Lost Somebody Songtext / Lyric

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
