[Intro: Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”]
“Every time”
“We say goodbye”

[Hook: Shadowstar Boxer and (Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”)]
And we miss you
(“Every time”)
And we miss you
(“We say goodbye”)

[Verse 1: Shadowstar Boxer]
Yo, first quarter, and it’s like I’m playing the last half
But haven’t seen a reason to be ashamed of my past
Especially since you’re in it with the light like
My life was a tunnel vision of night and you found your way
Without a semblance of effort. Remembrance
Is lesser but it’s all that I have—can’t forget her
I mean you. Sorry that time made you invisible
Never got the chance to see eye-to-eye into you
We talked whenever you could find the fortitude
Never often enough but it’s what life afforded you
Love like a rebel holding a village down on your ones
But it’s a goodbye, and now the sun’s missing
A couple of sparkles, water’s missing a ripple or two
You left behind a couple of thoughts of getting to you
Plus some little ones. I can’t imagine what is life
When I’m knowing that, yo, we’ll be missing your magic
I still remember the smell of homemade bread permeating
The walls over that melodious tread of little feet
The secrets that I promise to keep will be the
Nails in my coffin that follow me deep into the
Mother of a mother and a lover of me, a friend
I never expected to have or see during
A period the whole world was mad at me, and I’ve
Gotta say (“Goodbye”). It’s sad to see but damn

[Hook: Shadowstar Boxer and (Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”)]
(“Every time”)
(“We say goodbye”)
And we miss you
(“Every time”)
And we miss you
(“We say goodbye”)

[Verse 2: Shadowstar Boxer]
Never got to be a family friend, wasn’t your man
Never had a kid with you, but it wasn’t bad. We were
Good at the long-distance, solid friendship
Even saw you coked-up once and never did shit
But show love. Arizona, saw you happier than ever
The man you attached to, we had to be hero
‘Cause I had never seen you so delighted
Even over the custody battles that you were fighting, and the
Drugs and the ups and downs, we stayed with you
Anything you wanted, we would give you, and now we has
To miss you. I did Kwame—he’s the one who had to
Try and say (“Goodbye”) while he was with you
I’m being a little selfish, wishing I wasn’t
Helpless. When I needed help, came in a text, shit
I didn’t catch it in my dreams, and it was, like
5:30AM, so it went, like, five more
Hours, then I finally woke, but it was too late
I text back, and the response was a big
Wakeup call from your man telling me that you had passed
On in his own hands or maybe before because
He found you alone with your face in the floor, nothing
Around you and nobody to help you at all, but you’re
Worth more, so I’m making my eyes dry to properly
Say the (“Goodbye”). My lady, now fly

[Outro: Shadowstar Boxer and (Sample from “Everytime We Say Goodbye”)]
And we miss you
(“I die a little”)
