(Applause) and the winner
For the best rap album goes to
Ludacris it’s your year baby (Applause)
This goes out to my father
Who is in critical condition right now
I appreciate your prayers mr wayne Bridges
I love you
Rest in peace Wayne Bridges
You're still living through me listen
Look, I lost my father to the bottle
I'd hug him everyday like I
Might not see him tomorrow
Got a enough sorrow for a lifetime
Cause when he was living I'm thinking how
Do I get him to listen
When he was seldom in his right mind
My early years I was too young to understand
But I remember the smell of beer
And seeing all the empty cans
Waking up, crying in the night
Hearing arguments hands off my momma
Somehow I knew he was the cause of it
Got a little older and he got a little worse
Drinking must be his remedy
He got a little cursed
Well, tell me what's the cure for
A man who miss his pops the beat goes on
But the drinking's gotta stop
If I had have know I
Wouldn't see you tomorrow
I would've had you hold to your heart
And put your love in a bottle, hey
But now you got me drunk out that pain
Gone after sorrow
Wishing every day you were here with me
But now that you're gone, I lost
My heart to the bottle, to the bottle
Ooh oh oh
Yeah, I lost my father to the bottle
Functioning alcoholics what they call it
Far as I know
Became a teenager and started to understand
But even through drinks he still taught
Me to be a man so before the hospital
Where the paramedics rushed him
Any and everybody who met him
Instantly loved him
Ironic how conjure Would have
Made him even sicker
Cause who gon' tell him he can't
Drink none of his son's liquor
And tell me without my father how
Am I supposed to manage?
He had the biggest heart
But also had that liver damage
Tell me what's the cure for a
Man who miss his pops the beat goes on
But the drinking' gotta stop
If I had have know I
Wouldn't see you tomorrow
I would've had you hold to your heart
And put your love in a bottle, hey
But now you got me drunk out that pain
Gone after sorrow
Wishing every day you were here with me
But now that you're gone, I lost
My heart to the bottle, to the bottle
Ooh oh oh
Not a day goes by that I don't miss ya
And don't wish you were here with me
No matter what you did, I forgive you
I lost my father to the bottle
Tell your parents you love 'em
You might not see them tomorrow
I swallow my pride
Try to put my problems aside
But I feel so hollow inside
Gotta keep my eyes on the prize
Cause I'm steady wishing you were here
To see the goals that I plan to reach
You left the day after I put
You into my Grammy speech
It's almost like you waited just
To see me win well, pops I can't wait until
The day we meet again
If I had have know I
Wouldn't see you tomorrow
I would've had you hold to your heart
And put your love in a bottle, hey
But now you got me drunk out that pain
Gone after sorrow
Wishing every day you were here with me
But now that you're gone, I lost
My heart to the bottle, to the bottle
Ooh oh oh
I can't get over you you you, hey
Love in a bottle, hey hey oh, I miss you
I wanna see you tomorrow
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you tomorrow
I miss you, you you you you
I love you, you you you
For the best rap album goes to
