random
No one
D
saw the holidays, and then our first experience clubbin’
No one
F#m
knew the things you did for me and
C#m
never asked for nothin’
No one
D
read the conversations of the moves that we were
E
plannin’
No one
F#m
knew about the way you felt the scene, left you
E
abandoned
No one
D
knew about your fears ’cause you would hide ’em with a
E
smile
No one
F#m
knew when people took an inch, you
C#m
would give ’em a mile
‘Cause that was
D
always Jamal, SB to the
E
crowd
They used to
F#m
shout your net worth, but they don’t
E
mention it now
They hear a
D
bout your good deeds and infectious smile
A golden
F#m
heart that’s still remembered is
C#m
worth more than a crown
I promised
D
sixty-four bars and now I keep it to
E
Tanisha
Mummy,
F#m
Isaac, the gang, but I just wish that you’d
E
seen
it
I can’t
D
accept that you’re gone, or the grief that I’m feeling
I prayed to
F#m
God for answers, but He still won’t
C#m
give me a reason
I think
D
about you every day, nothing will take this
E
pain
away
I’ll
F#m
keep your legacy amazin’, mate
E
The conversations at
D
your grave’s the only way to be close
E
I know you’ll greet me with a smile on the day that I go
(CHO)
‘Cause it’s
D
been a long night and I cry
‘Cause I
E
miss my bro
F#m
ther
And for life, got your sis and mo
D
ther
You know I cry ’cause I miss my bro
