Song | Ask Heaven |
Artist | Heavy D |
Album | Heavy |
作词 : DeBarge, Myers, Sermon | |
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 [Chorus: Chico DeBarge] | |
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 [Heavy D] | |
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] [Heavy D] | |
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 [Chorus x4: to fade w/ ad libs] |
