[Intro: Jean Grae]
Someday, I’ll see you, be with you again
Can’t believe how I miss you, I’m there ‘til the end

[Verse: Jean Grae]
Demetrius, I had
To say something. My brain is stained with you
I don’t even think I can explain how much I miss you
Your tears frame the page, my faith is outlined in chalk
The other day, I freaked out on the street—someone walked like you walked. It took
A second not to think it was you, then everything crashed down
I don’t understand how God picks who he’s gonna snatch out
Before you hit the ground, I hope you passed out. I wish I could
Run up in Heaven with gats, find you, and blast us out
I can’t find your brother, I heard he’s with your grandmother
I spent two weeks on 411, trying to find the phone number
I didn’t go to your wake, got the call too late
And after I found out, I spent a month in my room and never opened the drapes
I didn’t get to say goodbye. It’s not fair
I hope you had fun in Miami, it seemed like you were meant to be there
My family talked about you often, I can’t think of you in a coffin
Pardon the random thoughts. When I speak of you, I get
Lost in memories. The intensity of losing you is like
A thousand degrees in the desert with no sight of water or trees
I dream of an oasis, seen you in a hundred faces
Hear you in music, think you’re partying in different places
Like your favorite, I guess. Sometimes, it snows in April
Your fate will never be forgiven, I’m cursing every religion
My heart is always with you, and anyone that I love will have to know
A part of me can’t go to them ‘cause it’s above. I miss you
