Now That You're Gone Lyrics - Smilez & Southstar

[Intro:] 

It's a tough one right here 

A real tough one 

For everybody that lost somebody 

Ya know 

[Chorus:] 

What will I do baby, now that you're gone 

You're gone 

What will I do baby, not that you're gone (Gone) 

You're gone (Gone) 

[Southstar talking over chorus] 

What am I gonna do? 

You know I miss you 

You know I love you ma 

[Smilez (Southstar)] 

Dear mom, I know you're proud your sons doing good (Yeah) 

But I return it all for just one hug ( I would) 

Your oldest son and daughter they doing good 

We all sticking together like we should (Family) 

Introduce me to the lord when I have no cares 

Mad at the world like life ain't fair 

I remember you said only the lord I should fear (I do) 

And with that my stormy weather would be clear 

Lord how could you take somethin' so precious 

Against our prayers, cares, and strong wishes (How could you) 

I know now ma you livin' through your kids 

And if I look at my heart there you is 

I can't believe that you're gone you was my best friend 

My mother my father everything that I am (Word) 

I love you, mom you's my guardian angel 

I can't wait to see your pretty face real soon (Rest in peace) 

[Chorus] 

[Southstar] 

1999, I lost my son 

That day I felt I lost my mind 

Victim of a still birth, man it still hurt 

Until this day memories still lurk (Yeah) 

I think to myself 'bout what could it been (Uh-huh) 

It makes me realize that life is thin 

And I promise that you'll always live on 

Especially, with your name tattooed on my arm 

And Breaks, dog I can't believe that you're gone 

Can't believe I gotta mention your name on this song (Man) 

Seems like yesterday we was jokin' around 

Always had a smile on your face, never a frown (Yeah) 

You told me, "Star keep holdin' it down" 

You got too much talent to be quittin' it now 

So, cause of you I stayed in this game (That's right) 

I'ma make sure no one forgets your name (Rest in peace Breaks) 

[Chorus] 

[Southstar] 

I still don't know how I got by (Uh) 

All of these hard times I took it and strive 

Turn to the pad grab my pen (Uh-huh) 

And said that "I would enjoy my life to the end (That's right) 

And no matter what, I keep my head up 

Pursue my dreams and never get fed up 

So, when I hear this put up my fist (Yeah) 

To let ya know that you'll always be miss (Oh) 

[Smilez] 

It took so long to write these stors 

It's so dang hard to lose a love 

I'm gon' stay strong and pray to the lord 

Cause everything he does is for a cause (Yeah) 

Adam Ikenser, that was my dog (My nigga) 

I won't forget those wild times in football 

You won't be forgotten man, that's for sure 

Pour out a little liquor for all of ya 

[Chorus 2x] 

[Outro:] 

[Southstar and (Smilez) talking in background of chorus] 

Yeah, dedicate this one to my son Malik 

Rest in peace I see you baby 

(Yeah, dedicate this one to my mother Gloria 

I miss you, I miss you) 

To my dog Breaks I knows you're watchin' my back 

I always watch yours, you heard Yeah 

(My man Adam Ikenser and my dog, we all miss you 

Man all your boys miss you know that man, uh)
