Shannon

Though I'm missing you (although I'm missing you)
I'll find a way to get through (I'll find a way to get through)
Living without you
Cause you were my sister
My strength and my pride
Only God may know why (I'm missing you)
Still I will get by

Damn, I wasn't ready to let you go yet
Rest in peace Shannon AKA Shandeezy
You were my ride or die
You were my sister (uh huh)
Damn I miss ya (damn)
Why'd you have to go (why'd you have to go)
When I found out I just yelled no (no)
Now I'm so emotional

We go back to '94 ('94)
And I don't wanna believe it (uh huh)
Never judged and you knew all my secrets (yup)

Always there when I needed
I always kept the heater
When I saw you with that black guy (uh huh)
You told me not to cry (bad)
I was ready to pull it
Bounced out like why the fuck you do this shit (why)
And you said nah sis

He ain't worth it so I let it go
But I stay down for my bitch (uh huh)
And I'ma let you know
Pass one around for my bitch
Breathing that indo smoke
Lord why'd it have to be so short

Lord why'd it have to be my folks (uh uh)
Used to pull up with the drank and the blunt rolled
Tryna better yourself
You wasn't fucking with it no more (no)
Memories are all I got now so I hold on
Reminiscing on the past that I'll never forget (uh uh)
My sister forever (yup)
Irreplaceable (irreplaceable)
Now you're an angel in heaven
I know you'd want me to

Smile for me
Would you just smile for me
Smile for me
Would you just smile for me

Some things done changed since you went away (uh huh)
After you left my granny passed away

I'm finally following my dreams (following my dreams)
And it's all cause you believed in me (I do)
And that's real sis (uh huh)
I think I might really have a chance
To make it (I might have a chance)
I know you're watching over
I can feel your presence (I can feel you)
These 23 years truly were a blessing (blessing)

Still I can't believe you're gone, reminiscing (gone)
On when I used to call you from that payphone (ha ha)

That was back in the day (uh huh)
When we were running the streets and thought we
Knew everything (thought we knew everything)
You were my best friend
I got your name tatted on my wrist (uh huh)
I know you'd do the same if that was
Me in that casket (I know you would)

And I'ma represent til I make it
Til death (til death)
Or as I'm in cause I'ma rep your name
Til the motherfucking end sis (uh huh)

Smile for me
Would you just smile for me

It's gon be some stuff you gon see
That's gon make it hard to smile in the future
But through whatever you see
Through all the rain and the pain
You gotta keep your sense of humor
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
Remember that
Uh, yeah
Uh, just keep your head up
Yeah, yeah
