Tell me why
I’m so lost without you
And tell me why
I’m so lost without you

V1 - Jermiside
When I got the news I had the blues
Sad, confused
Wishin I had some clues
So mad that we had to lose
Your life, I wish he woulda took mine if he had to choose
Now I pay homage, nothin is promised
We don’t craft [bad word] Your life was taken, (Mandy?), it hurts in the worst way
And what’s even deeper, I got this beat on your birthday
So I cherish every moment above where the earth lay
Gracious for the good times given, it’s God’s work
Hey, travelin a strange journey with dreams of a (dang gurney?)
Life presentin pain, still I never let the thang burn me
Then my homegirl passed, it’s like a parallel dimension
Brought some things to my attention bout myself (I’d?) fail to mention
Preachin to the heavens tryna get that ill extension
But I know it’s just a matter of time
It made me wondered if our science and ????? invention
I’ll say I love you, hope you hearin this rhyme 
So tell me why

Hook - Sample & Jermiside
Tell me why
I’m so lost without you
No matter how far you go
Know that you’re still with me
No matter how far you go
Know that you’re still with me
And tell me why
I’m so lost without you
No matter how far you go
Know that you’re still with me
No matter how far you go
Know that your’e still with me

V2 - Deacon The Villain
Rivers I do wander
No Rwanda, no Iran
Coulda been dealt the hand of death
But it just wan’t in thy plan
Always had some shelter and some rations in my hand
Didn’t rock the tightest fashion in my Chucks or in my Vans
I was walkin over junkies, everywhere but home
But your teachings were amongst me, never journey streets alone
Though I act just like some monkey, everyday I’m in this tree
You keep the branches strong, cuz everyday I learn y’all (needs?)
Prayin that the god that’s in me is for (wishin?)
Cuz it took the early death of your daughter for my (tuition?)
She opened up my eyes to the wise, gave me [bad word] vision
And though she with our Heavenly Father, I pray she listens
Cuz family has been the canopy that blocks the rain
Cuz candidly I’d lose my sanity and all the pain
Of the world, and though we plan to be all that we can
We all ain’t got ??? kin that’s rooted in my veins 
So..

Tell me why
I’m so lost without you

This is dedicated to all my people who didn’t make it to today.
So many questions, not enough answers, but we’ll get through it.
