For Becky

How could you leave us so unexpected?

We waited, we waited

For you but you just left us

We needed you, I needed you

Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills

But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills

Becky told me she love me, I'm thinking this isn't real

I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah

Welcome to the bottom of hell

They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell

You say you proud of me, but you don't know me that well

Sit in my room, tears running down my face and I yell

Into my pillowcases, say you coming to get us

Then call a minute later just to tell us you not, I'm humiliated

I'm in a room with a sister that I barely know

Some lady in the corner watching us, while she taking notes

I don't get it Becky, don't you want to watch your sisters grow?

I guess drugs are more important, all you have to say is "no"

But you won't do it, will you? You gon' keep drinking 'til those drugs kill you

I know you gone but I can still feel you

Why would you leave us?

Why would you leave us?

How could you leave us here?

How could you leave us?

Why would you leave us? Oh

Hey

I got this picture in my room and it kills me

But I don't need a picture of my sister, I need the real thing

Now a relationship is something we won't ever have

Why do I feel like I lost something that I never had?

You shoulda been there when I graduated

Told me you love me and congratulations

Instead you left us at the window waiting

Where you at Becky? We're too young to understand, where you at huh?

Yeah, I know them drugs got you held captive

I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured

Some say it's fun to get the high but I am not laughing

And what you don't realise and what you not grasping

That I was nothing but a kid who couldn't understand

I ain't gon' say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn't happened

I thought that maybe I feel better as time passes

If you really cared for me, then where you at then?

Why would you leave us?

Why would you leave us?

How could you leave us here?

How would you leave us?

Why would you leave us? Oh

Hey

Our last conversation, you and I sat in the living room

Talking 'bout my music and I brought you something to listen to

You started crying, telling me this isn't you

A couple weeks later, guess you were singing a different tune

You took them drugs for the last time, didn't you?

They took you from us once, guess they came back to finish you

Crying my eyes out in the studio is difficult

Music is the only place that I can go to speak to you

It took me everything inside of me to not scream at your funeral

Sitting in my chair, that person talking was pitiful

I wish you were here Beckah but every time I picture you

All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember you

They found you on the floor, I could tell that you felt hollow

Gave everything you had plus your life to them alcohol bottles

You gave everything you had plus your life to them alcohol bottles

Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you still watching, why?

Why would you leave us?

Why would you leave us?

How could you leave us here?

How would you leave us?

Why would you leave us? Oh

Hey

Sometimes I think about like

Sometimes I think about things like, you know

When I have kids, I'm like

You won't be there, you know?

You won't be there for any of that

And I'll never get to see you again

Sometimes I wish I would've just called you

I wish I would've just picked up the phone, wish you were here

I mean you should've been there for us, you should have been here

Them drugs got you, right?

Them drugs got you, right?

I wish you were here
