Dear Dad

Man, this ain't the news I wanna hear Is this the outcome After all these years I wrote this song down While I was dropping tears Because I'm, I'm tired of this You don't belong there I don't care what you did You never had it easy Mistreated as a kid No matter what happens I'ma be here to the end I don't care what they say You'll always be my best friend Until your last breath I'll hold your hand Whether it's over the phone Or behind the glass Or maybe it's in person With a second chance I'll even write a letter For you to understand It don't matter where we at This where we stand The Law couldn't keep us apart That's why they mad Even behind them walls You was still the man It don't matter the circumstances I love you, Dad And I don't need a song just to tell you this But I'ma put it in an album to make it hit I'ma make it out the struggle off my muscles I do it for mom and the kids I gotta hustle Yeah, you know the vibes We ain't leaving you behind Ain't nothing to a kid when it comes to rhymes Speaking straight facts I ain't telling lies They gon' hate either way But that's life I was mad as a child Cause I ain't understand Moms tried to explain it But I ain't give a damn They had me on medication They say I was too mad But they ain't understand I was missing my old man oh man And even as a grown man I'm still mad But even on our worst days We gotta praise Praise the higher name The name that gives us faith The name that makes a way The name that brings light to the darkest days And I wrote this from the heart, Dad I guess it ain't all bad At least it ain't about death in this notepad Yeah, I know it's hard, Dad But this only just the start, Dad Only God can judge you, not another man And all we know is keep pushing We don't look back Cause at the end of the day It's in God's hands, not another man And I don't need a song just to tell you this But I'ma put it in an album to make it hit I'ma make it out the struggle off my muscles I do it for Mom and the kids, I gotta hustle Yeah, you know the vibes, we ain't leaving you behind Ain't nothing to a kid when it comes to rhymes Speaking straight facts, I ain't telling lies They gon' hate either way But that's life And I don't need a song just to tell you this But I'ma put it in an album to make it hit I'ma make it out the struggle off my muscles I do it for Mom and the kids, I gotta hustle Yeah, you know the vibes, we ain't leaving you behind Ain't nothing to a kid when it comes to rhymes Speaking straight facts, I ain't telling lies They gon' hate either way But that's life And I don't need a song just to tell you this But I'ma put it in an album to make it hit
