D C D Em Bm
[Verse 1]
C D
Ayo Jam, this is a letter to you
Em
It's been a while,
but it's been hard for me
to get in the booth
D C
Since we lost spoke,
I become a father of two
D Em
Tryna live life with a smile,
Bm
but that's been harder to do
C
'Cause all I wanna do is talk about you
D
But these tears won't
Em
let me talk about you
We should've known that
D
we been lost without you
C
Therapy sessions diggin'
D
deep into depression
Em
I got a life with the blessings
Bm
But this just breaks my fuckin' heart
C
At your birthday,
D
couldn't even crack a smile
Em
I just cried and left the party,
D
need to see you in while
C
Headed to the mural,
D
some jerk wings and plantain
Em
'Cause that is the way that me
Bm
and you would celebrate it
C
I never knew you'd touch the stuff,
D
'cause you'd always bad me up
Em
If you saw me more than drunk,
D
you always hated what it does
C
Before Lyra I just stopped,
I haven't even wanted one
Em
I can't get over this, it's fucked, man,
Bm
I wished I'd known
C
And yo, we cried for nine nights
at your family home
D Em
Laid you to rest in the ground,
but without a stone
D C
You know it hits me most
at moments now when I'm alone
D Em
Every morning I remember
Bm
that you're really gone
[Chorus]
C
'Cause it's been a long night and
D Em
I cry 'cause I miss my brother
D C
You know for life, got your sis and mother
And day and night,
D Em
it still hits that you're gone
Bm C
And right now I'm spillin' tears in my cup
D Em
You left the world before you met Jupiter
D C
Wish you'd have known you would be a godfather
D Em
You would've loved lovin' my little girls
Bm C
If not for them, I'd be down with the world
[Verse 2]
D
Was there two hours after you passed
Em
Speedin' east to west,
D
silent in the back of the car
C
Was at your mum's, there all week,
D
tryin' to make sense but I can't
Em
And although it's been a year,
Bm
I still feel the pain in my heart
C
'Cause you were there from the start
The day we met, yeah,
D Em
I moved in and we were never apart
D
People assumed that we were lovers,
C
but we're brothers in arms
D Em
Symbiotic bond of love and gave each other
Bm
a chance, my God, ah
Fuck sake, lately I've been
D Em
cryin' so much my lungs ache
D C
Teardrops all over my shirt
like blood stains
D Em
And I know to heal a heart, it must break,
Bm
but I'm done prayin'
C
They gave me a shovel at your burial and
D Em
Watchin' you get lowered is somethin'
I can't forget at all
D C
And people find and stop me
in the street and say it's terrible
D Em
But they don't know you like
Bm
I knew you and they never will
C
No one saw the nights turn into day
D
when we were battle rappin'
Em
No one saw the belly laugh,
D
and every train to somewhere random
C
No one saw the holidays,
D
and then our first experience clubbing
Em
No one knew the things
Bm
you did for me and never
asked for nothing
C
No one read the conversations of the moves
D
that we were planning
Em
No one knew about the way you felt
D
the scene left you abandoned
C
No one knew about your fears
D
'cause you would hide them with a smile
Em
No one knew when people took an inch,
Bm
you would give 'em a mile
C D
'Cause that was always Jamal, SB to the crowd
Em
They used to shout your networth,
but they don't mention it now
D C
They hear about your good deeds
and infectious smile
D Em
A golden heart that's still remembered
Bm
is worth more than a crown
C
I promised sixty-four bars
D
and now I keep it to Tanisha
Em
Mummy, Isaac, the gang,
D
but I just wish that you'd seen it
C
I can't accept that you're gone,
D
or the grief that I'm feeling
Em
I prayed to God for answers,
Bm
but He still won't give me a reason
C
I think about you every day,
D
nothing will take this pain away
Em
I'll keep your legacy amazing, mate
D C
The conversations at your grave's
D
the only way to be close
I know you'll greet me with a smile
on the day that I go
[Chorus]
C
'Cause it's been a long night
D Em
and I cry 'cause I miss my brother
D C
You know for life, got your sis and mother
D Em
You know I cry 'cause I miss my brother
Bm C D Em
My brother was SB.TV
[Outro]
D C D Em Bm
C D Em D C
