By the time you get this letter might be doing better
It’s kinda hard tryin to survive in all this crazy weather
Everybody wants my number Everybody’s calling my name
But in the mist of all of this I can still hear you say
Son walk upright and straighten yo tie
You don’t want one of dem good jobs to pass 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 u were here

I wish u were here
To see the things I’ve done
I wish you were here
You’d be so proud of your son
I wish u were here
To celebrate with me
I wish u were here

Now all of these people ask me is it lonely at the top
Or do I find comfort in all the things I got
Whether the cars keep me moving
These planes keep me high
A million dollar home, but I’m barely getting by cause
I miss our talks, the things you use to say, when things got hard
Get on your knees and pray and then those walks,
It’s just the simple things
We still do all of these but only in my dreams
I wish

I wish u were here
To see the things I’ve done
I wish you were here
You’d be so proud of your son
I wish u were here
To celebrate with me
I wish u were here

But sometimes I wonder why
Why can’t you still be here with me
Wish God woulda waited
A couple more years for you to see
I’m tryna stay strong, barely holding on
I’ll know I’ll see you again
But for right now rest in peace

And when I get to heaven
First thing they’ll say to me
Tell me have you seen
Estell Marie Talley
Find out where you are
Run into your arms, wrap your wings around me
And whisper in my ear
Well done
Well, Well done my son

I wish u were here
To see the things I’ve done
I wish you were here
You’d be so proud of your son
I wish u were here
To celebrate with me
I wish u were here
