Jay-Z:
Every time the guns go blast
Another day goes past
I don't miss my dogs
I'm wishing the days could go fast
So I can crash, close my eyes
Try to go to sleep and bring you back
But I can't bring you back
No, can't bring you back
So I back back memories of us acting bad
Wish time could freeze but our time is up
And I promise you I'ma hold it down till it's my time to leave
And I'm OK
I mean I'm alright, I'm not OK
And it hurts my soul I won't see your face
But if you truly are in a better place
Like what they say then it's ok, I'll be alright
I've been up all night like if I didn't with my nigga to be living with the time tick-tick-ticking away
So forever I'm forever in search of yesterday (Yesterday)
Yesterday, like The Beatles' song
I close my eyes, repeat the song
Tryn'a bring us back to where we belong
Middle of the club when B was on
I tear when I hear the song
Blowing on stank like Cheech and Chong
Going back before
So when I meet the don you should know
I meet way back with my dog when I go
So when times says goodbye y'all say hello
Mariah:
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye
And you never got a chance
To see how good I've done
And you never got to see me
Back at number one
I wish that you were here
To celebrate together
I wish that we could spend
The holidays together
I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact
You're gone forever
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life rolls on I
Wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world
To see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do
Is say bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye
This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby,
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up hi
We will never say bye
Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers,
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost they grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye
Never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life rolls on I
Wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world
To see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do
Is say bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye…
