  • The days are cold livin' without you
    The nights are long, I'm growing older
    I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
    You may be gone, but you're never over

    If Proof could see me now, I know he'd be proud
    Somewhere in me deep down, there's something in me he found
    That made him believe in me, now no one can beat me now
    You try, it'll be them doors on Dre's Phantom, believe me, clowns
    That means suicide, homie, you'll never throw me
    Off of this course, blow me
    Bitch, I do this all for the sport only
    But I want it all, I'm not just talking awards, homie
    And the balls in my court and it's lonely
    On top of the world when you're the only one with the balls in your shorts
    To leave their jaws on the floors with no remorse
    'Member that when they get to doggin' your boy, homie
    So y'all can just get to bloggin' about bologna
    I'm not gonna stop, the saga continues, no stoppin' the force, Obi
    I'm moppin' the floors with 'em, I keep tryna pass it
    But they keep on droppin' the torch and it won't be long 'til this sport is O-V-
    E-R, Just Blaze and me, we are knockin' them doors and no we
    Ain't pumpkins on Halloween but we'll show up on your porch, so be
    Careful what you say, there ain't no punks over here, so follow me
    Through the fog like I'm S-N-double-O-P, let me guide you through the smoke, G
    If only I wasn't travellin' down this road by my lonely
    No one who knew me like you will ever know me
    I don't think you understand how much you meant to me

    The days are cold livin' without you
    The nights are long, I'm growing older
    I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
    You may be gone, but you're never over

    And it don't stop, oh
    And it don't quit, oh
    And it don't stop, oh
    And it don't quit, oh
    And I miss you, oh
    I just miss you, oh
    I just miss you, oh
    And, homie, I'll never forget you, no

    For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
    So sick it'll blow up the mic, it'll put the "dyna" in "mite"
    Yeah, it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit his self
    Tap dancin' all over the beat, it'll jump off the page and spit itself
    Guess it's the best thing I could do right now, Doody, for you is to rep
    So I'm gonna fuck 'til I die, yeah, I'ma do it to death
    And instead of mourning your death, I'd rather celebrate your life
    Elevate to new heights, step on the gas and accelerate, I'ma need two mics
    'Cause the way that I'm feelin' tonight, everything I can just do right
    There's nothing that I can do wrong, I'm too strong and I'm just too hype
    Just finish the rhyme and bust it, excuse the corny metaphor
    But they'll never catch up to all this energy that I've mustered
    So God, just help me out while I fight through this grievin' process
    Tryna process this loss is makin' me nauseous
    But this depression ain't takin' me hostage
    I've been patiently watchin' this game, pacin' these hallways
    You had faith in me always
    Proof, you knew I'd come out of this slump, rise from these ashes
    Come right back on they asses, and go Mike Tyson on these bastards
    And I'ma show 'em, blow 'em out the water, slaughter 'em, homes
    I'ma own so many belts, only place they can hit me is below 'em
    Homie, I know I'm never gonna be the same without you
    I never woulda came in this game, I'm going insane without you
    Matter fact, it was just the other night had another dream about you
    You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew
    You gave me a reason to fight, I was on my way to see you
    You told me, "Nah, Doody, you're not", layin' on that table, I knew
    I was gonna make it, soon as you said think of Hailie, I knew
    There wasn't no way that I was ever gonna leave them babies, and Proof
    Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you
    Lord, I'm so thankful, please don't think I don't feel grateful, I do
    Just grant me the strength that I need for one more day to get through
    So, homie, this is your song, I dedicate this to you
    I love you, Doody

    The days are cold livin' without you
    The nights are long, I'm growing older
    I miss the days of old, thinkin' about you
    You may be gone, but you're never over

    And it don't stop, oh
    And it don't quit, oh
    And it don't stop, oh
    And it don't quit, oh
    And I miss you, oh
    I just miss you, oh
    I just miss you, oh
    And, homie, I'll never forget you, no Writer/s: Gerard McMahon, Justin Gregory Smith, Marshall Mathers, Mike Mainieri

  • Kimmie & Odis from Grass Valley, CaWhen it comes to lyrics, Eminem is the best, in my opinion. He's talked me off a ledge many times over the years. To see his dramatic, artistic, verbalizations...I can see what happens to his growth. It's like a beautiful message, if you open your mind and heart. EMINEM (MICHAEL MATHERS) you will always have deep place in my heart. My oldest daughter said "you have to listen to this". I did and was so unaware about what you said in your lyrics, it touched me, my heart. I have been a fan since then, that was in 1998. I'm grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for your time, love, helping people, knowing we all struggle, I love what you have added to my life.
  • Gianni from Rome, ItalyThe second verse is one of the best and emotionally strongest of all the rap songs out there. Em lies pure, raw emotion in this song, you can feel his pain, how his voice almost breaks, but he makes it trough and delivers the ultimate tribute to his friend.
  • Michael from Deridder, Lagreat song....just, it's...a great song. enough said. RIP Doody/D12's Big Proof }(
