[Intro: The Notorious B.I.G. & Lil Cease]
Fam, you know what I'm sayin? (No doubt, man)
The motherfuckin shit just get me so motherfuckin' mad
‘Cause, you know, that was my nigga, you know
And like, I had just got the nigga Puff card and shit (Yeah)
I knew the shit was 'bout to go down
And my man was like hyping me
Like, everywhere we go, me and O (Pluggin' it)
Me and O be together, and the nigga be like
"Watch, I'm tellin' you, when my man get on, it's gonna be some shit"
"We ain't gonna have to sell this shit no more, I'm tellin' you" (Aight?)
And the nigga just got moked out like that, man (Tch)
Tch, that shit fucked me up, man
(That shit fucked a whole lot of niggas up, man)
Yo, man, I loved that nigga O too (On God)
That was my motherfuckin' heart
Yeah, dedicating this to my nigga O
We miss you, nigga
Going out to all the young niggas that died in the struggle
Word up, shit is real in the field
You know, sparkin' blunts to all you niggas, word up
[Bridge: 112]
Each and every day
Daydreams of how we used to be
See your family
And that baby's lookin' just like you
Why'd you go away?
I've been missin' you lately
Tell me what you're going through, oh yeah (Uhh, uhh)
[Verse 1: The Notorious B.I.G.]
I remember sellin' three bricks of straight flour
Got my man a beat down to the third power
He didn't care, spent the money in a half hour
Got some fishscale, reigned on competition like a shower
Got the coke cooked up, a crackhead Kevin
In '88 when Kane ruled with Half Steppin'
A .38, a lot of mouth was our only weapon
We was kings 'til the D's crept in and now I'm missin' him
[Chorus: 112]
Ooh, I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)
Tell me why the road turns, why it turns
Ooh, I'm missin' you (Missin' you)
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh tell me why why why why (Uhh)
[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G.]
We work all week, weekends we play the movies
We rocked flattops, our girls rocked doobies
Made a killin' even though the D's knew me
Eventually, you know they try to do me, fuck it!
Fed up, my nigga want to take it down South
Sick of cops coming, sick of throwing jacks in his mouth
Gave him half my paper, told him, "Go that route!"
Few months, he got his brains blown out, now I'm stressed
His baby's mother, she trippin', blamin' me
And his older brothers understand the game it be
Kind of topsy-turvy; you win some, you lose some
Damn, they lost a brother, their mother lost a son
Fuck, why my nigga couldn't stay in N.Y.?
I'm a thug, but I swear for three days I cried
I look in the sky and ask God why
Can't look his baby girls in the eye – damn, I'm missin' him
[Chorus: 112]
Ooh, I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)
Tell me why the road turns, why it turns
(Tell me, tell me why)
Ooh, I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh tell me why why
(Tell me, tell me why) why why
[Verse 3: The Notorious B.I.G.]
There was this girl around the way that made cats drool
Her name Drew, played fools out their money in pool
People swore we was fuckin', but we was just cool
She used to hang while I slang my drugs after school
She watched my bomb, help my moms with the groceries
My little sister, the girl was kind of close to me
A little closer than the average girl's supposed to be
Far from a lover, my girl was jealous of her
Then she started messin' with some major players
Handled ki's, niggas called them the Bricklayers
A dread kid, had a baby 'fore that bitch Taya
Found out her baby's father cheating, now Drew, she got to slay her
One night, across from the corner store
Taya ran around the block with a chrome .44
Squeezed all six shots in the passenger door
The dude lived – what my baby had to die for? I'm missin' her
[Chorus: 112]
Ooh, I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)
Tell me why the road turns, why it turns
(Tell me, tell me why, ooh)
Ooh, I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh tell me why why why why (Oh God tell me why)
Ooh, I'm missin' you (Tell me, tell me why)
Tell me why the road turns, why it turns (Ooh ooh)
Ooh, I'm missin' you (Missin' you)
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oh tell me why why why why
Ooh, I'm missin' you
Tell me why the road turns, why it turns
Ooh, I'm missin' you
