I Need You (feat. Keva Soulily) [Local Astronauts Remix Instrumental]

I swear the whole world could hear my heartbeat

One time for the queens that's gone
Tho you're not here still your memory's strong
2 times for the Queens that's gone
Voice in my head playing on and on

I can still hear you

Hey mom, you've been on my mind
You're not gone, just lost in space and time
And I hope your fine

Cause yo I been a mess, sleeping less, be depressed
Momma what is heaven like how are people dressed?
Do you miss us like we miss you
Did you, feel me and sisters tears when we prayed over you
You free now, no more pain no more chains
Is grandpa with you? Does he know your name?
Wanna say so many things, but there's not enough words
To say how much I love how much it effin hurts
To not hear your voice on my birthday or my worse day
Mama, the face I saw on my first day
Food in my bell, breath in my lungs
My mother, sweeter than some peppermint gum
I need a sign are you next to the benevolent ones
Transitioned the same week I had my 4th son
Are your souls intertwined when he whine is it you?
Calling out my name telling me what to do?
I miss our horror movie marathons, Imma carry on
Make you hear me in heavens every time that I perform
Just keep a warm plate at the table when I see you
Even when if she gone a momma love never leave you

I still hear you

My moms names Elaine, beauty and brains
when I was young she didn't drive, we always on the train
Born in fort Greene, a Brooklyn queen
Yo her smile still the flyest thing that I ever seen
If dough was low, didn't know it mom made a way
Cut my hair herself on barbershop days we couldn't pay
Lil problem with the yay, yeah she had habits
At the time both my parents were bad addicts
Used wondered if she love us when the drugs had her cuffed
Locked up for months we were kids it was rough
Felt like i didn't do enough make her stay home
Collect from I love you more on the from a pay phone

I can still hear YOU
I can hear you
(Yeah yeah yeah) Calling me

If you still have a moms, treat her like she's heaven sent
You know I Saved every letter that you ever sent
Left some sealed so I can feel like you wrote it
After you were gone cause I knew there'd be a moment
You'd be gone to a better place, so they say
Tho I pray you'd be here til I was old and gray
Show me the way to communicate, through the gates
Was it really your time or did death ricochet?
Last words that you told me was you'll be ok
Kiss the baby for you send pics your way
Didn't know that was the last time we would speak in the physical
Even in the essence you still create miracles.

I still hear you
You gave me the Kiss of Life
You gave me the Kiss of Life
I love you mom
Hey son, this is your mama
I don't want nothing
I'm just calling to let you know that I love you, bye

Hey son, just calling to tell you happy Father's Day
And I love you and I'm a proud mama
Cause you're a good daddy
I love you, bye

There's not one day
That I don't think of you
Guess I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes all of this it seems... unreal

Hello son, this is your mother
By the way, don't forget to take out those sucker MC's today
Love ya, bye
