Long Live Spaceman Lyrics
Feels like it's my fault cause I know you had nobody
Fell in love with your daughter, damn my nigga why you ain't call me
Fuck a letter my nigga we need you here, I'm ballin
Crying and crying, I'm trying to be strong
But I just feel weak when I'm hearing your songs
Gotta get it together, I'm not in my zone
I just couldn't believe it, was hitting your phone
Pain inside of your (heart) you covered
Man I feel for you, you was my brother
Straight out the gutter, I love you forever
I'm keeping you going, I'm never gonna stutter
Finding the strength, I just gotta keep going
Pulling my wеight, I just gotta keep towing
Locked in, nigga we laced, sеw ins
Locked in, going to space
Space time
Showing love to whatever you faced
Shining your light on the world
Was a blessing to any who felt out of place
Okay, we gon' be okay though
Gotta make this shit bend like play-doh
Fuck it, I just gotta lay low
These days, it's a battle to stay
Bowin' my head just to pray for my niggas
My niggas be fighting with shit everyday
Only the family, family first
It's a mission that's written in my DNA
Man I promise to keep you alive
Forever I swear I ain't got too much pride
And for Autumn and Winter, I'm down for the ride
Yeah, 555 shit
My nigga brought peace, okay
Nothing but love for the streets, okay
Growing up, he had the least, okay
Chasing the commas with family dramas
But beautiful lessons he preached
It's more than an eye
Niggas really be dying
Bout shit that nobody could see
I'm learning my lessons with mental depression
Checking my niggas, I'm asking them questions
RIP Spaceman, to space you were destined
Till the next time see you in heaven
Feels like it's my fault cause I know you had nobody
Fell in love with your daughter, damn my nigga why you ain't call me
Fuck a letter my nigga we need you here, I'm ballin
Crying and crying, I'm trying to be strong
But I just feel weak when I'm hearing your songs
Gotta get it together, I'm not in my zone
I just couldn't believe it, was hitting your phone
Pain inside of your (heart) you covered
Man I feel for you, you was my brother
Straight out the gutter, I love you forever
I'm keeping you going, I'm never gonna stutter
Finding the strength, I just gotta keep going
Pulling my weight, I just gotta keep towing
Locked in, nigga we laced, sew ins
Locked in, going to space
Space time
Showing love to whatever you faced
Shining your light on the world
Was a blessing to any who felt out of place
