[Kim - Verse One]
Oh how it hurts, like child birth
The wounds heal slow, you just don't know

At times, I don't know what to say
And all I do is pray, day to day
But still, I feel my strength might die

Like right now, I'm tryin' hard not to cry
Even when I close my eyes, I still see it
Damn, I just don't believe it

The bad times I buried, like the cemetery
Unworthy people playin' beneficiaries
A lotta people eatin' off of one man's death

Don't you worry B.I., I'ma ride to my last breath
You killas, caused a lotta devastation
You have no idea what you did to this nation

I $#&@in' hate you, excuse my frustration
But just when I'm about to quit, God tells me to just


[Mary J. Blige - Chorus]
Don't you give up, be strong
Hold on, hold on

Things are gonna get better
Tough times, they last so long
Hold on, hold on

If you believe, they will get better

[Kim - Verse Two]

Frank White, the man with the money and the fame
Passed away, now (*##$es wanna claim his name
I been with my ^!$$% before he came in the game

No one's, no V's, we used to take the train
Just us and the Mafia goin' out to parties
I guess back then we was real nobodies

But he was my ^!$$%, and I was his (*##$
I rolled hard with him, how could I forget him
Had beef with yo wife that ain't patched up

But still got love for your kids
Even wrote 'em in my will
And I'ma make sure the fam keep a decent meal

No matter what I got to do, or who I got to kill
%#@! is real, baby, there ain't no appeal
If I'm $#&@ed up, imagine how Mrs. Wallace feels

Sometimes I sit and think how it would be if we was married
Of if I woulda kept the child that I carried
So to my ladies, don't think I haven't walked in yo shoes

Or thought this was only happenin' to you, righ'
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on this boo
Cuz trust me, I know exactly what you're going through


[Chorus]


[Kim - Verse Three]
So I guess you know the story of how it all ends
Depressed, stressed, don't know who's my real friends

One thing's for sure, I can count on my mens
D-Roc, Money, L, Lil' Cease, and PD
My whole B.I. family, remind me of you

We miss you so much, I love you so much
Never thought life without you would be so rough
But I know we gon make it

We ain't happy, but we fakin'
And to New York, thanks for the support
And all our real fans, I'm shoutin' out the whole land

This is somethin' young kids just won't understand
How they took away this beautiful man
Who shared so many memories

I could go on and on, but a song can only be so long
It's been hard, but I told God that I put up a fight
So here's a Long Kiss Goodnight, Frank White


[Chorus]
