เพลง Ask Heaven (Album Version)

Ask Heaven - Heavy D

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

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

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

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

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

Thanksgiving day came home

surprised the family

Walked inside the crib

the mood was wrong damn

I heard my moms in the background

screamin on the phone

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

It wouldn't take long

he lived right around the block

I tried to stay strong

but I was shakin a lot

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

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

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

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
