Hello Xavier, this is your dad gimme a call Xavier gimme a call, later What's up Xavier this dad gimme a call, later Hello Xavier, this your dad gimme a call Hey man I was calling to see how you were doing I hope you are doing okay I calling to see what time You was gonna come & pick me up tomorrow So, we can go get that check Xavier, gimme a call, later Imagine a daddy who loved all of his sons He nicknamed them all after pieces of guns Not to send them to streets or teach 'em about heat But to teach them to write and explode over beats Put his heart in his kids and they grew into men Taught right from wrong by walking in sin He was far from perfect but always there In world full of people pretending to care He was a leader they loved him three thousand A musical genius like Andre three thousand He fed the hungry & strengthened the weak He worked at his job 5 days out the week His homies loved him he accepted their traumas He took in sons when they got kicked out by mamas when they check had no commas, he broke them with bread Balancing three boys and keeping them fed He tried to be good when running the streets He tried to be God when destroying these beats He tried to be dad when raising his boys Sports, videogames, candy, & toys Did while missing what slipped through his fingers The white gown, the tux, the ring on their fingers A story that'll make criminals cry No one forgets the day that their daddy dies Imagine a daddy who is one of his sons The youngest, the most rebellious one Who pushed all the buttons and tested the waters The son who was blessed with nothing but daughters Who picked up the pen and followed his daddy Called to identify what's left of his daddy He was in the room but far from there In a world full of people pretending to care The world falling apart my anchor is gone Only hear his voice through message and songs My daddy said only the strongest men cry But nothing prepares you when superman dies For when a doctor says they tried their best But it's time to put your father to rest You fill up with hate, you drown on your fears You starve all your joy Dehydrate from tears You feel so alone you start to deny Ain't no fucking way that my daddy died Life is not fair this shit ain't a game Experience this pain and you're never the same So, listen when I say answer the call Cause a day will come when it ain't ringing at all This ain't a story this is my life 2 weeks later I was consoling my wife What's up Xavier this dad I just was saying I was calling to tell I'm sorry I couldn't make it You know what I'm saying I really wanted to be There for you, you know and be there and uhh Meet everybody you know what I'm saying Cause I know I haven't met her whole family But you know I didn't have my clothes & stuff But you know I hope everything is going good Over there you know what I mean and I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you man hit me up alright later You know it's just healing, and I got wound care And everything but uhh I still love you guys you know What I mean I never forget about you I go to a different Dialysis but at the same time I still love you guys you can Speak to me any time you want to you know how life is with Hey Xavier, this dad I wanted to thank y'all for everything Y'all did for me yesterday and I had a great time with you guys And my grandkids I was loving it I had some of that cake it was Really good Imma eat some more tomorrow when I get up But uh once again I wanna thank you I appreciate it Hit Me Up
