Quavo has released a heartfelt musical tribute to his late nephew and bandmate Takeoff.

On Wednesday night (Jan. 4), Quavo released the new single "Without You." The song, which features Vory on the intro, serves as Quavo's first musical release since Takeoff was shot and killed in Houston on Nov. 1, 2022. The Zaytoven, Mike Dean, Elyas and Eugene-produced track is a somber one that finds Quavo understandably waxing poetic about the pain he's felt since losing Takeoff.

"Out in the galaxy, up in the stars/Over the universe, it's bigger than Mars/See you in Heaven, see you in Heaven/When I see you in Heaven, I'ma be with my dawg (Yeah)," Quavo croons on the chorus.

The accompanying video features one continuous black-and-white shot of Quavo in the studio smoking while listening to the playback of the song. Quavo broke his silence on the death of Takeoff on Nov. 12, paying homage to Take in a lengthy IG post.

INTRO (Vory):
(What would I do without you?)
Tears rollin' down my eyes

If you hear me say you lie, you a lie, you a lie
You hear me say you lie, you a lie, you a lie

VERSE 1 (Quavo):
Tears rollin' down my eyes (Mm-hm)
Can't tell you how many times I cried (Can't tell you how many times I cried)
Days ain't the same without you (No)
I don't know if I'm the same without you (Nah, I'm ain't the same)
Remember the days we smoked big blunts together?
Remember the days we rocked out Coachella? (Them days)
Remember the days we ain't have our shit together? (Shit)
On the Nawfside, times were hard, but them days was better (Nawf)
I wish I had a time machine
Just so you can take a ride with me (Skrr-skrrt)
I miss just how you smile at me (Smile)
Unc and Phew until infinity (Infinity)
I wish I had a time machine (Yessir)
So you can take a ride with me (Skrrt)
Wrap my arms around and hold you tight, Phew
So you can never say goodbye to me

Out in the galaxy, up in the stars
Over the universe, it's bigger than Mars
See you in Heaven, see you in Heaven
When I see you in Heaven, I'ma be with my dawg (Yeah)
Out in the galaxy, up in the stars
Over the universe, it's bigger than Mars (It's big)
See you in Heaven, see you in Heaven
When I see you in Heaven, I'ma be with my dawg (Yeah)

VERSE 2 (Quavo):
I don't know if I'm the same without you (Yeah, I'm ain't the same)
It ain't no gang without you (No, it ain't no gang, nah)
Birthdays ain't the same without you (No)
Christmas ain't the same without you (No)
I'ma represent your name when it's 'bout you
I wouldn't have got it out the mud without you (Mud)
It's hard to see Mama Love without you (Mama), mama, mama
It's hard to see Mama Love without you (Mama Love, yeah)
