[Intro]

Yeah

Yeah, real rap (Real rap), real rap for ya

Yeah

Lighters up

Know you miss somebody (Got to)

Put your (Yeah), let's go (Get 'em)

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lil Wayne]

Though, though I'm missing you (Straight to your head, man)

I'll find a way to get through (Nik', talk, yeah)

I know livin' without ya is impossible (Yeah, that's right)

And I, I know you gon' live on (Cry, mama, yeah, cry, mama)

'Cause you were my brother (My sister)

And I love ya, and I miss ya, oh-oh


[Verse 1]

Stay strong, be tough, that's what the preacher tell ya

He never really felt ya, so he can't even help ya

Need a shoulder to lean on, somebody to cry to

It's like everything's gone, but I'm a survivor

Standin' on stage in front of thousands (Yeah)

Don't amount to me not havin' my father

That's real talk, I know a lot of y'all got 'em

But you need 'em way more when you gotta go without 'em

And I'm without 'em, but that's life, y'all

Sometimes you gotta learn to swim with no lifeguard (Yup)

I'm alright, God, shit, I'm still breathin'

But loss hurt like bullets, I'm 'bout to start bleedin'

Throw me down some comfort 'cause my heart need it (Yeah)

Tryna cope but my chances are needle

There's a dark road ahead, but I'm tryin' to take it easy

Rest in peace Lil Beezy, my nigga

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lil Wayne]

Though, though I'm missing you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)

I'll find a way to get through (But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)

I know livin' without ya is impossible (Can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)

And I, I know you gon' live on (Real rap for you)

(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)

'Cause you were my brother (My sister, but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)

And I love ya, and I miss ya, oh-oh (Can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)


[Verse 2]

And now we smoke kush all day and pop painkillers (Yeah)

Fuck who don't understand it, this what the game did us

This what the streets showed us, this how the block made us

The same block where they layed 'em (Damn)

I pray every time I cross the spot on the pavement, save me

Lord, will I be next for the taking? Take me

I know I'm livin' like I know when I'm comin'

But I'm just livin' 'cause I know that it's comin'

And the end is comin', but I ain't runnin', I ain't hidin' and duckin'

I'm in the middle of a war, I'm alive and love it

I'm just speakin' from the heart of the dyin' public

We still beatin', we gon' rise above it

Though it seem like they cheatin' and we losin'

We survive, if nothin'

They could never take the stride from struggling

I gotta ride, and sometimes that ride get bloody

But I just think about my buddy and go after that money

But, uh

[Bridge: Nikki Jean & Lil Wayne]

Oh (Yeah), we gotta get over (Yeah)

We gotta get over, we gotta get over (Yeah)

It's almost over (I said, I said I gotta get over)

And we gon' be alright (I gotta get over)

('Cause, bitch, I'm a soldier)


[Verse 3]

Straight Patrón out the bottle to the head now (Bitch)

We gettin' red now, bitch, my nigga dead now (Bitch)

And all the things I never said, I gotta say it now (Damn)

I shoulda said it then, now I gotta talk to clouds (Damn)

Now I gotta walk around, brim down

Just tryin' to find my way 'til the next day, escape

Your birthday could be your death date

So I'm livin' like it was just yesterday, let's pray

Ten fingers together, can't bring 'em together

It's murda-murda, I don't think it get better

So be a competitor or get out the weather

Me? I got an umbrella and a Beretta (Rah)

I'm just tryin' to make sure my daughter future progressin'

And behind that, I'm shootin' excessive (Bang), trust me (Yeah)

The beautiful dead, we living with the ugly

I just tell my pops, "Wait for me, I'm comin'"

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lil Wayne]

Though, though I'm missing you (Yeah, yeah)

(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)

I'll find a way to get through (But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)

I know livin' without ya is impossible (Can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)

And I, I know you gon' live on (They ask me what's wrong)

(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)

'Cause you were my brother (My sister, but I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)

And I love ya, and I miss ya, oh-oh (Can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)


[Outro]

They ask me why I wear shades at nighttime

(Man, I miss my dawg, I can't believe that it's over)

'Cause I don't wanna see nothin' (But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)

Yeah (Can't stay sober, I'm just tryna get over)

Like I said (Man)

Life ain't nothin' but a long extended road, keep drivin'

(But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get over)

I done passed up plenty people on the side of road, no help

Keep goin', yeah (I'm just tryna get over)

Lost a lot of passengers on the ride, kept goin', yep

(But I'm a soldier, so I gotta get—)

Who knows when I'll run outta gas? Yeah (Over)
