This is for my peoples

Who just lost somebody

Ya best friend ya baby

Ya man or ya lady

Put ya hand way up high

We will never say bye

Mamas daddys

sisters brothers

Friends and cousins

This is for my peoples

Who lost

their grandmothers

Lift ya head to the sky

Cause we will

never say bye

As a child there

were them times

I didn''t get it

but you kept me in line

I didn''t know

why you didn''t

show up sometimes

On Sunday mornings

and I missed you

But I''m glad

we talked through

All them grown

folk things

Separation brings

You never

let me know it

You never

let it show because

You loved me

and obviously

There''s so much more

left to say

If you were

with me today

Face to face

Never knew

I could hurt like this

And everyday life

goes on I

Wish I could talk to

you for a while

Miss you but

I try not to cry

As time goes by

And it''s true

that you''ve

Reached a better place

Still I''d

give the world

To see your face

bye

And be right here

next to you

bye

But it''s like

you''re gone too soon

bye

Now the hardest thing

to do

Is say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye

And you never

got a chance

To see

how good I done

And you never

got to see me

Back at number one

I wish that

you were here

To celebrate together

I wish

that we could spend

The holidays together

I remember

when you used to

Tuck me in at night

With the teddy

bear you gave me

That I held so tight

I thought

you were so strong

You''d make it

through whatever

It''s so hard to

accept the fact

You''re gone forever

I never knew

I could hurt like this

And everyday life

goes on I

Wish I could

talk to you

for a while

Miss you

but I try

not to cry

As time goes by

And it''s true

that you''ve

Reached a better place

Still I''d

give the world

To see your face

And be right here

next to you

But it''s like

you''re gone too soon

Now the hardest thing

to do

Is say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye

Bye bye

This is for my peoples
