I wish (Nick Were)

Yo', what’s up, Nick You know I was writing some words, playing pen and papper and just thot I would stop and write to you something for a minute or so, put down the memories we shared…

Nick, we done and been through a lot of stuff together
from running these streets to being down for whatever
And now that you're gone I got no one to make us together
Things we did way back when we was younger
Remember when we used to roll hand in hand
And now I'm trippin' on how I really miss you, man
And remember when you and me would say
We'd get up some day and make it big in whatever way.
You’re outa the hood and in a really bad way
we had the same ideas, but not the same careers
we shared the same old laugh, and now alone in tears
you were my hommie for like fifteen years.
My Brother and never placed no bitch before me
Man, I sear to God I will love you for that stand
Why'd you have to go so soon, Where was I?
I do feel you needed me most but it was too late.

I wish time would fall back, so that I can change it all
Not to die like that and leave me alone
I wish I could see you again, and hang out again
I know it you are looking down at me, saying it will be ok.


You were supposed to get older with me
On stage, hands on shoulders with me
Coppin' them flashy rides with me
saying poems and recording music with me
And if it wasn't for the will that God had made
I'd turn back the hands of time and make sure you are safe with me
Sittin' here looking at the photos and the memories
Just thinkin' about how much you meant to me
Even when you're gone you will always be my brother
When you went home I'm still missin' you, my brother
I'm feelin' like the timing was wrong, my brother
I know you're smilin' down sayin' carry on,
Some times I feel God did me wrong, my brother
So I had to write a song, for you cause you’re my brother
Just to let you know that you're still in my heart
No tears can explain how much I feel, its huge but I only wish.

I wish time would fall back, so that I can change it all
Not to die like that and leave me alone
I wish I could see you again, and hang out again
I know it you are looking down at me, saying it will be ok.


My son will grow and not feel the joy you gave us
You’d be the one to make his days a joy like his birthday
Its so bad he will just see the photos and not be able to see you
Damn, the thot of that makes me feel really so bad
We were to grow that gray beard and watch our sons play,
And we would talk about you getting married some day
be an exemplary husband and a father to your family
we used to ride and laugh, sometimes cry and cry
Asking the lord why certain thing got to happen
We were hommies for like 15 thug years
Sat in church and cried the same thug tears
went to the pub and never let me be in tears
Watched my back, as I watched yours, kept safe always
we never had all in life but made the best out of what we got
It's so easy for folks to say, "Émigéé, just live on"
When I'm dying every second that you're gone
Nevertheless I try my best to be strong

I wish time would fall back, so that I can change it all
Not to die like that and leave me alone
I wish I could see you again, and hang out again
I know it you are looking down at me, saying it will be ok.

on 25th Sep 2010, we placed you to rest, it was a pain to watch get lowered, for so many years i'd never seen this happen. i will for sure miss the laughter we shared and the moments in life we shared. it is depressing but i got to let you rest bro.
