[Emcee(s): Cise Star]


[Producer(s): Enoch and Speck]


[Sample (Melody): Kenny Loggins ft. Stevie Nicks - “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend’” (0:09)]


[Verse 1: Cise Star]

One more time, I gotta see your face, and I cry

Every time I think about the things that you did

Held me there, always told me to face my fears

I held the tears back, had to get a beer

Just to maintain from all the stress and pain, I held

You there, but damn, now you’re gone from here. I think

About the things that I should have said before

The fall, I scream and I curse at God for taking

You away so early in my life. You never

Had a chance to see me have a wife

Never be a grandmother and see my kids, you’ll never

See your son mature and grow on to live. I’m fighting

The tears to stay strong for the fam, but damn

I’m just a man with a broken plan, I am

I’m just a man with a broken plan, I am

I’m just a man. Come on


[Interlude: Cise Star]

Sometimes, I just zone out thinking about everything that you did for me, all the love that you had given me, but then I think about where you are right now, and it brings me peace, and it brings me joy. But sometimes, I still feel a little bit empty


[Verse 2: Cise Star]

Sometimes, when the stress of the day is thick, I have

A wish to have that one last kiss, one

More hug, rejoice and grand with love of God above

Allah I needed because the stress

And strain, the pain come down the rain. The Sun

It came too late, now it’s not the same

My life has changed, my soul has an empty place

And only the sound of your voice can fill the space


[Hook: Cise Star]

I’ll wrestle

Angels just to see your face again because

You were my life, my mother and friend

You reside in God’s love, now in Heaven above, so don’t

You move. Your son gonna see you soon, I run

Past the hardships, tears, and pain. Growing up

I said your name, you always came

Hold my hand, guiding me through the storm

Now I need to be strong ‘cause you’re with the Lord


[Verse 3: Cise Star]

From the beginning of end to the finish of start, hold

Close to my heart. No matter how hard things

Get to be, it’s you I see

Smiling, crying, looking down at me with tears

Of joy. Come hold your baby boy, look at me now

It’ll make momma proud so she

Can see the things I aspire to be. She sowed

The seed, and now her boy’s a tree, and the

Roots are strong and they’re growing long, and

Raise the star, let the feast of God in

All the love that you’ve given me helped

Me become the man you see, so

Hold me close and never let me go

Lo and behold the time you have to go

Spread your wings, momma, let you fly ‘cause God

Himself will be the one to dry your eyes. Goodbye


[Hook: Cise Star]

I’ll wrestle

Angels just to see your face again because

You were my life, my mother and friend

You reside in God’s love, now in Heaven above, so don’t

You move. Your son gonna see you soon, I run

Past the hardships, tears, and pain. Growing up

I said your name, you always came

Hold my hand, guiding me through the storm

Now I need to be strong ‘cause you’re with the Lord
