Just To Say You Love Me

[Verse 1]
We're gather today so we can mourn a loss
Light up, shares a draft, crackle with your 40’s tops
I hate to come across as grim and dramatic
But I'm running out of who thought it would be him in this casket
Man, does heaven have alcohol? I bet it does
Let me find a diet bar, I'm too old for the 27 Club
I played my sister 311 ‘cause her name is Amber
That song was Amber, played in remembrance of
I tell my mama she can deal the spade
She hugs me, said she loves me
That be thе part that I really cave
Tears flowing likе they can’t stop
I can't believe it's my Aunt Lee, Aunt Paula, and grandpop
Catch me at a concert, packed to capacity
Worth with the freestyle, it's whatever just mashed to be
Mac Miller's headlining, first he puts a battle on
PH, the host of a classic: Bender and Caddy Ron
See life has taught me lessons, despite my senioritis
Props to God, I fought the odds like a Leonidas
Down to kneel before my king like I was being knighted
If you feel torn apart, just know that I've been reunited

[Chorus: Tarra Layne]
I don't wanna go, be that as it may
I know I can't stay, so send me on the way
I close my eyes for good, it might not be today
If I know I can’t stay, send me on the way

[Verse 2]
I lost childhood rivals, lost homies I’m tight with
Seen as the zombie apocalypse, the opioid crisis
Keith done kicked his addiction, he conquered his demons
Heart attack in his 40s, he was going to a meeting
Different rappers I built with, after parties we rock
Drinking buddies I'd hang with, the hardest was Doc
Icy driving conditions, kindergarten I taught
Lost a best-friend in 20, when DiMarco was shot
They told me be positive, I was trying to move on
Pops was hospital-bound, like it’s time to be strong
It was doctored infection, I was right all along
He died when I was just finishing up writing this song
You can keep your condolences, I'm sick of the masses
I'm tired of cheers, and everyone tipping my glasses
Sick of having these songs form the Christians and Catholics
They were a heart of gold, now you just sift through the ashes

[Chorus: Tarra Layne]
I don't wanna go, be that as it may
I know I can’t stay, so send me on the way
I close my eyes for good, it might not be today
If I know I can't stay, send me on the way

[Verse 3]
Flood the internet, hit social media
Share any positive status that's showing me some love
Tell some intimate moments, speak on personal stories
It's sad to discuss me, it's worse to ignore me
Play my CDs, put my face on a tee
Throw a battle event, put my face on a screen
Let me see all the people I was able to reach
Take the center, I bust, make an angel of me
Give my son my inheritance, since I won't be there for him
If you love me in life, when you see him, take care of him
Tell Jess that I love her, tell her that she inspired me
Tell Dillon I'll miss him, help Zach with sobriety
Let my students know that Mr. Weller gave his all
Graph artists can use my name when they paint a wall
Maybe I sound like a cynic, it ain't my fault
All the wakes that I've been to has been a wakeup call

[Chorus: Tarra Layne]
I don't wanna go, be that as it may
I know I can't stay, so send me on the way
I close my eyes for good, it might not be today
If I know I can't stay, send me on the way
