Wanted You to Know Songtext
von Brittany Davis

Ah, the way I′m feeling as I write this I can't put in words
Felt like my soul left my body the moment I heard
Thinking back to when we was kids, rapping making beats
Praying to God, I wouldn′t lose you out here in these streets

But you was a soldier, you never would accept defeat
You kept your head in the game and never took a seat
You was determined to make it, your mind wasn't weak
And if you saw me dying, you wiped the tears off my cheek

If only you was here to wipe them tears for me now
My mind really just knowing that you won't be around
R.I.P. to my black king, you deserve a crown
Little brother you live on and my heart not in the ground

I′ma do my best to help water the seed you left behind
She′s so much like you, so sensitive and kind
Niece, Auntie love you, you call me any time
Be strong, you'll always be your daddy′s sunshine


We're standing right here with you soldier
Everybody′s gonna miss you my soldier
No fear 'cause the battle is in over
We would give anything just to hold ya
Make God′s love and mercy enfold ya
He's the truth, way and life, that's what he told ya
Thinking of you when we′re praying for you every day
In our hearts you will always stay

To everybody else on the surface, seem like I′m cool
But deep inside my heart is bleeding, I don't know what to do
I lost so many to violence, this world so cold and cruel
I didn′t wanna believe that one day it would be you

You had so much potential, but they locked it all in a cage
I'm so sorry you lost your life at such a young age
But I know you′re peaceful now 'cause here you dealt with so much rage
In the end, I′ll always defend your honour at every stage

I can remember the days and nights that we prayed together
All of the stories we made up, the games we played together
I knew that God would bless us, we was gon' get paid together
No separation between us, we always stuck together

Looking at your picture right now, I'm thinking man we′re happy
You look so radiant with that big smile, laughing and dancing
Mom, I can′t imagine your pain knowing that he's gone
But he ascended as a king, and now he′s on his throne


We're standing right here with you soldier
Everybody′s gonna miss you my soldier
No fear 'cause the battle is in over
We would give anything just to hold ya
Make God′s love and mercy enfold ya
He's the truth, way and life, that's what he told ya
Thinking of you when we′re praying for you every day
In our hearts you will always stay

We′re standing right here with you soldier
Everybody's gonna miss you my soldier
No fear ′cause the battle is in over
We would give anything just to hold ya
Make God's love and mercy enfold ya
He′s the truth, way and life, that's what he told ya
Thinking of you when we′re praying for you every day
In our hearts you will always stay

Rest in peace, Trey -
I love you and I'll miss you
I'll miss you so much, my guy
Rest well, rest in paradise
Until we meet again

Trey the bully, now my heart′s got a hole in it too
I love you Trey the bully
I love you Trey (I love you Trey, we gonna miss you so much)

Hi daddy, I love you
I wish you was back and
Just know that
I know that you′re watching above me
I wrote a poem, a poem to you
I hope you love it
I love you daddy
