Verse1
by the time you get this letta
i might be doin betta
its kinda hard tryna survive
in all this crazy weather
everybody wants my numba
everybody's callin my name
but in the midst of all of this i can still hear ya say
son walk upright and straighten yo tie
you don't want one of them good jobs to pa** you by
don't act no fool i'm watchin you
and now that your gone it still feels like ya do
i wish
Chorus
I wish you were here
to see the things i've done
i wish you were here
you would be so proud of your son
and i wish you werr here
to celebrate with me
i wish you were here
Verse2
Now all of these people ask me
is 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 dolla home
but i'm barely gettin by cuz
i miss our talks
one thing you used to say (used to say)
when things get hard (hard on me)
get down on my knees and pray
and then those walks
its just the simple things
we still do all of this but only in my dreams
i wish
Repeat chorus
Bridge
But sometimes i wonder why
why can't you still
be here with me
wish god woulda waited
a couple more years for you to see
i'm tryna stay strong
barely holdin on
i know i'll see you again
but for right now rest in peace
and when i get to heaven
first thing they'll say to me
is tell me have you seen Estelle Marie Talley
find out where
run into your arms
wrap your wings around me
and whisper in my ear well done (well)
(Jamie Ad libs over chorus)
well done my son well done well done
Chorus
