Faheem Abdul Aziz Ibn Ali Newman |
I gave you that name, boy |
I will never stop being sorry that your home got broken |
Feel like I owe you for the road that I chose |
But I believe things happen the way they’re supposed to |
And you’ll always be with me wherever I go |
I was right there for your first breath |
Used to lay you on my chest when you slept |
I fed you, changed you, read to you, bathed you |
I ain’t tryna' hold that over your head, I’m saying thank you |
God put you in my arms for me to teach you |
Sometimes I gotta not be popular to reach you |
But boy look me in my eye when I speak to you |
I tell you these things cos I believe in you |
Respect, patience, excellence and truth |
Make good choices and always follow through |
But above all else know Allah always watch us |
And everything we do comes back upon us |
Alright, lets talk about your Mummy |
I need you to know I used everything inside me |
To make you as healthy as you could possibly be |
And I just couldn’t see a good future for us three |
And you gonna have questions as you grow |
But there’s certain negative things that you don’t need to know |
And baby boy thats what this is about |
We live, learn and figure it out |
I just pray you don’t remember us sleeping on the floor |
Have me cleaning mouse droppings outta your toys |
It took alot of hard work for us to get where we at |
And young man we ain’t quitten at that |
Just know that it hurts me to death when I leave and go tourin' |
I’m scared that it might make you feel unimportant |
But our bonds so strong that the moment I get off |
We seem to pick right back up where we left off |
I tried to say I do it for you |
But in my heart I know thats not entirely true |
So if I ever come home and feel it hurt us as friends |
Swear to God I’ll never tour again |
I ain’t never met a child quite like you |
Words don’t suffice for me to describe you |
You have a genuine goodness inside you |
I watch you and wonder if I was ever like you |
It’s me and you brother for life |
So when you put me in the ground look for me in the clouds |
You make me the definition of proud |
Taught me what this life is really about |
Faheem |
