Been such a long time
Since I held you
Oh, remember (Oh, oh)
When you used to talk to me?
All the things you would say made me so strong
And you know what?
I'ma take it and I'ma keep movin' on, yeah
Sometimes I sit back and think about
How it was when I was young
I used to think that it was you I couldn't live without
Somehow life took a sad route
Sometimes the wind blows just bad enough to take a plane down
And stray bullets kill children on playgrounds
Bullshit got me 'bout to smoke a whole pound
Meanwhile, I smile and hope that I can rebound
Somehow the LBC streets ain't the same now
Without you, things ain't the same since you ain't around
But I stay strong, game tight, hold it down
Warren G will never play the background
The song is fucked up 'cause you gone
Ooh, I see you standing there
With the moonlight shining in your hair
Oh, it makes me reminisce
Over and over, again and again
Ooh, I see you standing there
With the moonlight shining in your hair
Oh, it makes me reminisce
Over and over, again and again
Nothing means more to me than family
When one loves, it's sad to see, damaging
A friend you will always be above all things
You taught me to pursue my dreams
What joy it brings at times when I sit and think
And know inside you smile down, proud of me
I just need one more drink (Damn)
At night I can't sleep, I admit that it's hard to eat
It's all good, I ain't trippin'
Tried to show me the right morals and guidelines, but I ain't listen
I'm sittin' here, lavish and livin'
And I'd give it all back 'cause you still missin'
Ooh, I see you standing there
With the moonlight shining in your hair
Oh, it makes me reminisce
Over and over, again and again
Ooh, I see you standing there
With the moonlight shining in your hair
Oh, it makes me reminisce
Over and over, again and again
Lord, please hear me, ease my soul
I woke up one day and my mom was gone
I'm in the zone, wishin' I could call your home
And sing your song, tell you that I'm out on tour
All alone, just needin' to hear your voice on the phone
Mother and son, though I'm grown
And life moves on, I need you, Mom
A quiet storm, differences in right and wrong
As I move on, since Warren G ain't gone
The stitch is on, set the tone
The page I'm on is havin' fun, havin' a ball
Livin' life, I'm still here, wishin' you was home
I just wanna show my love, can I say it?
Ooh, I see you standing there
With the moonlight shining in your hair
Oh, it makes me reminisce
Over and over, again and again
I still see you standing there
With the moonlight shining in your hair
Oh, it makes me reminisce
Over and over, over, over, over
Again and again, I miss you
Oh, Mama, don't worry, Mama, don't worry
Keep it strong, keep movin' on
Keep it strong, movin' it on
Keepin' it strong, movin' it on
Keepin' it strong, movin' it on
Keep it, oh, Mama
Keep it, oh, Mama
Damn, the things you taught me, damn, oh
I promise I'll be the same to your grandchildren
What you were to me, don't worry
I still feel you, Mama, the things you say
I feel you always around me every day
Oh, Mama, oh, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know you're up there, smilin' down at me
