Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Each and everyday

Daydreams of how we used to be

See your family

And that baby's lookin' just like you

But you're gone, away

I've been missin' you lately

Tell me what you're goin' through

Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

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 fish scale

Rained on competition like a shower

Got the coke cooked up

A crackhead, Kevin

In '88, when Kane ruled

With half steppin'

A thirty-eight, a lot of mouth

Was our only weapon

We was kings till the D's crept in

And now I'm missin' 'em

[Verse 3]

I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)

Tell me why the road turns

Why it turns

I'm missin' you (Missin' you)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Oh, tell me, why, why, why, why?

[Verse 4]

We work all week

Weekends, we play the movies

We rock flattops

Our girls rock doobies

Made a killin'

Even though the D's knew me

Eventually, you know

They tried to do me, fuck it

Fed up, my **** want to

Take it down south

Sick of cops comin'

Sick of throwin' 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 mother

She trippin', blamin' me

And his older brothers

Understand the game it be

Kinda topsy turvy

You win some, you lose some

Damn, they lost a brother

They mother lost a son

Fuck, why my ****

Couldn't stay in NY?

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

[Verse 5]

I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)

Tell me why the road turns

Why it turns

I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Oh, tell me, why, why, why, why?

[Verse 6]

There was this girl around the way

That made cats drool

Her name Drew

Played fools out they money in pool

People swore we was fuckin'

But we was just cool

She used to hang while I slang

My joints after school

She'd watch my bomb

Help my moms with the groceries

My little sister

The girl was kinda 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 keys, **** called them

The Bricklayers

A dread kid

Had a baby 'fore that bitch Taya

Found out her baby father cheatin'

Now Drew, she gotta slay her

One night

Across from the corner store

Taya ran around the block

With a chrome four-four

Squeezed all six shots

In the passenger door

The dude lived

What my baby had to die for?

I'm missin' 'em

[Verse 7]

I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)

Tell me why the road turns

Why it turns

I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Oh, tell me, why, why, why, why?

[Verse 8]

I'm missin' you

Tell me why the road turns

Why it turns

I'm missin' you (Missin' you)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Oh, tell me, why, why, why, why?

[Verse 9]

I'm missin' you

Tell me why the road turns

Why it turns
