Away From Me - Little Brother

[Verse 1: Rapper Big Pooh]
Aiyyo, what up Reese?
It's been a minute since
we last spoke Side by side,
in circle round mad folks
We took it round each other wishing
we were still close But I'm grown
and it's tough for you to swallow
I know it hit you hard when your boys
hit you And your lovers,
I never glance back to Even though
life keep me racing like a track dude
I bailed out in your time of need
But you fucked me over in your time of greed
We from the same womb,
what happened to the creed?
An unspoken word between you
and I J-B's for life,
we ain't supposed to cry Remember
after my first fight,
we stayed up all night Getting
taught how to throw them
thangs If he defeat I,
it's the force you bring Harassing Kevin
after lunch for about a week
How did we get to the point when
we would hardly speak?
Pulling up to the house,
fresh change of sneaks Big buckets,
pants stay tight from the big duckets
We all loved it, I was so naive Big brother
kept me smiling, tricks up his sleeve Had me facing claves, cases and stacks of threes My God,
it ain't what it supposed to be Barbeques,
family and friends close to me

[Chorus]
Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in
a while It's kinda foul
cause a nigga getting older,
ain't no time for you now
Wishing you was right here so
I could hold you now
(You're so far away from me)
Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in
a while It's kinda foul,
cause you getting older
and now I'm missing your smile
And we went our separate ways,
ain't no problems now Cause one day,
we gon' still get down
(You're so far away from me)
Get-get-a-get-get down
Get-get-a-get-a-get-get down
Get to get, yo say, get to get
(You're so far away from me)
Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in
a while It's kinda foul
cause a nigga getting older,
ain't no time for you now
Wishing you was right here so
I could hold you now
Cause one day we gon' still get down
(You're so far away from me)

[Verse 2: Phonte]
Check it, now what the deal baby?
I'm still here, still crazy I'm real sorry
we ain't had a chance to chill lately
Or even talk as often now,
congratulations They telling me
you almost walking now Roads of life
I'm crossing now Can't wait to get you back
to NC so we can all get down
And get real tight, have you dressed up
rocking the ill Nikes Show you what
a father is supposed to feel like
It's been nights that I wake up thinking
that I hear you Back of my mind
start feeling fearful Thinking
if the words I say are really getting to you
And when I hold you in my arms
if my face look familiar to you
That shit is killing me dude,
I pray that your eyes remember me Black
and white is all you can see in embassy
And eventually I'll have you on some
comfortable shit Two parent income,
Claire and Cliff Huxtable shit But right now it's all about this long distance All I can do is get along with it, try and be strong with it Fuck being long winded Hearing you laugh is like music to my ears but the song ended Me and your moms both missing your smile and all your silly faces Even your hurl on our pillowcases Goddamn it, this ain't how life supposed to be Cause baby boy, you should be close to me, now run it down

[Chorus]
Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke
in a while It's kinda foul,
cause you getting older and now
I'm missing your smile
And we went our separate ways,
ain't no problems now
Cause one day, we gon' still get down
(You're so far away from me)
Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in
a while It's kinda foul
cause a nigga getting older,
ain't no time for you now
Wishing you was right here so
I could hold you now
(You're so far away from me)
Cause one day we gon' still get down
Get-get-a-get-get down
Get-get-a-get-a-get-get down
Get to get, yo say, get to get down
One day we gon' still get down
(You're so far away from me)
Aiyyo, I know we ain't spoke in
a while It's kinda foul,
cause you getting older and now
I'm missing your smile
And we went our separate ways,
ain't no problems now
Cause one day, we gon' still get down
(You're so far away from me)
