​later not bye

[Voicemail: Brenda]
Tell your dad I said the same thing, and hun
I'm supposed to be going to Houston as soon as the whole check comes in
Um, your mom said she got it- you'll be back Tuesday
Hopefully I'll have it by then so I can bring my car in
If so, I'll give y'all a ride back, I'll let you know
Love you, have a blessed day

[Intro]
I love you forever, I'll never forget anything you ever told me
I promise

[Verse]
You left me out of this world, I ain't gon' lie, cried for three days about it
Nigga play with your name, he gon' die 'bout it
Yeah, my feelings in this cup, I hate to see you cry, mama
(Pff, yeah)
You hate it when we say bye 'cause it's not bye, you always say "Later"
Came to visit you two weeks ago, I wish I would've stayed later
They doubted me from the start, but you always seen greater in me
And I love you with all my heart, you always been there since I was a child
Now you gone and I swear this shit feel so wild
It don't seem real, Brenda, for you I'll kill
It's a lot of pain on my mind
I was always there for you, you was always there for me
Every time I called, I'd never hear the beep
And you know that I'm strong but this shit hurt me
It hurt the whole family, it's just somethin' we can't believe
I had fell to my knees
When I seen you on that floor, wishin' you would breathe
I couldn't believe my eyes, wish I hadn't seen
On Christmas night I ain't get to sleep
Wish I would've stopped by a lil' sooner
Just seen your text, you wanted me to sing for you
Here it go, baby girl, this is all for you
Show you how much I appreciate you, I ain't get to
And I cherish all of them moments that we spent too
You was always that person I could just vent to
And I mean that when I said I would kill for you
'Cause I know for a fact you would do the same too

[Outro]
Can't believe you're gone
I got to stay strong
Can't believe you're gone
I got to stay strong
I got to stay strong, yeah
Can't believe you're gone
