I Miss You Lyrics

[Chorus: Faith Evans & DMX]
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'…

[Verse 2: DMX]
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 with your 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 Renée's back in jail, you know she talk like you
Riculah's(?) doing 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
But that's a good thing, and if I could only hear you sing
Once more, oh Lord, the comfort it would bring
[Chorus: Faith Evans & DMX]
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'…

[Verse 3: DMX (Faith Evans)]
You left behind a mother, eleven kids, eleven grand-kids
And since then, two of your grand-kids done had kids
I got a boy named Tacoma, Xavier's brother
That's right, Xavier's 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 the two beatings you gave me
'Cause I know somewhere along the line the lesson I learned from the two beatings 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
[Chorus: Faith Evans & DMX]
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'…

[Outro: Faith Evans]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A tribute to DMX’s grandmother, Mary Ella Holloway after she passed away. X addresses how much he misses her and talks about his family members as if he’s talking directly to her in the afterlife.

The song features American singer Faith Evans singing Amazing Grace for the chorus. A very nice touch.
