[Verse 1]
|
By the time you get this letter
|
I might be doin better
|
It's kinda hard trying to survive
|
In all this crazy weather
|
|
Everybody wants my number
|
Everybody's callin my name
|
But in the midst of all of this
|
I can still hear you say
|
|
Son, walk upright
|
And straighten yo tie
|
You don't want one of those good jobs to pass you by
|
Don't act no fool, I'm watching you
|
And now that you're gone
|
It still feels like you do, I Wish
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I wish u were here
|
To see the things I've done
|
I wish u were here
|
You'd be so proud of your son
|
I wish u were here
|
To celebrate with me
|
I wish u were here
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Now all of these people ask me
|
"Is it lonely at the top?..."
|
Or do I find comfort
|
In all the things I got
|
|
Well these cars keep me movin
|
These planes keep me high
|
A million dollar home
|
But I'm barely gettin by
|
Cause...
|
|
I miss our talks,
|
One thing u used to say (used to say)
|
When things got hard (Hard on me)
|
Get down on your knees and pray
|
|
And then those walks (then those walks)
|
Its just the simple thangs
|
We still do all of this
|
But only in my dreams, I wish
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I wish u were here
|
To see the things I've done
|
I wish u were here
|
You'd be so proud of your son (you would be so proud of yo son)
|
I wish u were here (thats all I kno to say, thats all I kno to pray)
|
To celebrate with me
|
I wish u were here
|
|
But sometimes I wonder why
|
Why cant u still be here wit me?,
|
Wish God would've waited a couple more years for u to see
|
I'm tryna stay strong
|
Barely holdin on
|
I kno I'll see u again,
|
But for right now, rest in peace
|
|
And when I get to heaven
|
First thing they'll say to me
|
Tell me have u seen Estelle Marie Talley
|
Find out where u are,
|
Run into your arms
|
Wrap yo wings around me
|
And whisper in my ear, well done
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I wish u were here
|
To see the things I've done
|
I wish u were here
|
You'd be so proud of your son
|
I wish u were here
|
To celebrate with me
|
I wish u were here
|
