(album: FOTO - 2019)

I told her I would meet her in Namibia
Weekend in Milwaukee then we gotta catch the Philly bus
Then we might as well just head to London
Make a stop in Cali 'cause I told 'em we was coming
I think about you daily, and when I'm calling for you
I just wonder if you hear me
I wonder if you feel it like I still do
Love of old, it just feel new
I really hope you still you
What we had was real life
I ain't never felt that shit again since you left me
And when it's said and done I just hope you don't forget me
I'm writing you this letter and attaching it to a photo
And I'm sealing it with love and I stamped it with my logo
I sent it through the mail and I'm praying that it gets to you
I been trying to call, but lately I just ain't been getting through
I just wanna have a conversation
But I left you with the next best thing

I left you with this photo (I left you with this photo)
And I kept the negative (I kept the negative)
You can find out where you're going (You can find out where you're going)
If you know where you been (If you know where you been)
I left you with this photo (I left you with this photo)
To be sure you don't forget (To be sure you don't forget)
What mattered in a moment (What mattered in a moment)
It mattered in a moment (It mattered in a moment)

I heard you doing good and got your money right
I'm happy 'cause I know that you was poor and now you're loving life
Everywhere I go is phony people
So I'm glad to see you prosper through these struggles
Hell, fucking right, I ain't fitting to front like
I don't think about how a nigga stabbed me in my back, like
I thought we was friends and you was putting on a act, like
You ain't tell my girl that I was cheating 'cause you jealous
Know the story, never thought that I be lit enough to tell it
You was really on some bitch shit
And now a nigga rising like the Bisquick
I ain't here to brag about what you already know
Rather tell you that it's cool, 'cause it's time to let it go
Found a picture on my Tumblr of the squad rocking Flight Boys
Circa '09, I'ma send it to your line, took a moment to rewind
And I ain't saying you let us hang, but shit, I left you with the next best thing

I left you with this photo (I left you with this photo)
And I kept the negative (I kept the negative)
You can find out where you're going (You can find out where you're going)
If you know where you been (If you know where you been)
I left you with this photo (I left you with this photo)
To be sure you don't forget (To be sure you don't forget)
What mattered in a moment (What mattered in a moment)
It mattered in a moment (It mattered in a moment)

I remember you and I would chill for days
Lay up in the crib and love up on each other every way
Play a tune, roll a blunt, laughing while you rolling up
Talking 'bout the things we gonna do when we get rich as fuck
And I know everybody sad that you're gone, though
I be thinking, "Damn, one day everybody going home"
Happy that I met you on this path
I'm just sad we didn't kick it one more time before you passed
But, I'll see you when I'm homebound
Uncle Michael doing calisthenics on his stone ground
Uncle Gil is singing in the living room, it's on now
Peta's always there to pick me up when I get outta school
Nanny get to see me play the trumpet like she wanted to
Pop is taking all the kids fishing like he said he would
Aunt Betty playing spades, taking each and every book
Wish we had one more day
But you left me with the next best thing

You left me with this photo (I left you with this photo)
And you kept the negative (I kept the negative)
I can find out where I'm going (You can find out where you're going)
'Cause I know where I been (If you know where you been)
You left me with this photo (I left you with this photo)
To be sure I don't forget (To be sure you don't forget)
What mattered in a moment (What mattered in a moment)
It mattered in a moment (It mattered in a moment)
