[Intro]
Yeah
I still hear you, bro
This for you
Eighty 8 forever
[Verse 1]
You was big bro and my friend in one
Taught me how to take a hit
Never turn and run
Said, “J , we gonna be straight”
Now I’m staring at your jersey
Hanging folded on my chest
Mom’s tryna smile
But her hands still shake
I pour a lil on the pavement
Every birthday cake
They said time heal
I ain’t seen that yet
I just scroll through old pics
Tryna hear you in my head
[Chorus]
I been missin my brother, yeah, it’s eating me up
Got your name on my arm when I’m keepin it tucked
Every win that I get, feel like it’s half of a dub
Cuz you not in the crowd showin love
Eighty 8, you the one I still call in my mind
When I’m lost, when I’m hurt, when I’m fallin behind
If they ask who I ride for, I don’t hesitate
Every breath that I take
For my brother, Eighty 8
[Verse 2]
Remember late nights
You was sliding in the ride
Told me, “Never trust a soul
’Less they willing to divide”
You was fresh, you was fly
But you gave me your last
Put some gas in my dreams
When I ain’t have cash
Now the chair at the table got a shadow on it
Mama set an extra plate
Then she catchin it, vomit
Cuz the pain too raw
And the house too quiet
I put your chain on my neck
Just to fight that silence
I be talkin to the sky like, “You hear me or what?”
Got this anger in my chest
Got this hole in my gut
If I make it where we planned
Know I’m breakin that gate
Tell the angels make room
For my brother, Eighty 8
[Chorus]
I been missin my brother, yeah, it’s eating me up
Got your name on my arm when I’m keepin it tucked
Every win that I get, feel like it’s half of a dub
Cuz you not in the crowd showin love
Eighty 8, you the one I still call in my mind
When I’m lost, when I’m hurt, when I’m fallin behind
If they ask who I ride for, I don’t hesitate
Every breath that I take
For my brother, Eighty 8
[Bridge]
You ain’t gone
You just outta my reach (yeah)
Every lesson that you gave
That’s the way that you speak (uh)
When I feel like I’ma break
Hear you tellin me “wait”
“Hold it down, lil bro
We gon’ still be straight” (still be straight)
[Chorus]
I been missin my brother, yeah, it’s eating me up
Got your name on my arm when I’m keepin it tucked
Every win that I get, feel like it’s half of a dub
Cuz you not in the crowd showin love
Eighty 8, you the one I still call in my mind
When I’m lost, when I’m hurt, when I’m fallin behind
If they ask who I ride for, I don’t hesitate
Every breath that I take
For my brother, Eighty 8
