Reach The Sky Lyrics

Aye

October tenth 1961

A legend was born

Thats my pops

Melton L. Southern

On February 14th at 11:00 pm

I got that call

That no child ever wants to receive

This for you

Aye Pops!

I'm crying like where you at tho?

I remember me and Milton at your back door

He picked me up, slid me round the city

Then he took me to your house

You was waiting just you and pat tho

Being at your house right now, don't feel the same

I know all of my sibling can feel my pain

Now our worlds in this condition

Got to see the snow fall

But it ain't the same because you're missing

You wanted me to see so much

It hurts cause its different now

My son will never feel your love

With you, he'll never get to smile

Why at the peak of our relationship you leave us tho

Feel like I'm a kid again

You still suppose to see us grow

I wish you could just love on my brothers and my sister too

One last conversation

All them things that we don't get to do

I'm not questioning God

I'm just writing these lyrics

My hearts talking

I just hope he can hear it

Pops I hope you can hear it

From the heart

Just trying to write this song to you

Forgive me pops

If I was ever wrong to you

Never in my life

I thought that I would see this day

Never thought I'd be prouder

That I belong to you

You told me I had it in me

You was really right

Now my pops is gone

Guess thats really life

God I don't need an answer

I don't need the why

I just pray you let me see him

When I reach the sky

Your sister singing at your funeral

I promise Pops

Your whole service was beautiful

There's really nothing to complain

Only thing that I would change

I'd play some cameo like you would do

Picture your sons holding your casket up

I hope we gave you all you could ask of us

Your wife and children is in pain

Tears flowing like the rain

Our worlds will never be the same

Like Its really final now

There ain't no confusing it

See your casket lowered down

Got Mike and Ashley loosing it

Milton and Joseph held us down

My big brothers kept us close too

You'd be proud

Did exactly like our big brothers supposed to

I know you'd probably shield us

From these things that we gon go through

I feel you smiling down forever

Something we can hold to

Can't control these tears falling

As I'm writing these lyrics

Our hearts talking pops

We hoping you hear it

Pops we hoping you hear it

From the heart

Just trying to write this song to you

Forgive me pops

If I was ever wrong to you

Never in my life

I thought that I would see this day

Never thought I'd be prouder

That I belong to you

You told me I had it in me

You was really right

Now my pops is gone

Guess thats really life

God I don't need an answer

I don't need the why

I just pray you let us see him

When we reach the sky

You tellin Ashley just breathe

Tellin Mikey just breathe

And Milton Just breathe

And Shawn just breathe

And Joseph just breathe

And Mario just breathe

Mama Pat just breathe

We all gotta breathe

From the heart

Just trying to write this song to you

Forgive me pops

If I was ever wrong to you

Never in our lives

We thought that we would see this day

Never thought we'd be prouder

That we belong to you

You told us we had it in us

You was really right

Now our pops is gone

Guess thats really life

God I don't need the answer

I don't need the why

I just pray you let us see him

When we reach the sky

I want y'all to close your eyes and envision my Pops

With his bass in his hand right now

Just listening to this instrumental

And what he would do to it if he had the opportunity

You know we gotta find our reasons to smile

Fareal

Aye Pops

I love you and we miss you

Man
