Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The days are cold, livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growin' older
I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
You may be gone but you're never over
[Verse 2]
If Proof could see me now I know he'd be proud
Somewhere in me deep down, there's somethin' in me he found
That made him believe in me, now no one can beat me now
You try, it'll be them doors on Dre's Phantom, believe me, clowns
[Verse 3]
That means suicide, homie, you'll never throw me
Off of this course, blow me, bitch, I'll do this all for the sport only
But I want it all, I'm not just talkin' awards, homie
And the ball's in my court and it's lonely
On top of the world when you're the only one
[Verse 4]
With the balls in your shorts to leave their jaws on the floors
With no remorse
'Member that when they get to doggin' your boy, homie
So y'all can just get to bloggin' about bologna
I'm not gonna stop, the saga continues, no stoppin' the force, Obi
[Verse 5]
I'm moppin' the floors with 'em, I keep tryna pass it
But they keep on droppin' the torch and it won't be
Long till this sport is O-V-E-R, just Blaze and me
We are knockin' on doors, and no, we ain't pumpkins
On Halloween but we'll show up on your porch
[Verse 6]
So be careful what you say, there ain't no punks over here so follow me
Through the fog like I'm S-N-double-O-P
Let me guide you through the smoke, G
If only I wasn't travelin' down this road by my lonely
No one who knew me like you will ever know me
I don't think you understand how much you meant to me
[Verse 7]
The days are cold, livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growin' older
I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
You may be gone but you're never over
[Verse 8]
And it don't stop, oh, and it don't quit, oh
And it don't stop, oh, and it don't quit, oh
And I miss you, oh, I just miss you, oh
I just miss you, oh, and, homie, I'll never forget you, no
[Verse 9]
For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
So sick it'll blow up the mic, it'll be the dyna-in-mite
Yeah, it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit himself
Tap dancin' all over the beat, it'll jump of the page and spit itself
[Verse 10]
Yes, this the best thing I could do right now, Doody, for you is to rep
So I'm gonna fuck till I die, yeah, I'ma do it to death
And instead of mournin' your death, I'd rather celebrate your life
Elevate to new heights
Step on the gas and accelerate, I'ma need two mics
[Verse 11]
'Cause the way that I'm feelin' tonight, everything I can just do right
There's nothin' that I can do wrong, I'm too strong and I'm just too hype
Just finish the rhyme and bust it, excuse the corny metaphor
But they'll never catch up to all this energy that I've mustered
[Verse 12]
So, God, just help me out while I fight through this grievin' process
Tryna process this loss is makin' me nauseous
But this depression ain't takin' me hostage
I've been patiently watchin' this game
Pacin' these hallways, you had faith in me always
[Verse 13]
Proof, you knew I'd come out this slump, rise form these ashes
Come right back on they asses and go Mike Tyson on these bastards
And I'ma show 'em, blow 'em out of the water, slaughter 'em, homes
I'ma own so many belts only place they can hit me is below 'em
[Verse 14]
Homie, I know I'm never gonna be the same without you
I never would've came in this game, I'm goin' insane without you
Matter fact, it was just the other night, had another dream about you
You told me to get up, I got up, I spread my wings and I flew
[Verse 15]
You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
You told me nah, Doody, you're not, layin' on that table I knew
I was gonna make it soon as you said, think of Hailie, I knew
There wasn't a way that I was ever gonna leave them babies and, Proof
[Verse 16]
Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you
Lord, I'm so thankful, please don't think that I don't feel grateful, I do
Just grant me the strength that I need for one more day to get through
So, homie, this is your song, I dedicate this to you
I love you, Doody
[Verse 17]
The days are cold, livin' without you
The nights are long, I'm growin' older
I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
You may be gone but you're never over
[Verse 18]
And it don't stop, oh, and it don't quit, oh
And it don't stop, oh, and it don't quit, oh
And I miss you, oh, I just miss you, oh
I just miss you, oh, and, homie, I'll never forget you, no
