|Verse|
Got my grandpa grind/he ain't stop for shit/leave work at 11/be back at 6/and the mattresses never got touched/he slept on the floor not to wake grandma up/but when grandma up she doing grandma stuff/like telling mama to chill/(yo it ain't that real)/never talked about the past/its cool/cause I learned about they past in school/segregation/great migration/never let em see you sweat/just rose to the occasion/lack of education/yo how they raise a nation/ that ones simple prayer and dedication - honesty loyalty and a whole lot of patience/they did what they could to make sure I'd make it/respect is a gift/best to earn it than to take it/man I really miss those conversations
|chorus|
Things get hard sometimes/I need you alive/but ya gone /and your on my mind/it's so hard not to cry/I need you alive/but ya gone/I really miss those times
|verse|
One uncle a vet from vietnam/always had jokes unless you talking bout his fam/never scare of motherfukas you just wouldn't understand/black as Bernie mac/but he was cool as a fan - my other uncle used to be the man/picked up the Bible and switched up his plans/he showed me how to be one and not to rerun/learn how to create if you tryna leave somethin/learn how to serve you tryna lead somethin/learn how to protect you tryna breed somethin/you know who to call you event need somethin/had a child still labeled me son/I never had a dad but I didn't need him/my uncles and grand father meant I had three of dem/at the dinner table laughing hard while we waitin/man I really miss those conversations
|chorus|
Things get hard sometimes/I need you alive/but ya gone and your on my mind/it's so hard not to cry/I need you alive/but ya gone/I really miss those times

Please make sure that you save a place for me/miss you with all my heart/watch out for me, my wife, my aunt, my mom, Teesha and Kaybree, Jermaine, and Gerard
