I'd like to dedicate this song
To everyone who's cried before
Who's felt pain and suffering before
This just ain't about me
But most importantly
I'd like to send this song out to my family
I love my family
'Specially my mother and my father
I wanna thank you for being so strong
God bless you I love you
Sometimes I sit back relax
Sip on Cognac reminscin
On how it used to be when we were kids
Laughin at the things that we did
Damn near broke but we knew how to live
Peep the scene
Mom and dad bustin they ass 14 years
In the night they would pass each other
Tryin to raise six of us
One sister four brothers
Two deceased laid to rest
And I miss you cats
What I wouldn't give to bring you back
To fill the void that you left in my heart
Your last breath really tore me apart
And I'm sorry
If I never said I loved you enough
I truly did
Ask heaven heaven is there room for me
Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of a stairway to heaven
Aiyyo I swear to you
I'll put it on the bible no lie
On the days you guys died
I seen daddy cried
I was shocked
Y'all know how tough pop is f'real
But he really turned soft
When life stopped his kids damn
Speakin of kids Yours beautiful
Promisin beautiful
I wish you could see 'em
So much of life
With a touch of yo' light
And I'm doin my best
To make sure they alright
When I was young
Some big kids stole my bike
Came home and told y'all
And had it back that night
When I was older you started smokin
And you sold my bike
I remember cause I cried all night
I wasn't mad
I was sad
Cause the crack had control of your life
And you couldn't even put up a fight
You told me Dwight
I promise lil' brother
I'ma make it alright
You left home
And you died that night damn I miss you
Ask heaven heaven is there room for me
Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of a stairway to heaven
Thanksgiving day came home
Surprised the family
Walked inside the crib
The mood was wrong damn
I heard my moms in the background
Screamin on the phone
I rushed to get closer like yo mom
What's wrong
She said your brother's buggin out
Hurry up take a look
I grabbed my brother Floyd
And we started to book
It wouldn't take long
He lived right around the block
I tried to stay strong
But I was shakin a lot
Got there ran up the stairs
He was stretched out in the lobby
A 7-year jail bid physique graced his body
I fell to my knees
Like no Jerry please
I was frightened
He was fightin to breathe
Mumblin somethin
Heav' don't let 'em take me I ain't ready to leave
I felt his clutch on the cuff of my sleeve
Then it eased
He felt calm
As he died in my arms
OD's off of heron
And just like that he was gone
Thanksgiving day will forever be hard
Cause that's the day we gave my brother to God
Ma you hear me
Thanksgiving day will forever be hard
Cause that's the day we gave my brother to God
I love you
Ask heaven heaven is there room for me
Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of a stairway to heaven
Ask heaven heaven is there room for me
Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of a stairway to heaven
Ask heaven heaven is there room for me
Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of a stairway to heaven
