[Chorus]
|
I told her, you should go on, it's better that way
|
I wish I could come with you, but I gotta stay
|
But I gotta stay
|
But I gotta stay
|
|
[Big K.R.I.T.]
|
All aboard, I heard 'em call your name
|
I knew you got your ticket, now you on your way
|
And it was hard to watch you wave goodbye
|
I'll write you here and there with no need to reply
|
It's just I lost a good friend in a time of need
|
Like forever would be better, but this time you're free
|
Hate you left us, kind of selfish just to think that way
|
You going home, don't worry, what you probably would say
|
But yeah it hurts, but I smile at the thought
|
you at peace in your mind, no longer ache in your heart
|
Finish and start, rise with the sun
|
Finally to hear your father say, servant we're done
|
I strive to be half of what you was
|
I'm just hoping that I can carry on your love
|
And I regret all the times I had to leave you
|
I promise I'ma see you when I see you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Big K.R.I.T.]
|
Yo, your motherly hands used to usher Sunday mornings
|
Played the tambourine so well
|
Reminiscing on my granddaddy
|
Shed tears as you looked at his pictures on the shelf
|
Phone ringing every day, friends gone away
|
Wishing you could go, but you had to stay
|
I sit and cry with you, soon the feelings up and pass
|
Aware one day that you'd pack your bags
|
Turned to me and asked, don't fret when I leave
|
This earthly body of mine done did all of its deeds
|
Crawled till it walked and held all it could breathe
|
Carry on what I taught, you was given through He
|
to you, from me, in times like this believe
|
I got a call like you used to get just the other day
|
They told me you'd gone home to stay
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Big K.R.I.T. - singing]
|
Now I know what you meant when you used to sing
|
If I had wings, wings, wings
|
I'd fly away, I'd fly away
|
Lord, if I had wings, wings, wings
|
I'd fly away, I'd fly away
|
|
[Chorus]
|
