DMX - I Miss You Lyrics

DMX - I Miss You Video

Spoken:

I know that my savior lives, and at the end, he will stand on this earth.

My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see God.

Yes, I will see him for myself and I long for that moment.

 

 

Grandma, I really miss you and it ain't been the same

I drop a tear when I, hear yo' name

Mary Ella Holloway, why you gotta be so far away

Used to say, Don't worry, it's gon' be okay

 

But it ain't it's like when you left, you took the Lord wit' ya

Why couldn't I come when he came to get you

Damn I really miss you I had to say it again

I remember the time when I was like ten

 

Crept up in the neighbor's yard, yeah, bein' hard headed

You told me I would get it you said it!

And boy did I get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me

Kissed me on my forehead, told me that you loved me

 

And I saw that it hurt you, more than it hurt me

I thought how bad could this hurt be? I know now

That's why it's only done out of love

What I wouldn't give for one mo' hug, from grandma

 

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

 

What I'm about to say a couple of family members is gon' hate me

But I'ma let you know what's been goin' on lately

Now you know since you left, a lot of things wit' yo kids done changed

Yeah Jackie's still crazy, don't know what's up with James

 

Ain't seen Jerry in a while, you know he walk like you

And Renee's back in jail, you know she talk like you

Ricule's doin' real good now, she workin'

Rhonda's still runnin' around, trickin', jerkin'

 

Buckeye's buggin', he done lost his mind

And Jarvis? Back out of jail, doin' fine

Kylie? He done changed, it ain't all about self

As for my father... well, that's somethin' else

 

But that's my dog, he hold his grandmother down

My great grandmother, makin' a lot of trips out of town

Bud that's a good thing, and if I could only hear you sing

Once more, oh Lord, the comfort it would bring

 

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

 

You left behind a mother (and) eleven kids (and) eleven grand-kids

And since then, two of yo' grand-kids done had kids

They had a boy named Tacoma, Xavier's brother, that's right

Xavier made you a great grandmother

 

I thank you for the best times of my life

I thank you for when you first met her, acceptin' and lovin' my wife

I thank you for those Sunday dinners, they were vital

I thank you for my life, I thank you for the bible

 

I thank you for the songs that you'd sing in the mornin'

(Amazing Grace..) while I'm yawnin'

I thank you for them two beatin's you gave me

'Cause I know somewhere along the line the lesson I learned from them two beatin's saved me

 

And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the Lord to take me

'Cause no one else could give me what you gave me

But life like everything comes to an end

I pray I go to heaven to see you again amen

 

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

 

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

Baby it's gon' be okay (She used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin')

 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see, yeah
