Intro – Travis Scott (numb, shaken)]
Yeah…
(Huh… yeah…)
Lost my brother to the night, ain’t been right since…
Still hear you breathing when the wind get thin…
Yeah…
⸻
[Hook – Chris Brown (haunted, emotional, cinematic)]
I been tryna keep it together, but the pain don’t stop,
Every tear hit the ground like a shell when it drop.
We were brothers in the storm, never thought you’d fade,
Now I’m talkin’ to your shadow every step I take.
Why you leave me in the dark on this cold, long ride?
I been prayin’ you can hear me from the other side.
You my brother, you my heart, you the blood I trust,
If Heaven ever let you back, I’ma pick you up.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Travis Scott (broken, trippy pain)]
Yeah…
I been stuck in my head, see your face in smoke,
All the memories hit harder when your name get spoke.
You the only one that knew me when the world turned fake,
Now I’m drownin’ in a silence that I can’t escape.
I been ridin’ through the city with your chain on me,
Tryna talk to your ghost when the lights go green.
I been pourin’ out shots, but it don’t hit right,
Cuz the pain comin’ back every time I fight.
You was right by my side when the block got cold,
Now the nights feel long and my heart feel old.
If I ever see the truth, I’ma grab that sign,
But the truth too heavy when it haunt my mind.
⸻
[Pre-Hook – Chris Brown (R. Kelly-style layered pain)]
I been losin’ all control,
Tryna fill this hole…
But the dark keep talkin’ when the nights unfold.
Every whisper sound like you,
Every shadow do too…
And this hurt hit deep when I think it through…

[Hook – Chris Brown (bigger, cinematic, gospel crawling in)]
I been tryna keep it together, but the pain don’t stop,
Every tear hit the ground like a shell when it drop.
We were brothers in the storm, never thought you’d fade,
Now I’m talkin’ to your shadow every step I take.
Why you leave me in the dark on this cold, long ride?
I been prayin’ you can hear me from the other side.
You my brother, you my heart, you the blood I trust,
If Heaven ever let you back, I’ma pick you up.

[Verse 2 – Chris Brown (raw vocals, cracked emotion, Kanye strings swelling)]
Yeah…
I remember every grin, every night we ran,
We were tryna beat the world, you were my right hand.
But the world got cold, and the streets got bold,
And the angels called your name in a voice too old.
How I’m supposed to keep calm when you left mid-life?
I been wrestlin’ this pain like a nonstop fight.
I keep picturin’ the laugh that I’ll never get back,
And the thought cut deep like a knife in my back.
I’ve been screamin’ at the sky, tryna find your glow,
But the clouds talk back and the rain say no.
If the gates ever open and you walk on through,
I’ma run to your arms like I always knew.

[Bridge – Gospel Choir + Travis Ad-libs]
(Choir softly rising)
Bring him home…
Bring him home…
Let him walk with me through this valley alone…
(Chris)
I been breakin’, I been fallin’ through the darkest night,
And the shadows only move when I call you
