Lost Somebody (feat. Katia Cadet)

Yea, Phife

For your life

Now, in the time when niggas wasn't supposed to be born

Best of us are left for dead in cities that looks war-torn

Vietnam going wrong, heroin going strong

Neighbors would whoop that bad ass just for running through their lawn

Walt met Cheryl, Cheryl met Walt

Trinidadian love sprouting through the asphalt

Love was consummated and the angels registrated

Two were to be born but only one of 'em made it

Inside a cloud of sorrow, a silver lining and joy

It's a bouncing baby boy, a king's name they would employ

And before he even squeaks it's decided it's Malik

Now, give him hope, give him care, raise him while his grandma there

Watch out momma, if you stare light brown eyes will keep you there

Let's progress the story just a little bit

Malik, I would treat you like little brother that would give you fits

Sometimes overbearing, though I thought it was for your benefit

Despite all the spats and shits and cinematically documented

The one thing I appreciate, you and I, we never pretended

Rhymes we would write it out, hard times, fight it out

Made grace face to face, made it right

And now you riding out, out, out, out

Damn

Have you ever

Lost somebody

Way before you

Got to dream

Never thought that I would ever be writing this song (No more crying)

Hold friends tight, never know when those people are gone (He's in sunshine)

Soul so beautiful, opined indisputable

Heart of the largest lion trapped inside the little dude

Took the grip to Granny's house, now we eat the curry food

Talking hopes, dreams, plans, leak ice, never scared

Brand new pair of Nike Airs, avenue of stairs

Mailbox mayors, all our rhymes was written there

A nigga wanna battle, you know Phifey didn't care

Jarobi with the beat, into new ass we tear

I'mma flash forward, well took a trip to ATL

Cooking in the kitchen making sure my nigga eating well

Wedding in Tobago, you know exactly where I'm at

Standing on the side of black, Malik Izaak

Lost somebody

Way before y'all

Got to dream

No more crying

He's in sunshine

He's alright now

See his wings

Have y'all ever

Lost somebody

Way before y'all

Got to dream

No more crying

He's in sunshine

He's alright now

See his wings

Have y'all ever

Lost somebody

Way before y'all

Got to dream

No more crying

He's in sunshine

He's alright now

See his wings

Have y'all ever

Lost somebody

Way before y'all

Got to dream

No more crying
