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
Especially my mom and my father
I wanna thank you for being so strong
God bless you, I love you
Sometimes I sit back, relax, sipping cognac
Reminiscing, on how it used to be, when we were kids
Laughing at the things that we did
Damn near broke, but we knew how to live
Peep the scene, Mom and Dad, busting they ass
Fourteen years, in the night they would pass
Each other, trying 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 love you enough
I truly did
Heaven, Heaven
Heaven, is there room for me?
'Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of the stairway to Heaven
Ayo, I swear to you, I put it on the Bible, no lie
On the days you guys died, I seen Daddy cry
I was shocked, y'all know how tough Pop is
But he really turned soft when life stopped his kids
Speaking of kids, yours, beautiful
Promising, youthful, I wish you could see him
So much alike, with a touch of your life
And I'm doing my best, to make sure that you're 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 smoking, 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 little brother, I'ma make it alright"
You left home, and you died that night, I miss you
Heaven, Heaven
Heaven, is there room for me?
'Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of the stairway to Heaven
Thanksgiving Day, came home, surprised the family
Walked inside the crib, the mood was wrong
I heard my moms in the background, screaming on the phone
I rushed to get closer like "Yo, Ma, what's wrong?"
She said "Your brother's bugging out, hurry up, take a look"
I grabbed my brother Floyd, and we started to book
It wouldn't take long, he lived right around the block
I tried to stay strong, but I was shaking a lot
Got there, ran up the stairs, he was stretched out in the lobby
A seven year jail bid physique graced his body
I fell to my knees, like "No, Jerry please"
I was frightened, he was fighting to breathe
Mumbling something like "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'd off of heroin, 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
Heaven, Heaven
Heaven, is there room for me?
'Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of the stairway to Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Heaven, is there room for me?
'Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of the stairway to Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Heaven, is there room for me?
'Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of the stairway to Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Heaven, is there room for me?
'Cause I believe
That's where you'll be
Waiting for me
At the end of the stairway to Heaven
