Little Brother - Away from Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Big Pooh]Aiyyo, what up Reese? It's been a minute since we last spokeSide by side, in a circle round mad folksWe took it round each other wishing we were still closeBut I'm grown and it's tough for you to swallowI know it hit you hard when your boys hit youAnd your lovers, I never glance back toEven though life keep me racing like a track dudeI bailed out in your time of needBut you *****ed me over in your time of greedWe from the same womb, what happened to the creed?An unspoken word between you and IJ-B's for life, we ain't supposed to cryRemember after my first fight, we stayed up all nightGetting taught how to throw them thangsIf he defeat I, it's the force you bringHarassing Kevin after lunch for about a weekHow did we get to the point when we would hardly speak?Pulling up to the house, fresh change of sneaksBig buckets, pants stay tight from the big ducketsWe all loved it, I was so naiveBig brother kept me smiling, tricks up his sleeveHad me facing claves, cases and stacks of threesMy God, it ain't what it supposed to beBarbeques, family and friends close to me[Hook: Big Pooh and Phonte]Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in a whileIt's kinda foul cause a nigga getting older, ain't no time for you nowWishing you was right here so I could hold you now(You're so far away from me)Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in a whileIt's kinda foul, cause you getting older and now I'm missing your smileAnd we went our separate ways, ain't no problems now(You're so far away from me)Cause one day we gon' still get downWe gon' still get downGet-get-a-get-get downGet-get-a-get-a-get-get downGet to get, yo say, get to get downOne day we gon' still get down(You're so far away from me)Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in a whileIt's kinda foul cause a nigga getting older, ain't no time for you nowWishing you was right here so I could hold you nowCause one day, we gon' still get down(You're so far away from me)[Verse 2: Phonte]Check it, now what the deal baby? I'm still here, still crazyI'm real sorry we ain't had a chance to chill latelyOr even talk as often now, congratulationsThey telling me you almost walking nowRoads of life I'm crossing nowCan't wait to get you back to NC so we can all get downAnd get real tight, have you dressed up rocking the ill NikesShow you what a father is supposed to feel likeIt's been nights that I wake up thinking that I hear youBack of my mind start feeling fearfulThinking if the words I say are really getting to youAnd when I hold you in my arms if my face look familiar to youThat shit is killing me dude, I pray that your eyes remember meBlack and white is all you can see in infancyAnd eventually I'll have you on some comfortable shitTwo parent income, Claire and Cliff Huxtable shitBut right now it's all about this long distanceAll I can do is get along with it, try and be strong with it***** being long windedHearing you laugh is like music to my ears but the song endedMe and your moms both missing your smile and all your silly facesEven your hurl on our pillowcasesGoddamn it, this ain't how life supposed to beCause baby boy, you should be close to me, now run it down[Hook][Outro: Phonte]Yo, this one is for our peoples that is out thereWe just want you to know y'all ain't forgot thereOh yeah, we hearing y'all, and yeah, we feeling y'all(You're so far away from me)And yo, this one is for my peoples that is out thereAnd Little Dil and Little Jordan ain't forgot thereOh yeah, we hearing y'all, and yeah, we feeling y'all(You're so far away from me)And yo, this one is for my peoples that is out thereTyree R.I.P., you ain't forgot thereAnd yo, I'm hearing y'all, and yeah, we feeling y'all(You're so far away from me)
