Lyrics
we were never super close but you still my pops
and i got love for that never stop
so don't think i don't appreciate
and they we older maybe can cultivate
a tighter relationship x2
I know its a woman that creates a man
But responsibility of man is to make him in2 a man
but in most case mothers raise the child
change of plans
Being mommy and daddy doing all they can
S/O to single mothers / stronger than the others
and all you niggas chasing figures...
walking out on gifts gods given
i know your conscious eats at you while your still living
wondering purgatory for eternal sinning
whats more important/ than your son or daugthers begginning
but in my story start by saying that im grateful
i cant be hateful his action never shameful
no abandonment you was there
i knew you always cared
when im in the mirror i can see your reflection
hoping that growth comes from introspection
and your learned lessons are my learned lessons
these are my confession
now its years later, ive become a man
i took what i observed and put in the plan
real talk i wish we would of been a little closer
went to ball games throw me up on ya shoulder
or gave me advice about women..but you left me swimming
drowning in the of words jodeci and new edition
the things that we missed, times we can't regain
were things from my childhood that has always caused me pain
the ball games you missed no congratulations, no hands shakes
no agulation...your son mades the papers all-city and state tourney
tho it didn't seem like a big deal , that shit kinda hurt me..
looking thrugh my photos and i can seem to find ya
No post card or no friendly reminder
i know we aint really into taking pictures
but i was hoping I could find a few witcha
as u get older these memories will get ya
Learned behavior, theres so much i do just like you...
fighting myself feels like im fighting you
and there are plenty things that i truly admire
and some habits i rather not acquire
but i got a strong desire to father my son
and give him everything i never had as 1
love, attention and anything thats missing
real talk you my life mission
hope my son don't repeat sins of the father
if i aint teaching why bother, my goal 4 my son is 2 get farther
and enjoy this world, and all the happiness it has 2 offer
be yourself no split identity peter parker
have the courage, to rise from the ashe like arthur
i will help be your guiding light
when things seem dim in the dark of knight
like bruce wayne to believe is 2 fight
against all odds dont live 4 nothing
die for something.
