Eligh - Emotion lyrics

"I wish that I had been there to hold you when you pa**ed from life to d**h, but I guess it was meant to be that way: you were always alone. I Hope you were not scared. You're in a better place now with the Lord, that We love, and you are whole. I miss you. I'll never forget you. I love you Yesterday, today, and forever. Love always, your daughter." PGrouch] Why does God let good people suffer, and bad people prosper? My grandma loved me more than anybody on this planet She let me know it and I think that's why she landed The way she lived was just a little bit different now Call her crazy, diagnosed schizophrenic, Wow She was a patient at a hospital for most her life And when she wasn't she was f**in' with somebody's life She used to lock my mama in the basement for no reason The same basement we made meats in and peace in If that's all I ever got from her I loved her for it But it's not, she always thought that Cory was the purest She built me up and let me know it like I needed to Grandma I learned from you and also how they treated you They would pump you full of d** like you was a horse So many d** you ain't never coming home for sure Now when we visit, are you lying? Are you telling the truth? Grandpa ain't the enemy, he just didn't know how to deal with you I guess what's out of sight is out of mind I know it's true because that's how I kept you out of mine Your body was strong though You was in it for the long haul, on call, waitin' for God to take you Devil tryin' to break you but you never let up Just recited that Bible to the end, you was tough Your life was rough, and your pain was real You hurt for us, and now I know the deal You had cancer, Parkinson's, arthritis Non-stop shakin' you couldn't fight sh** twenty-plus years This verse is not enough for what you went through, and what you meant to Brings to me tears You helped me be who I am today You live inside of this man I pray Forgive me I ran away, I know you understand though Because we all live for a reason, one of yours was thought to grow (faint) Thanks [Eligh] My earliest memory of you was in the ocean tides The current pulled me under the water up above my eyes I was a little guy, just a little shy, my younger days Lookin' at you and it makes me wander the beach just like you; phase it Last the song: you was the strongest person that I knew Growing up thinking I was stunted every time I grew You put a red notch on the doorway in the laundry room Making you proud was the main achievement I pursued And when I quit and threw in the towel, man it ripped me up To see the look on your face when you came to cla** to pick me up Now I see you just wanted me to follow through A lesson in life that's more important than to follow you I remember that time in life: that warehouse, you were workin' nights Two men came in to rob the place and almost took your life You showed them pictures of your son and daughter: "Let me live" The cry you must've gave while staring down a 12-guage And for a moment in time they put you in a birdcage And for that moment in time you didn't have a word to say Playing catch with you in the backyard were the funner times Runnin' around the baseball diamond were the funnest times And I remember the word "divorce" scorched my corpse for remorse Where the fighting in the hallway and the slamming door now I'm seeing you On the weekend forever for, but that's the score Now that's a common day occurrence, in the United States The love was lost, but now it's found again for you to stay And now you're working every day to get that mortgage paid Blue collar to the bone Spend your days away from home Wish today would be the one Twist a greater beamin' sun Make my way and be your son Pay your way until your done That's a goal in life, for real I want you, Dad, to know the deal Workin' ya fingers to the bone Just to spend a night at home And no, I don't regret the way Our relationship has played across the board and on the stage That's how you love every time I spray my words across the USA And who's to say: This is the right way To love the people you love the way you love 'em f** the money In a funny situation In the past Father and son's love last You helped me be who I am today You live inside of this man, I pray That I could make you understand that I love you, all the way All the way
