We miss ya 
Yo writer's block 
Sick of grippin' on this d**n pencil 
Messin' with this man's mental 
I need to take a break 
I got simple symptoms of a man gentle 
Stressing 'cause my fam' miss you 
I need to see your face 
On the Grand Central navigation telling' me to drive slow 
Thinkin' about all of the places 
I roam and people in my home 
I wanna know why they come and go 
Why I'm getting all these thoughts the piano and the drum evoke 
I'm reminded of the first time 
We spoke how you loved the first rhyme I wrote 
Except the curses but you loved the jokes 
How you told me nights I wasn't actin' right 
Never letting me take some bad advice we had our fights 
But it's like your life was meant for you 
To be my mentor and my guardian 
These feelings that I never want to enter in my heart again 
Are seeping in I'm weakened I'm alive but I'm cold 
I imagine you're my passenger reminisce on the road 
Back through time 
Time time goes by yeah 
Still I cry 
Reminiscing 'bout you 
And I close my eyes 
And ask why 
I have to live without you 
First Michael Jackson passes now every day I'm askin' 
Why weren't you able to stay stay 
Days are only kind of better so I'm writing you this letter 
Full of things I never got to say say 
First and foremost I love you and that never changes 
When you left I couldn't gauge it the pain was outrageous 
But now it's kind of strange 
You help me get through the days just 
By thinking of your face and reminiscing through the pages 
Everything I wrote and that I'm saying on them stages 
I'm passionate I hear your laugh again and little traces 
Of your smile flicker through my closed eyes 
Wishin' I could nose dive in your heart's 
Ocean and just float by 
Who knows why I feel the way that I do 
I got more to say 
But I think that I'll just save it for you 
For that first day 
We meet again the stories will be told 
We'll be drivin' through our lives and reminisce on the road 
Back through time 
Time time goes by 
Still I cry 
Reminiscing 'bout you 
And I close my eyes 
And ask why 
I have to live without you 
Writer's block sick of grippin' on this d**n pencil 
Messin' with this man's mental I need to take a break 
I got simple symptoms of a man gentle 
Stressing 'cause my fam' miss you I need to see your face 
Face face 
You know I can't wait 
Can't wait till we get 
Be face to face again and I can 
I can tell you all this in person 
Time time goes by 
Still I cry 
Reminiscing 'bout you 
And I close my eyes 
And ask why 
I have to live without you 
I remember like it was yesterday 
And I close my eyes last night when I fell asleep 
Grandpa always had a joke 
I remember like it was yesterday 
And I close my eyes last night when I fell asleep 
I dreamed you were here right next to me 
And ask why 
We were young playing in the street 
Just kicking it old school like this beat 
Time time goes by best friend always had my back 
Always real and I'm really grateful for that 
Still I cry 
Reminiscing 'bout you 
Good friends from back in the days 
So no one can never ever take your place 
And I close my eyes 
Seems like all my inspiration is moving and leaving and passing on 
And ask why 
Bright stars that inspire me 
Touch my life and next minute they're gone
