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, fourteen 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
