[Intro: Q-Tip]
Yeah Phife! For your life!

[Verse One: Q-Tip]
Now in the time when niggas wasn't supposed to be born
Best of us are left for dead, in cities that looks war torn
Vietnam goin' wrong, heroin goin' strong
Neighbors that would whoop that bad ass just for runnin' through their lawn
Walt met Cheryl, Cheryl met Walt
Trinidadian love sproutin' through the asphalt
Love was consummated and the angels registrated
Two were to be born but only one of 'em made it
Inside a cloud of sorrow a silver lining and joy
It's a bouncing baby boy a king's name they would employ
And before he even squeaks, it's decided it's Malik
Now give him hope, give him care, raise him while his grandma there
Watch out mama if you stare light brown eyes'll keep you there
Let's progress the story just a little bit
Malik, I would treat you like little brother that would give you fits
Sometimes overbearing though I thought it was for your benefit
Despite all the spats and shits and ematically documented
The one thing I appreciate you and I we never pretended
Rhymes we would write it out, hard times fight it out
Gave grace face to face, made it right
And now you riding out, out, out, out, damn

[Chorus: Katia Cadet
Have you ever? (My mu'fuckin man!!!)  lost somebody? (Phife Dawg man!!!)
Way before you (Bow wow woof woof) got to dream?

[Verse Two: Jarobi] (Katia Cadet) (*Q-Tip)
Never thought that I would be ever writin' this song (No more crying)
Hold friends tight, never know when those people are gone (He's in sunshine)
So, so beautiful (Uh!) opined indisputable (Yeah!) 
Heart of a largest lion trapped inside the little dude
Took me quick to granny house, now we eat the curry food
Talking hopes, dreams, plans, leak ice, never scared
Brand new pair of Nike Airs, avenue upstairs (Come on!)
Mailbox mayors, all our rhymes was written there
A nigga wanna battle you know Phifey didn't care
Jarobi with the beat, into new ass we tear (Whattup?)
I'm a flash forward well, took a trip to ATL
Cookin' in the kitchen makin' sure my nigga eatin' well
Wedding in Tobago you know exactly where I'm at
Standin' on the side of black Malik Izaak

[Chorus: Katia Cadet]
Have you ever? lost somebody?
Way before you? got to dream?
No more crying, he's in sunshine
He's alright now, see his wings
Have you ever? lost somebody?
Way before you? got to dream?
No more crying, he's in sunshine
He's alright now, see his wings
Have you ever? lost somebody?
Way before you? got to dream?
No more crying, he's in sunshine
He's alright now, see his wings
Have you ever? lost somebody?
Way before you? got to dream?
No more crying....

[Outro: Jack White playing guitar]
