Lyrics to Whispers by Lyrics Born

Did I see everything I could see before you left?
Did I do everything I could do for my friends?
I call out cha name, no one answers instead
I hear them whisper, whisper, whispers
Ohhh

I just got home from tour; saw some paper on my door
The note said "call john when you get this, it's important"
But I don't know no john so I thought they was mistaken
And I heard the phone ring as I dropped my suitcases
I picked it up, it was Ed he told me "B is dead, the funeral's today"
Then he gave me the address, it's showing through my body
I had to catch my breath, he told me "get cleaned up"
And gave me details when we met
Whatever that he said after that I don't recall
Guess I must of just hung up the phone and floated down the hall
Pulled back the curtain, suddenly I felt exhausted
Zapped the water with my hand as it came out of the faucet
Pulled the curtain back, somehow climbed up in the shower
Then I leaned against the wall, and cried for half an hour
Man, I'm crying now just trying to get this written
And I wanna hear his voice again, I wanna hear him whisper

Did I see everything I could see before you left?
Did I do everything I could do for my friends?
I call out cha name, no one answers instead
I hear them whisper, whisper, whisper
Ohhh
Did I give everything I could give before you ahead?
Did I spoke, did I listen, did I lend you an ear?
Not answering now, but all I hear is these
Whisper, whisper, whispers

When I arrived at the mosque I was feeling disbelief
Saw his mother, father, brother, hella people I ain't seen
I sat next to Ed who was still in shock, himself
We still ain't had a chance yet for him to tell me how
Then they brought his body out, completely wrapped in linen
That's when it finally hit me: my best friend's no longer living
My chest caves; I felt intense pain around my ribcage
My spirit gave when I saw his face, tears shot like lightening when I saw it was official
My woman grabbed my hand, touched her lips against my temple
How does anybody deal with loss that sudden?
This was harder than when I lost my father, at least with pops I saw it coming
But no, sometimes death falls in our laps
And we don't have no control over how and when we pass
The Iman said we won't spend service morning falling
Instead, whisper a prayer, remember the beautiful things

Did I see everything I could see before you left?
Did I do everything I could do for my friends?
I call out cha name, no one answers instead
I hear them whisper, whisper, whisper
Ohhh
Did I give everything I could give before you ahead?
Did I spoke, did I listen, did I lend you an ear?
Not answering now, but all I hear is these
Whisper, whisper, whispers

He taught me how to fight, how to drive and fix a car
Taught how me how to stay out to trouble, how to parallel park (haha)
He kept me out the game, taught me how to roll up cannabis
His father loaned me books, his mother fixed me sandwiches
We even rapped together, he was OG quantum...
We ain't finish together, that's where the tension started
I try to do my best, maybe that ain't how he felt about it
Although I know I gave my all I still can't reap some guilt about it
There was tension, but over time it ain't affect our friendship
Still if it was issues he ain’t never mentioned it
He was always proud, maybe just a little stubborn
Many times I tried to reach him but he never told me nothin
Headed…home from a party in his yard
He started breathing heavy, Ed pulled over and he called
He was kneeling on the curb, leaning up against the car
Then he whispered something and collapsed into his arms
Now here I am, scooping soil on his grave
Soon after that his parent’s got the tiniest lil bro to stay
He lived with me for a while…
Took your place as the best man in my wedding
He said some beautiful things in your honor, you'd be proud
He's soon to be a father with a family of his own now
Still feel you riding for me to this day
I say a little prayer, I say "whatsup" and whisper "thanks"

Did I see everything I could see before you left?
Did I do everything I could do for my friends?
I call out cha name, no one answers instead
I hear them whisper, whisper, whisper
Ohhh
Did I give everything I could give before you ahead?
Did I spoke, did I listen, did I lend you an ear?
Not answering now, but all I hear is these
Whisper, whisper, whispers
