Wish U Were Here

By the time you get this letter
 I might be doin better
 It's kinda hard trying to survive
 In all this crazy weather.
 Everybody wants my number
 Everybody's callin my name
 But in the midst of all of this
 I can still hear you say.
 Son, walk upright
 And straighten yo tie
 You don't want one of those 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
 I wish u were here
 To see the things I've done
 I wish u 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
 Well these cars keep me movin
 These planes keep me high
 A million dollar home
 But I'm barely gettin by
 Cause...
 I miss our talks
 One thing you used to say (used to say)
 When things got hard (Hard on me)
 Get down on your knees and pray.
 And then those walks (then those walks)
 Its just the simple things
 We still do all of this
 But only in my dreams, I wish.
 I wish u were here (wish you were here with me)
 To see the things I've done
 I wish u were here
 You'd be so proud of your son (you would be so proud of yo son)
 I wish u were here (thats all I know to say, thats all I know to pray)
 To celebrate with me
 Is that I wish u were here.
 But sometimes I wonder why
 Why cant u still be here with me?
 Wish God would've waited a couple more years for u to see
 I'm tryna stay strong
 Barely holdin on
 I know I'll see u again
 But for right now, rest in peace.
 And when I get to heaven
 First thing they'll say to me
 Tell me have u seen Estelle Marie Talley?
 Find out where u are
 Run into your arms
 Wrap yo wings around me
 And whisper in my ear "well done"
 I wish u were here (well done, my son, well done)
 To see the things I've done
 I wish u were here
 You'd be so proud of your son
 I wish u were here
 To celebrate with me
 I wish u were here
