Rakim - Dedicated lyrics

rate me

(You and me) You and me

(We used to be together) used to be

(Everyday together) everyday

(Always) always

You was there from the beginning all I had to do was to vibe

In a race against millions where the loser die

No rules apply but you was my safe haven

At the end of the race waiting so I used your guide

I found heaven in you, you shared your life with me

Gave me insight, way before the light hit me

It's more than just a bond 'cause we inseparable

Even when they cut the cord on the umbilical

Never more than a moment away

You fixed whatever was wrong and always know what to say

The same way to my sisters and brothers

Always honest and showed me what unconditional love is

The voice of a goddess, and stars twinkle in your eyes

My heaven on earth or an angel in disguise

If you was here, I'd just hug and kiss you

Cause a million word can't explain how much I miss you

You and me

We used to be together

Everyday together

Always

I watched the lady shine and stay on the grind

While the world weighed heavy on a ladies mind

It was a crazy time

It's like the world stopped fast when pops passed in '89

Harder we cried the harder you cried too

My father kept your blue skies blue

It's hard to keep going, the harder you try too

At January 18th part of you died too

You tried to be stronger keep the fam together

You said we had to keep on and plan for better

While you smile with your open arms

It took awhile to die-tect your broken heart

You said it takes some time take it slow

But time will take it's toll and the stakes is high 'til the day you die

But I refused to accept eventually that I would have to say goodbye

You and me, We used to be together

Everyday together, Always

I really feel, that I'm losing my best friend

I can't believe this could be, the end

I'm starting to see how short life is

Every second it get shorter but your heart get warmer

And you get stronger even when they said you need a transplant

And dialysis to live longer

It put us in fear, put us in tears

You still managed to live life to the fullest for years

Then things got complicated, they found a donut so they operated

A gift and a curse, it's a risk, will it work

And concerned, then things took a turn for the worse

And even if I'd seen the signs I doubt the actions

Nothing could prepare me for what was 'bout to happen

In the hospital, the 18th floor, vivid

July 18th, 2005, I can't forget it

Since that day, I'm forever numb

The end, the day I hoped would never come

You and me, We used to be together

Everyday together, Always

I really feel, that I'm losing my best friend

I can't believe this could be, the end
