[Chorus: THE CARTER]

I know you’re still with me,
Though they say that,
Though they say that,
Though they say that,
I know you’re still with me,
Though they say that,
Though they say that,
Though they say that you’re gone.
(I know they say that, I know they say that, I know they say that)
Dead and gone
(I know they say that, I know say that)
(Even though they say that you’re gone)


[Verse 1: G Syl]

They say that you’re still with me,
Even though you’re dead and gone.
It’s truth in what they say,
Cause I feel your spirit when I’m alone.
I see why I’m a general,
Cause daddy was a solider.
Made it through Vietnam,
But the war ain’t over.
Cause I’m going through another battle,
And the battlefield is my heart.
Even though you been gone,
You been right there from the start.
Last words that you told me,
G don’t you never stop.
I locked that in my head,
Now I’m locked in on them charts.
Still give me courage,
Still motivate me,
Still inspired when it’s through the wire.
Still spit that fire,
Even though you’re higher.
Wake a n***a up when I’m feeling tired.
(When I’m feeling tired)


[Chorus: THE CARTER]

I know you’re still with me,
Though they say that,
Though they say that,
Though they say that,
I know you’re still with me,
Though they say that,
Though they say that,
Though they say that you’re gone.
(I know they say that, I know they say that, I know they say that)
Dead and gone.
(I know they say that, I know say that)
(Even though they say that you’re gone)

[Verse 2: Malik Yusef]

Life is perpetual,
We can’t die.
But if you miss somebody so bad,
Throw your hands in the sky.
Grab a piece of them,
And be at peace with them.
Say I know you’re still with me.
Say I know you’re still with me, I know you’re still with me.
You can’t lose unless you quit.
You can’t be stopped unless you stop.
Sometime the pain won’t stop.
Sometime the rain don’t come in drops.
Sometimes it feels like it’s flooding from out of the sky.
I’ll say, I’m not a lucky guy.
Nothing good can, nothing bad can, last forever.
So if you’re missing somebody and you’re missing them bad,
Don’t think about the things you wish that you had.
Enjoy the flowers while you can still smell ‘em,
Cause they still here with you, even though they say that they're dead and gone.
