Ask Heaven |
| 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 (uh-huh) |
| 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’mma make it alright |
| You left home, and you died that night — damn I miss you |
| Thanksgiving day, came home, surprised the family (surprise) |
| Walked inside the crib, the mood was wrong (damn) |
| I heard my moms in the background screamin on the phone (dad what’s goin on?) |
| 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 (run run) |
| It wouldn’t take long, he lived right around the block |
| I tried to stay strong, but I was shakin a lot (I'm scared) |
| 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 |
