We Miss You - Richie Righteous

We Miss You Lyrics

Intro:
To anybody who ever lost somebody man
This is dedicated to you
Feel my pain, feel my
Like yesterday I clearly remember
That crazy mixed up night in september
I was sleepin while my sweet dreamin
I was interrupted by my sister screamin
I jumped out my sleep and tried to calm her down
She said, "something's wrong with dad, he's on the ground
And he ain't breathin, his heart ain't beatin"
By the time he was finished your boy was speedin
Out of my room straight into his
What i saw shocked me like voltages
My mom was acting all crazy
Going hysterical, the love of her life was dying
She's prayin for a miracle

I stood next to the tv next to the VCR
Watchin my brother try to give him CPR
If ever i felt the pressure got too tight
If God don't answer prayers, it was that night
My other brother prayed, "Lord give him a chance"
That's when we heard the sirens from the ambulance
The paramedics came, it eased up the pressure
I watched as they took my dadda on a stretcher
Went to the dresser, grabbed my car keys
We was out on the speeder like fifty Harleys
When I got to the hospital I knew something was wrong
The nurse said to my mom, "Your husband's gone"
I begged the Lord, "Please give him back life
I don't want my popsy-oh to die tonight"
That's when the Spirit kicked in all of the commotion
He said, "Your pops ain't dead, he just received a promotion"
Chorus:
(We miss you)
I'm sad that you're gone
To you i dedicate this song
(We miss you)
But I want you to know that your legacy lives on
(We miss you)
I'm so thankful every day for the way that you raised me
(We miss you)
'Cause now I can see it was those things that saved me
At first when you passed, it wasn't easy at all
There were days we had to watch mama punchin the wall
And while the world slept she wept me to tears
Night after night just wishing you were here
For a minute there, I wondered could she carry on?
But God's strength is perfect when ours is gone
'Cause now she's so strong, thanks to the master
She even stepped to the plate and became the paster
And I'm proud of her, I love her so much
And I gotta let you know that your Ishmael touch
Has caused her not to remarry or go out on dates
I guess in her heart you could never be replaced
As for Stace, I know she wish you were here
I got a licence and is graduating next year
She's so beautiful dad, she's all grown up
And when the fellas come around, I'm like hey yo hold up
I question 'em and try to rattle their nerves
I'm customs, the gotta clear me to get to her
I shed a tear when i see her smile
'Cause I know you're not gonna be there to walk her down the aisle
(Chorus)
Robin is teachin and reachin the generation for Christ through is dynamic preachin
He preaches so well
People's like that's a young TD Jakes, I'm like nah that's an Ishmael
As for Bert, competition don't stand a chance
'Cause homeboy's audio is so advanced
I'm inspired when he sings, that's my man son
Industry won't be the same when he puts out an album
At the weddings, your presence was missed
You got some beautiful daughters-in-law and grandkids
Robin married Trudy and they blessed me
They gave me a beautiful nephew named Jesse
Burton married Lorraine the only one that met you
And them two blessed me with a neice and a nephew
His name is Brandon (Brandon)
My man is fine, he's so strong, just like little Samson
Chrystal is the cutest thing my eyes have ever seen
Now let me take a moment to introduce my queen
Dad, she's so gorgeous, she'll say that i'm the man
I'd like to introduce my wife Sherry-Ann
My virtuous one, she's so much fun
The best day of my life is when she gave birth to my son
Everything I lost inside when you were gone
Was given back to me the day that Sevvy was born
I'm completed in Christ so I named him Seven
To remind me that someday we'll achieve perfection
I love him so much, I show him pictures of you
And whenever I discipline him, I sound like you
I'm working on his little sister
I'm gonna raise them the same way you raised me, dad we miss ya
It's hard trying to make it without you
But we can't quit, dad, you never showed how to
Your legacy will aleays continue and I rhyme
And I hope that your mansion is next to mine
My father, my pastor and a true friend
I know that someday I will see you again
(Chorus)
