[Chorus]
I can hear you calling now (S-s-saba, you so icy), a year has passed, but
How come I still hear the sound?
'Cause the drugs won't work
And the pain gets worse
I remember seeing you in a hearse
This ain't a blessing, it's a red hot curse
But still got a little time to sing my verse, now
I can hear you calling now, a year has passed, but
How come I still hear the sound?
'Cause the drugs won't work
And the pain gets worse
I remember seeing you in a hearse
This ain't a blessing, it's a red hot curse
But still got a little time to sing my verse, yeah
[Verse 1]
How come they always take the good away?
Somehow I'm feeling even worse than other days
But even though you're thousands of miles away, on a different ethereal plane
Your chords and verses ring right through my brain
And I know I never wanted to see you go
And every night felt so much more damn cold
The stories and things that you would tell
You didn't know us but you wished us well
You left this earth that we call hell
And here now we wish you farewell
[Chorus]
I can hear you calling now, a year has passed, but
How come I still hear the sound?
'Cause the drugs won't work
And the pain gets worse
I remember seeing you in a hearse
This ain't a blessing, it's a red hot curse
But still got a little time to sing my verse, now
I can hear you calling now, a year has passed, but
How come I still hear the sound?
'Cause the drugs won't work
And the pain gets worse
I remember seeing you in a hearse
This ain't a blessing, it's a red hot curse
But still got a little time to sing my verse, yeah
[Verse 2]
The drugs and guns they totin' just fill up their heart with hate
I remember looking at my phone, gun violence took a great
I know some people just do it to put food right on their plate
There's not much that I can say
They just took all my life away
[Chorus]
I can hear you calling now, a year has passed, but
How come I still hear the sound?
'Cause the drugs won't work
And the pain gets worse
I remember seeing you in a hearse
This ain't a blessing, it's a red hot curse
But still got a little time to sing my verse, now
I can hear you calling now, a year has passed, but
How come I still hear the sound?
'Cause the drugs won't work
And the pain gets worse
I remember seeing you in a hearse
This ain't a blessing, it's a red hot curse
But still got a little time to sing my verse, yeah
