Huh
Huh (woo)
Ooh (rrr)
Is this one of those?
You already know what it is

Dear son, I look in your eyes and see my own (my own)
You look in my eyes and see my thrown
As many times as a tried to talk to you, explain to you (explain to you)
See it didn't mean a thing to you (damn)

Love you, but right now, I wanna bite you (bite you)
Wanna give you a hug but I might bite you (bite you)
Be a man about it, we can admit when we're wrong
Come on, get off that kid shit you on
If you'd paid attention, you'd a saw it comin'
But you a man looking through the eyes of a woman
Always gonna love your mama (always)
We just drifted apart
Y'all my kids, y'all my heart
And you got more brothers and sisters 'cause I got more kids
And hey, it's just what it is
You the oldest, I've known you longer
But I don't love them less, had to get that off my chest
And I don't know what you thought about my use of drugs
But it taught you enough to not use the drugs
When you were a kid, you played with toys, okay
But you a man, put them toys away
What I'm saying is stop thinkin' like a child
'Cause what if it's when I'm (damn)
Gone that you realize you're wrong (damn)
And we could have been best friends all along (ayy)
It would kind of defeat the purpose of this song
917-915-4804
Give me a call, I live you boy (and that's the truth)
(Call me)

Yeah, yeah
Ayy, I let you down
Shoulda been there but I let you down, not too late
Not too late

I can't give you yesterday
But I can learn from my mistakes, not too late
It ain't too late
Call your father
Call your father

Dear Father, shoulda been there when I needed you
Shoulda been there when the Devil had a hold of your soul
(Hold of your soul, hey, hey)

Ayy, I let you down
Shoulda been there but I let you down, not too late
Not too late

I can't give you yesterday
But I can learn from my mistakes, not too late
It ain't too late
Call your father
Call your father
