got it from here Lyrics

Ay pops I heard what you said

In that hospital bed

Wish you was here I cant help it

But youre in heaven instead

I guess it aint go as planned

Doin the best that I can

You said the way you deal with losses is what makes you a man

But I wasnt ready for this

Or shit maybe I was

Last time that we talked

I told you that it was love

Im a man of respect

I cant be nothing less

When you would come to my shows

I always gave it my best

Cuz I knew you was proud

When I wasnt around

You told people how your son was known to fuck up a crowd

And how we 1 year away

If you dont make no mistakes

That you can be the biggest artist ever came out the A

House full of women but me and you we was always connected

Transparent and unashamed of your imperfections

How out in public you would always give love and affection

But in those family settings you never learned to express it

But you knew I knew that you had your demons shit all of us have em

Depression led to addiction I know you hoping im different

Im tryna be optimistic but its hard for me pop

I push it down throughout my day but shit still bother me pop

When I aint know which route to take you saw the star in me pop

You raised a family on commission Set the bar for me pop

Just a man who learned to be a man

Without having your dad to even show you how to be a man

And taught me how to be a man

I got it from here

Look pop I got it from here

Remember me always all days

We got it from here look

Pop I got it from here

I saw you adjust an never complain I just learned from you pop

Thats why im never cool with losing shit be burnin me pop

People be listening to my music say they heard of me pop

And billboard outside of magic had em searchin me pop

But it started live from the basement

I know I kept you up late I was dreaming I had to chase it

Still stunting like my daddy That gift of gab is contagious

If they buying im selling

Watched and learned from a legend

Then my whole life changed on February the 7th

You said look after yo sister

Mel might need you the most

Told me no matter the distance to keep the family close

And call your Grandma sometime

She always ask if you good

She got some problems with her health but she'd be there if she could

Cuz im the last of my name

Tryna smile through the pain

I cant thank you enough

For the way I raised

And for the past few months

Everyday been a daze

Had you for 30 years of my life but it still dont feel like enough

I know I only live once so everyday that im here ima live it up

For you

Pop i got it from here

Pop I got it from here

Remember me always all days

I got it from here

Look pop I got it from here

I got it from here

Look pop I got it from here

Me and my family had such a good time Laughing

Thats right laughing

We out at dinner we couldnt even enjoy our food because I was on a roll

I could of charged admission

And heres what I thought about today as I was getting outta bed

Thats how I wanna be remembered

Laughing and loving People

Laughing and Loving people

Uh and I thought that would be a good message for today

Love and laugh Laugh and love

Everybody go through things

My life is flying by I cant believe im 55

Im already 55 and one day old

Ill be 56 before you know it

But Laughter has made it easy

To go through the things weve gone through
