[Emcee(s): Shadowstar Boxer]

[Producer(s): The Deity Complex]

[Intro: Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”]

“Every time”

“We say goodbye”

[Hook: Shadowstar Boxer and (Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”)]

And we miss you

(“Every time”)

And we miss you

(“We say goodbye”)

[Verse 1: Shadowstar Boxer]

Yo, first quarter, and it’s like I’m playing the last half

But haven’t seen a reason to be ashamed of my past

Especially since you’re in it with the light like

My life was a tunnel vision of night and you found your way

Without a semblance of effort. Remembrance

Is lesser but it’s all that I have—can’t forget her

I mean you. Sorry that time made you invisible

Never got the chance to see eye-to-eye into you

We talked whenever you could find the fortitude

Never often enough but it’s what life afforded you

Love like a rebel holding a village down on your ones

But it’s a goodbye, and now the sun’s missing

A couple of sparkles, water’s missing a ripple or two

You left behind a couple of thoughts of getting to you

Plus some little ones. I can’t imagine what is life

When I’m knowing that, yo, we’ll be missing your magic

I still remember the smell of homemade bread permeating

The walls over that melodious tread of little feet

The secrets that I promise to keep will be the

Nails in my coffin that follow me deep into the

Mother of a mother and a lover of me, a friend

I never expected to have or see during

A period the whole world was mad at me, and I’ve

Gotta say (“Goodbye”). It’s sad to see but damn

[Hook: Shadowstar Boxer and (Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”)]

(“Every time”)

(“We say goodbye”)

And we miss you

(“Every time”)

And we miss you

(“We say goodbye”)

[Verse 2: Shadowstar Boxer]

Never got to be a family friend, wasn’t your man

Never had a kid with you, but it wasn’t bad. We were

Good at the long-distance, solid friendship

Even saw you coked-up once and never did shit

But show love. Arizona, saw you happier than ever

The man you attached to, we had to be hero

‘Cause I had never seen you so delighted

Even over the custody battles that you were fighting, and the

Drugs and the ups and downs, we stayed with you

Anything you wanted, we would give you, and now we has

To miss you. I did Kwame—he’s the one who had to

Try and say (“Goodbye”) while he was with you

I’m being a little selfish, wishing I wasn’t

Helpless. When I needed help, came in a text, shit

I didn’t catch it in my dreams, and it was, like

5:30AM, so it went, like, five more

Hours, then I finally woke, but it was too late

I text back, and the response was a big

Wakeup call from your man telling me that you had passed

On in his own hands or maybe before because

He found you alone with your face in the floor, nothing

Around you and nobody to help you at all, but you’re

Worth more, so I’m making my eyes dry to properly

Say the (“Goodbye”). My lady, now fly

[Outro: Shadowstar Boxer and (Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”)]

And we miss you

(“I die a little”)
