[D]　[C#m]　[F#m]　[C#m]

 

[D]Yo, Jam, this is a letter to you　It’s [E]been a

[F#m]while, but it’s been hard for me to get in the [E]booth　

And since we [D]last spoke, I’ve been a father of [C#m]two　

Trying to [F#m]live life with a smile but that’s been [C#m]harder to do　

 

‘Cause [D]all I wanna do is talk about you　But [E]these tears

won’t [F#m]let me talk about you　We should’ve known we’d be [E]lost without you　

[D]Therapy sessions, digging deep in [C#m]depression　

I got a [F#m]life full of blessings [C#m]but this just breaks my fucking heart　

 

[D]At your birthday, couldn’t even [E]crack a smile　

[F#m]I just cried and left the party, Neesh, I’ll see you in a [E]while　

Headed to[D] the mural, got some jerk wings and [C#m]plantain　

‘Cause that [F#m]is the way that me and you would [C#m]celebrate it　

 

I never [D]knew you touched the stuff, ‘cause you’d always bad me [E]up　

You [F#m]saw me more than drunk, you always hated what it [E]does　

[D]Before Lyra I just stopped, I haven’t even wanted [C#m]one　

I can’t get [F#m]over, this is fucked, man I [C#m]wished I’d known　

 

And yo, we [D]cried for nine nights in your family [E]home　

Laid you [F#m]to rest in the ground but without a [E]stone　

You know [D]it hits me most at moments, now when I’m [C#m]alone　

Every [F#m]morning, I remember that you’re really [C#m]gone　

 

‘Cause it’s [D]been a long night and I cry ‘cause I [E]miss my brother　

[F#m]You know for life, got your [E]sis and mother　

[D]And day and night, it [C#m]still hits that you’re gone　

[F#m]And [C#m]right now, I’m spilling tears in my cup　

 

[D]You left the world before you [E]met Jupiter　

[F#m]Wish you’d have known, you [E]would be godfather　

[D]You would’ve [C#m]loved loving my little girls　

[F#m]If not for [C#m]them, I’d be done with the world　

 

[D]Was there two hours after you [E]passed　

[F#m]Speeding east to west, silent in the back of the [E]car　

Was at your [D]mum’s, there all week, trying to make sense but I [C#m]can’t　

[F#m]And although it’s been a year, still feel the pain in my [C#m]heart　

 

‘Cause you [D]were there from the start　The day we [E]met, yeah

I [F#m]moved in and we were never apart　People assumed that we were lovers [E]but we’re

[D]brothers in arms　Symbiotic bond of [C#m]love and gave each

other a [F#m]chance, my [C#m]god　Ah　

 

[N.C]Fuck sake, lately I’ve been [E]crying so much,

[F#m]my lungs [E]ache　

Teardrops all over my shirt like [D]blood stains　And I know to [C#m]heal a heart,

[F#m]it must break　[C#m]But I’m done praying　

 

[D]They gave me a shovel at your burial and [E]watching you get

[F#m]lowered is something I can’t forget [E]at all　

And people [D]find and stop me in the street and say it’s [C#m]terrible　

But [F#m]they don’t know you like I [C#m]knew you and they never will　

 

[D]No one saw the nights turn into day when we were [E]battle rapping　

[F#m]No one saw the belly laugh, and every train to [E]somewhere random　

No one [D]saw the holidays, and then our first [C#m]experience clubbing　

No one [F#m]knew the things you did for me and never [C#m]asked for nothing　

 

No one [D]read the conversations of the moves that we were [E]planning　

No one[F#m] knew about the way you felt the scene, left you [E]abandoned　

No one [D]knew about your fears ‘cause you would hide them with a [C#m]smile　

[F#m]No one knew when people took an inch, you [C#m]would give ‘em a mile　

 

‘Cause that [D]was always Jamal, SB to the [E]crowd　

They [F#m]used to shout your net worth, but they don’t mention it [E]now　

[D]They hear about your good deeds and infectious [C#m]smile　

A golden [F#m]heart that’s still remembered is worth more [C#m]than a crown　

 

I promised [D]sixty-four bars and now I keep it to [E]Tanisha　

Mummy, Issac, [F#m]the gang, but I just wish that you’d [E]seen it　

I can’t [D]accept that you’re gone, or grief [C#m]that I’m feeling　

I prayed to [F#m]God for answers but he still [C#m]won’t give me a reason　

 

I think [D]about you every day, nothing will take [E]this pain away　

[F#m]I’ll keep your legacy amazing, [E]mate　

The [D]conversations at your grave’s the only way to be [C#m]close　

I know you’ll [N.C]greet me with a smile on the day that I go　

 

‘Cause it’s [D]been a long night and I cry ‘cause [E]I miss my brother　

[F#m]And for life, got [E]your sis and mother　

[D]You know I cry ‘cause I [E]miss my

[F#m]brother　My [C#m]brother was
