Lost Somebody

Yea, Phife
 For your life
 Now, in the time when niggas wasn't supposed to be gone
 That's the place left for dead, and cities end up war-torn
 Vietnam going wrong, heroin going strong
 Neighbors would whoop that ass just for running through their lawn
 Watch that shallow shallow man walk
 Trinidadian love sprout into 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, the silver lining and joy
 It's a bouncing baby boy, a king's name they would enploy
 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 mama, if you stare [?] keep him there
 Let's progress the story just a little bit
 Malik, I would treat you like little brother that would give you fist
 Sometimes overbearing, though I thought it was for your benefit
 Despite all the spastic shit and cinematic we documented
 The one thing I appreciate, you and I, we never pretended
 Rhymes we would write it out, hard times, fight it out
 Made race face to face, made it right
 And now you riding out, out, out, out
 Damn
 Have you ever
 Lost somebody
 (Phife dawg, man)
 Way before you
 (Bow wow, woof woof)
 Got to dream
 No more crying
 He's in sunshine
 Never thought that I would ever be writing this song
 Hold friends tight, never know [?]
 Soul so beautiful, [?] 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, I's never scared
 Brand new pair of Nike Airs, avenue upstairs
 Mailbox, bears, all our rhymes was never 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
 Have you ever
 Lost somebody
 Way before you
 Got to dream
 No more crying
 He's in sunshine
 He's alright now
 See his wings
 Have you ever
 Lost somebody
 Way before you
 Got to dream
 No more crying
 He's in sunshine
 He's alright now
 See his wings
 Have you ever
 Lost somebody
 Way before you
 Got to dream
 No more crying
 He's in sunshine
 He's alright now
 See his wings
 Have you ever
 Lost somebody
 Way before you
 Got to dream
 No more crying
