This goes out to my all time favorite preacher
My all time favorite Sunday School teacher
Who'd call my name out from the third bleacher
Whose belt was a hand extended when he couldn't reach us
Who'd drop me off inside of my school and then pick me up
Both when the day was over and later on when life got tough
Who'd sit with me and Kyle and laugh at the dumbest stuff
But always made sure we knew that we were smart enough
To not only bring home good grades (Straight As)
But to excel in each and every sport we played
To be bold enough to stand in front of the church and pray
He was the one who taught me to thoroughly clean my plate
And how to handle pressure gracefully and with poise
How to quiet my spirit amidst all the noise
He would share in the excitement of our favorite toys
Just to spend time with his boys--his pride and joys...

Even if I looked, I'd never find another
No need for me to try, I won't even bother
My biggest influence, yeah he's got that covered
And this man will always be more than just my father
The greatest inspiration I ever had
Ain't nobody quite like my dad

Because of him, I try hard to always be nice...like him, I find myself fighting sleep by Chewing ice...he taught me that success never comes without a price...to be bold Enough to go thrice if I should fail twice...he'd keep a close eye on me to see what Would be next...put me up on Billy Graham and on Malcolm X... Said life's a movie--let The Bible always be its text...guided me down life's highway, to avoid the wrecks...he Was a father to my friends in the neighborhood, cheering us on should he find us out Doing good...attending parent/teacher meetings like a daddy should...and if there was Ever a could, he most certainly would...the hobbies that we enjoy are one in the Same...Can't draw like him, but we both be on them bowling lanes...could count on Hearing him yell Chief! at my games...but the title of son still means more than any Name...

Even if I looked, I'd never find another
No need for me to try, I won't even bother
My biggest influence, yeah he's got that covered
And this man will always be more than just my father
The greatest inspiration I ever had
Ain't nobody quite like my dad

I think about this man each and every single day
I talk about him when my words seem to find a way
To express all the things that my heart prays
And if we were face up, this is what I'd say:

Dad, you're my hero and you'll always be
The very influence that kept me up off the streets
The organic earthy soul that flows through me
Is from the toil and soil of Clarksdale, Mississippi
Over time, I selfishly acted in my pride
My eyes wouldn't show the tears that my heart cried
I should've reached out--yeah man, I should've tried
For every time I said I was cool, simply put--I lied
And I'm sorry I disappeared without a trace
Except a text message to say Happy Father's Day
I'd run to the other father figures with haste
Thank God for them, but your presence couldn't be replaced
I've watched and I've learned from you since I was a little baby
Taught me I could never be too far for God to save me
So without a thought of if, possibly or maybe
I reached out to you and you forgave me
I'm not surprised, but overwhelmed that you did
World's best dad, you still have my bid
To this day, my all-time favorite kind of gig
Is the one where you're smiling saying, that's my kid
And that's why I still mimic the stuff you do
And I still want to you to design one of my tattoos
Either way, this is and will always be true
I always have and always will love you
