[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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Son, walk upright and straighten your tie You don't want one of them good jobs to pa** 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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] [Bridge] But sometimes I wonder why Why can't 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 know 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 your wings around me And whisper in my ear, "Well done" [Chorus]
