Missy Elliott and TLC - Can You Hear Me

Missy, it's Diane
Here's the information for the
Where you can send the flowers to
The florist for Aaliyah
I'll give you the phone number
In case you need it
Okay, Missy, take care of yourself
I love you
I love you, bye bye

I been checkin' on your moms and dad (uh)
And your brother since the day you left (left)
Passed on and went away with God (uh)
But for your momma it's been so damn hard
I hate to even hear her cry (cry)
Aaliyah, she asked me why (why)
Would her baby girl go this way? (Oh)
Can you give me better words to say?

Come one day, she'll see you again
With the same ol' beatiful smile
Long hair and the voice of a hummingbird
You'll be singing them same ol' songs
Aaliyah, can you hear me?
I hope that you're proud of me
Me and Tim, we been doin' our thing
But it's never been the same since you had to go
I ain't never met a friend more incredible
Oh

I know you're in real good hands
With God, but damn I miss you
Aaliyah if you see Left Eye
Will you tell her me and Boz miss her too
'Cause no one's gonna fill her space (uh-uh)
T-C, L not replaced
All the reasons we learned to love (love)
Fly high wit' your twenty-two doves

One day, we'll see her again
With the same ol' beautiful smile
Crazy, but sexy cool
And she'll be rappin' them same ol' songs
Lisa, can you hear me?
We hope that you're proud of us
TLC has come a long way
But it's never been the same since you had to go
'Cause the healin' process will be long and slow
Yeah

Aaliyah, I know you in a safer place
You're face to face with the creator and our maker
And if you and Left Eye happen to chat
Tell her me and Tionne, we know she's much safer
If you see Biggie smalls up in the clouds
Tell him he's still the illest emcee we had around
2Pac, there is only one, Big Pun, R.I.P
We say, "One" (one, yeah, yeah)

One day, we'll see y'all again
With the same ol' beautiful smiles
All styles so many styles
And y'all be doin' the same old things
The last time we seen ya
We hope y'all can change the world
Let 'em see how short life be
It will never be the same since ya had to go
To the music world y'all are incredible

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
