I wish you were here to make it right with your ways
Here to make it right with your words
Wishing you could rise from the grave
Fair Lady
I wish you never picked up the phone
When The Lord was calling so he wouldn't have to take you from home
Can't you teach the masses what they couldn't even learn on their own
Wishing you could let it be known
That these kids today could never feel the pain that you've shown
Flashback to the days that you've grown
Out your habits that I've picked up, that I'm teaching at home
That I know Imma have carry for you now that you gone
You watched the peasants picking their fights while you just sat on your throne
Like the queen you are just wondering why it was condoned
Watching struggle part our people, children grow up alone
Losing time the watch ain't fit you
Let's rewind the clocks that hit you
Finding cures for snakes that bit you
Watching pain I'm watching with you
Selling lies you never purchased
Never once carried that burden
Never once left someone hurting
Never quit or closed the curtains
On no one
Your children and your grandsons show me that I belong
Your granddaughters and their children are my will to stay strong
I wish I paid more attention when you were singing your songs
Reaching and teaching me that this entire time I been living wrong
Life ain't, the way it, was back in, the 80's
The world has, been changing, and so have, your babies
And I know, we can't see, the future, but maybe
He'll free you, I'll see you, again my, fair lady
Cause your life, was something, to treasure, forever
Wish we could, spend a little, more time, together
You took all, the pain and, you turned it, to pleasure
The love that, you've shown me, I'll always remember
You did your crossword puzzles saying stop chasing bread
I always thought that you was wrong but I understand what you meant
It's like an endless cycle, hamster wheel, there's never no end
Succumb to greed just to look on fleek just chasing money to spend
It's like a prison for your brain to keep you on that agenda
I know it's sweet to count the green no sugar, honey, or Splenda
They got us looking dumber than those jacking more than one gender
Spending habits what a classic that we live in this dilemma
Cause my craft gon' show that the fast turn slow when the gas gon' blow
And grass gon grow when they blast yo dome when you brag on posts
And you tag these hoes me and my fair lady get sad and mope
Cause the class can't cope need a hat in the snow cause the flow so cold an the crows gon' crow
And the rats gon' go where the cats don't show they face no mo
You the reason I ain't fall to my depression
I ain't falter from your lessons
Always loved our talking sessions
Always said I'm too aggressive in my mind
That's my confession but I'm counting blessings that you gave showing all my self expressions because
Life ain't, the way it, was back in, the 80's
The world has, been changing, and so have, your babies
And I know, we can't see, the future, but maybe
He'll free you, I'll see you, again my, fair lady
Cause your life, was something, to treasure, forever
Wish we could, spend a little, more time, together
You took all, the pain and, you turned it, to pleasure
The love that, you've shown me, I'll always remember
