[Verse 1]
C D..Yo Jam, this is a letter to you
Em DIt's been a while, but it's been hard for me to get in the booth
CSince we last spoke, I've become a father of two
Bm C BmTrying to live life with a smile but that's been harder to do
C'Cause all I wanna Do is talk about you
D EmBut these tears won't let me talk about you
D CWe should've known that we'd be lost without you
BmTherapy sessions, digging deep in depression
C Bm CI got a life full of blessings, but this just breaks my ******* heart
DAt your birthday, couldn't even crack a smile
Em DI just cried and left the party, Neesh, I'll see you in a while
C BmHeaded to the mural, got some jerk wings and plantain
C Bm'Cause that is the way that me and you would celebrate it
C DI never knew you touched the stuff, 'cause you'd always bad me up
Em DYou saw me more than drunk, you always hated what it does
C BmBefore Lyra I just stopped, I haven't even wanted one
C BmI can't get over, this is ******, man I wished I'd known
CAnd yo, we cried for nine nights in your family home
D Em..Laid you to rest in the ground but without a stone
D C..You know it hits me most at moments, now when I'm alone
Bm C Bm..Every morning, I remember that you're really gone
[Chorus]
C D Em'Cause it's been a long night and I cry 'cause I miss my brother
D CYou know for life, got your sis and mother
Bm CAnd day and night, it still hits that you're gone
Bm CAnd right now, I'm spilling tears in my cup
D EmYou left the world before you met Jupiter
D CWish you'd have known, you would be godfather
Bm CYou would've loved loving my little girls
BmIf not for them, I'd be done with the world
[Verse]
C D..Was there two hours after you passed
Em DSpeeding east to west, silent in the back of the car
C BmWas at your mum's, there all week, trying to make sense but I can't
C BmAnd although it's been a year, still feel the pain in my heart
C'Cause you were there from the start
D EmThe day we met, yeah I moved in and we were never apart
D CPeople assumed that we were lovers but we're brothers in arms
Bm C BmSymbiotic bond of love and gave each other a chance, my god
C D EmAh, **** sake, lately I've been crying so much, my lungs ache
D CTeardrops all over my shirt like blood stains
Bm CAnd I know to heal a heart, it must break
BmBut I'm done praying
CThey gave me a shovel at your burial and
D EmWatching you get lowered is something I can't forget at all
D CAnd people find and stop me in the street and say it's terrible
Bm C Bm..But they don't know you like I knew you and they never will
C DNo one saw the nights turn into day when we were battle rapping
Em DNo one saw the belly laugh, and every train to somewhere random
C BmNo one saw the holidays, and then our first experience clubbing
C BmNo one knew the things you did for me and never asked for nothing
C DNo one read the conversations of the moves that we were planning
Em DNo one knew about the way you felt the scene, left you abandoned
C BmNo one knew about your fears 'cause you would hide them with a smile
C BmNo one knew when people took an inch, you would give 'em a mile
C D'Cause that was always Jamal, SB to the crowd
Em DThey used to shout your net worth, but they don't mention it now
CThey talk about your good deeds and infectious smile
Bm C Bm..A golden heart that's still remembered is worth more than a crown
C DI promised sixty-four bars and now I keep it to Tanisha
Em DMommy, Isaac, the gang, but I just wish that you'd seen it
C BmI can't accept that you're gone, or the grief that I'm feeling
C BmI prayed to God for answers but he still won't give me a reason
C DI think about you every day, nothing will take this pain away
Em..I'll keep your legacy amazing, mate
D C Bm..The conversations at your grave's the only way to be close
C BmI know you'll greet me with a smile on the day that I go
[Chorus]
C D Em'Cause it's been a long night and I cry 'cause I miss my brother
D CAnd for life, got your sis and mother
Bm CYou know I cry 'cause I miss my brother
Bm C D Em D C Bm C BmMy brother was SBTV............................
