[Verse 1]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Verse 2]

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 u 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 thangs

We still do all of this

But only in my dreams, I wish



[Chorus]

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 (you would be so proud of yo son)

I wish u were here (thats all I kno to say, thats all I kno to pray)

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here



But sometimes I wonder why

Why cant u still be here wit me?,

Wish God would've waited a couple more years for u to see

I'm tryna stay strong

Barely holdin on

I kno 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



[Chorus]

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
