I'll Be Missing You Lyrics

Verse One: Puff Daddy
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seems to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I fill your dreams
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know you're living you life -- after death

Chorus: Faith Evans

Every step I take, Every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray -- I'll be missing you
Thinking of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break -- I'll be missing you

Verse Two: Puff Daddy

It's kinda hard with you not around
Know you in heaven smiling down
Watching us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
The strength I need to believe
My thoughts B.I.G. I just can't define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6th, shopping for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks, making hits
Stages they received you on
I still can't believe you're gone
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know your living you life -- after death

Chorus

[Faith Evans]
Somebody tell me why, on that morning
when this life is over
I know -- I'll see your face

Outro: 112

Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
(repeat 3X)
Every move I make

This song is about the murder of Notorious B.I.G. and the ensuing pain that Puff Daddy felt following his friends death. Musically, this song is a remix of the Police hit "Every breath you take".

this is one of the only rap songs which I truely like, it is really good and meaningfull.

But, puffdaddy did just steal parts of the song from "the police - every breath I take"

@heartless__x3 he didn't take parts from the song "every breath I take" by the police
"the police" actually took pars of THIS song and put it into their own because this song came out in 1997 and the song "every breath I take'' came out in 1983 which was after this song came out

sting owns 100% of the publishing royalties. and it's not stealing if you have permission. so take this song for what it's worth instead of bashing it for being "stolen".

Its the anniversary month of my daughters death. The chorus of this song hits home.....I miss her so much. She was only seven when she left this world. I think anyone who has lost someone close to them can relate to this song. Its one the the only remade songs that I prefer over the original.

i usually NEVER listen to rap/R&B but i must say this song is good. I dont thing you realize how perfect it really is until a close friend dies and then this song hits so close to home its scary. ANyways i applaud puff daddy on this one.
