[Aaliyahs mother] 
This is the information for 
For where you can send the flowers 
Its for Aaliyah 
Ill give you the phone number in case you need it 
Ok we'll see you 
Take care of yourself 
I love you 
Bye bye 

[Missy] 
I’ve been checking on your mom’s and dad 
And your brother since the day you left (LEFT left left) 
Passed on and went away with God 
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? 
Can you gimme better words to say? 

(C’mon) 
One day she’ll see you again 
With the same old beautiful smile (Your smile) 
Long hair and the voice of a hummingbird 
You’ll be singing them same old songs 
Aaliyah can you hear me? (Can ya hear me?) 
I hope that you’re proud of me (Ooooh) 
*Me & Tim we've been doing our thang 
But it's never been the same since you had to go 
Ain’t never met a friend more incredible (more incredible) 

Ooh 
[TLC] 
I know you’re in real good hands 
with God, but damn I miss you. (Miss you) 
Aaliyah if you see Left Eye (uh huh) 
will ya tell her me & Boz miss her too? 
Cuz no one's gonna fill her space 
TC L not replaced 
You’re the reasons we learn to love 
fly high with your 22 doves. 

One day we’ll see her again 
With the same old beautiful smile (your smile yeah) 
Crazy but SexyCool 
And she’ll be rapping them same old songs (ooh woo) 
Lisa can you hear me? 
We hope that you’re proud of us (Oh proud of you) 
TLC has come a long way 
But it's never been the same since you had to go 
But the healing process will be long and slow (ooh woo) 

[Missy+TLC] 
Aaliyah I know you’re in a safer place 
You’re face to face with the Creator and our Maker 
And if you and Left Eye happened to chat 
Tell her me and Tionne we know she much safer 
If you see Biggie Smalls up in the clouds 
Tell him he’s still the illest MC 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 (one day ooh) 
With the same old beautiful smile 
All styles so many styles (yes) 
And y’all be doing the same old things 
The last time we've seen ya (woo ooh) 
We hope y’all can change the world (change the world) 
Let them see how short life be 
It will never be the same since you had to go (yeah yeah) 
To the music world y’all are incredible (yeah yeah) 

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

[Missy talking] 
This is the end mickey or missy mousc 
bye muthafucka nah am just playing 
anyway huh you no once again i hope y'all enjoy 
what y'all heard you no i no someone gonna 
walk through the door who say they still dont feel me 
you no they dont like ma album or maybe 
somebody just shitted in your cornflakes 
or maybe something stinks 
but far as am concerned i do what i do the 
best way i can so hopefully you felt some 
old skool flavour in there you you may not 
feel like am a real hip hop artist but i dont have 
to be a grew up on hip hop an thats what motivated 
me to do music uh beef back then wasnt death threats 
between two artist beef then was you no uh 
who had the realist skills who was the dopest on the mic 
so magazine radio folk whom ever you no this 
shit is kinda in your court i no some times you want the 
best stories and you got to eat to just like everbody else 
but someties be gotta sacrifice and say the best stories 
dont have to be something negative lets not wait till we 
lose another important MC in the rap game and start 
saying chill out with the dumb shit n all that you no 
um we can all stand for going under a lil construction 
so right now i aint gonna turn in to reverand Elliot on y'all 
i just love music if you dont like i dont give a shit 
aight bascially i love ya god bless goodnight
