Away From Me

Aiyyo, what up Reese? It's been a minute since we last spoke
 Side by side, in a circle round mad folks
 We took it round each other wishing we were still close
 But I'm grown and it's tough for you to swallow
 I know it hit you hard when your boys hit you
 And your letters, I never answered back to
 Even though life keep me racing like a track dude
 I bailed out in your time of need
 But you fucked me over in your time of greed
 We from the same womb, what happened to the creed?
 An unspoken word between you and I
 J-B's for life, we ain't supposed to cry
 Remember after my first fight, we stayed up all night
 Getting taught how to throw them thangs
 If he defeat I, it's the force you bring
 Harassing Kevin after lunch for about a week
 How did we get to the point when we would hardly speak?
 Pulling up to the house, fresh change of sneaks
 Big buckets, pants stay tight from the big duckets
 We all loved it, I was so naive
 Big brother kept me smiling, tricks up his sleeve
 Had me facing claves, cases and stacks of threes
 My God, it ain't what it supposed to be
 Barbeques, family and friends close to me
 Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in a while
 It's kinda foul cause a nigga getting older, ain't no time for you now
 Wishing you was right here so I could hold you now
 (You're so far away from me)
 Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in a while
 It's kinda foul, cause you getting older and now I'm missing your smile
 And we went our separate ways, ain't no problems now
 (You're so far away from me)
 Cause one day we gon' still get down
 We gon' still get down
 Get-get-a-get-get down
 Get-get-a-get-a-get-get down
 Get to get, yo say, get to get down
 One day we gon' still get down
 (You're so far away from me)
 Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in a while
 It's kinda foul cause a nigga getting older, ain't no time for you now
 Wishing you was right here so I could hold you now
 Cause one day, we gon' still get down
 (You're so far away from me)
 Check it, now what the deal baby? I'm still here, still crazy
 I'm real sorry we ain't had a chance to chill lately
 Or even talk as often now, congratulations
 They telling me you almost walking now
 Roads of life I'm crossing now
 Can't wait to get you back to NC so we can all get down
 And get real tight, have you dressed up rocking the ill Nikes
 Show you what a father is supposed to feel like
 It's been nights that I wake up thinking that I hear you
 Back of my mind start feeling fearful
 Thinking if the words I say are really getting to you
 And when I hold you in my arms if my face look familiar to you
 That shit is killing me dude, I pray that your eyes remember me
 Black and white is all you can see in infancy
 And eventually I'll have you on some comfortable shit
 Two parent income, Claire and Cliff Huxtable shit
 But right now it's all about this long distance
 All I can do is get along with it, try and be strong with it
 Fuck being long winded
 Hearing you laugh is like music to my ears but the song ended
 Me and your moms both missing your smile and all your silly faces
 Even your hurl on our pillowcases
 Goddamn it, this ain't how life supposed to be
 Cause baby boy, you should be close to me, now run it down
 Yo, this one is for our peoples that is out there
 We just want you to know y'all ain't forgot there
 Oh yeah, we hearing y'all, and yeah, we feeling y'all
 (You're so far away from me)
 And yo, this one is for my peoples that is out there
 And Little Dil and Little Jordan ain't forgot there
 Oh yeah, we hearing y'all, and yeah, we feeling y'all
 (You're so far away from me)
 And yo, this one is for my peoples that is out there
 Tyree R.I.P., you ain't forgot there
 And yo, I'm hearing y'all, and yeah, we feeling y'all
 (You're so far away from me)
 Say somethin' boo boo
 Say somethin' else
