P Walsh - I Wish I Had One lyrics

[Intro] This song goes out to my grandfather and anyone else out there who lost there's... RIP [Verse 1: P Walsh] 2010, middle Novem' what happened? Hopped in mom's Cadillac after practice Tragic, mom's dad had pa**ed, it Had her flattened by this fact, it Was Cancer, all up in his blood There I stood, would've cried if I could But a flood didn't rush out like it should I knew things weren't looking good For Joe cause you're out of luck when you're stuck with marrow that's got Leukemia Mind wasn't narrow I knew he was f**ed Even with Chemotherapy you're done From the jump, sister's sobbing, mom is shocked and There I was feeling nothing Felt like I was just going to console the souls of my cousins Soulless, back then I wasn't good with solace A light departed, and a month early came the winter solstice [Hook: P Walsh] I wish I had one man I wish I had one (x2) Everyone's got a granddad man I just wish I f**ing had one Damn, I wish I had one [Wide Awake Sample] Boy: Are you scare? Grandfather: No! B: Not even a little scared?! G: Nuh, uh B: Why not? G: Cause I know God will take care of me when I get to him [Verse 2: P Walsh] Flew to the ill city of Philly Dude, the wake didn't even drill me Walked in, out of the winter wind so chilly, nippy k**ed, he laid in the casket stilly Felt silly, my thoughts all willy nilly Everybody was crying, even Chippy Emily couldn't go near the body Pissed off at these complete strangers' sorries So I just started constantly nodding nonchalantly My actions were probably naughty But I was worried, still feeling nothing Wrongly, that night, I rested softly While everybody else was sobbing awfully soppy, but not me I caught the cotton cot, the next day ought to be long and soggy My top was walking not running or even jogging All I thought of was the basketball I was missing What the f** was wrong with me? [Hook] [Wide Awake Sample] Boy: How do you know? Grandfather: A man knows B: What if you get there and you find out there is no God?! Who's going to take care of you? G: Don't talk nonsense... [Verse 3: P Walsh] The next day the set changed Distress came, walked up the steps aimed At the church doors, gathering at the first floor Far more than forty four conversing in the foyer Forced forward in the corridor toward a pew in the forth row With a surge of emo, the ceremony was a go Had to go up and read an unauthentic message Presented at every d**h, I just recited each sentence An American flag was placed on his coffin This is when it started, I lost it When I retreated to my seating The choir started singing 'On Eagles Wings' As we were leaving, Dede was leading Me, the tears were streaming I couldn't believe He would make him leave me We went speeding to the last step, the cemetery To cement the funeral, my show of emotion was no longer futile If God would've ask me I would've given a refusal We stood around his hole, the gloom was mutual A volley shoot saluted and mix with the musical I placed a bloom on his tomb, my goodbye was hysterical As he was lowered down to his home below All I could think was, "Oh no, Papa Joe, why do you have to go?" So, that was the last time I saw him I wish I could've gained some knowledge but I lost him Before I was old enough to want some In the end it was the toxins that got him That's why I advocate science in society and aggregate sobriety There's no denying he could've guided me But now I can only point my eyes to the sky to see If he really spies on me RIP [Hook] [Outro] [Shoop]: Hey, didn't you say something about a girl or you have a girl in mind or something? [P Walsh]: Nah, nah [S]: You sure?
