Ludacris - Ocean Skies lyrics

feat. Monica (Ludaversal Deluxe edition) Rest in peace Wayne Bridges, You're still living through me Listen! Look, I lost my father to the bottle I'd hug the man today like I might not see him tomorrow Got a little sorrow for a lifetime 'Cause when he was living I'm thinking how do I get him to listen When he was seldom in his right mind My early years I was too young to understand But I remember the smell of beer and seeing all the empty cans Waking up, crying in the night, hearing arguments Hands off my momma, somehow I knew he was the cause of it Got a little owe to anyone, got a little worse Drinking must be his remedy, he got a little cursed Well, tell me what's the cure for a man who misses past The beat goes on, but the drinking' gotta stop! [Monica verse: ] If I had to know I wouldn't see you tomorrow I would've had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey But now you got me proved, got that thing gone after sorrow Wishing every day you were here with me But now that you're gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle Ooh oh oh Yeah, I lost my father to the bottle, Function and alcoholics what they call it far as I know Became a teenager and started to understand, But even through drinks he still taught me to be a man So before the hospital, when the paramedics rest him He knew that everybody who met him, instantly loved him I run the con concerts ?? made him even sicker 'Cause who gon' tell him he can't drink none of his son's liquor And tell me how without my father am I supposed to manage?! He had the biggest heart, but had so much of liver damage Tell me what's the cure for a man who misses past?! The beat goes on, but the drinking' gotta stop! [Monica verse: ] If I had to know I wouldn't see you tomorrow I would've had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey But now you got me proved, got that thing gone after sorrow Wishing every day you were here with me But now that you're gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle Ooh oh oh Not a day goes by that I don't miss ya, and don't wish you here with me No matter what you did, I forgive you! I lost my father to the bottle, Tell your parents you love 'em You might not see them tomorrow! I swallow my pride, try to put my problems aside But I feel so hollow inside Gotta keep my eyes on the prize, 'Cause I'm steady wishing you were here and see the goals that I plan to reach You left the day after I put you into my Grammy speech It's almost like you waited just to see me win, Well, pops I can't wait till the day we meet! [Monica verse: ] If I had to know I wouldn't see you tomorrow I would've had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey But now you got me proved, got that thing gone after sorrow Wishing every day you were here with me But now that you're gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle I can't get over you you you, hey Love in a bottle, hey heyyy Oh, I miss you! I wanna see you tomorrow I wanna see you again I wanna see you tomorrow I miss you, you you you you I love you, you you you
