| I was a knuckle head that would waste time and earn money
|
| On the road to nowhere but
|
| Things changed when I’ve turned twenty
|
| Everytime I’ve held you my inner darkness will turn sunny
|
| A baby boy into this world that will learn from me
|
| So I had to change a few things and make better decisions
|
| Cause I can’t do right for my son if I’m dead or in prison
|
| I put the dumb shit aside but drama stuck with me
|
| Some things went wrong with your mama so I got full custody
|
| I promise to raise you right and prepare you for when you’re grown
|
| But I was only twenty one raising a toddler on my own
|
| But I did what I’ve had to do and rose to the occasion for you
|
| To be placed in my custody was truly amazing
|
| I’m usualy chasin' the paper, gone most of the day
|
| I hope and I pray you’ll understand and know that I stay
|
| I work so I can provide for you, it sucks we don’t get to play
|
| And I’m so sorry that your little brothers both throwed away
|
| But Chris I won’t go astray, I know you used to people walkin' out
|
| They don’t deserve you in their life, so you can toss 'em out
|
| I’m always here for you, you’re destined for an awesome route
|
| Know what I’m talkin' 'bout?
|
| Until the end I’ll give it my all
|
| I’ll never go away
|
| I’m sorry I can’t see you everyday
|
| But y’all know this, life is hard
|
| Things don’t always come together how we plan
|
| But I will be the best father that I can
|
| Malik and Solomon lately your lives been full of drama
|
| I wanna apologize it didn’t work out with your mama
|
| We wanted to be a family since then alot has died
|
| I just want you to know that I gave it a honest try
|
| I never forget the day she took you and left
|
| The pain has stucked inside of me, it’s like a hook through my chest
|
| And when it hits I feel the emptyness, like I’m dying and I’m lifeless
|
| I’m trying hard to fight this, I’m crying while I write this
|
| Everyday I miss you and it constantly is eating at me
|
| Wonderin' if you’re ok, you’re healthly or you even happy
|
| I wanna help you and I pray I don’t fail
|
| I heard your baby mama knew baby daddy can’t stay out of jail
|
| That’s one of the reasons why when I have you
|
| I hate to send you back
|
| Cause he is not a good example of how men should act
|
| But y’all are smarter than that, so I’mma give it a rest
|
| Just tell your mother I still love her and I wish her the best
|
| And I’ll be watin', lookin' for a two next summer vacation
|
| We can make up, for all the missed birthday celebrations
|
| And I wish we didn’t have to wait
|
| But even though your mama moved you to a different state
|
| Until the end I’ll give it my all
|
| I’ll never go away
|
| I’m sorry I can’t see you everyday
|
| But y’all know this, life is hard
|
| Things don’t always come together how we plan
|
| But I will be the best father that I can
|
| Try to find the balance of the work, family and the music
|
| You see, God gave me this talent therefore I have to use it
|
| When I’m away I miss you more than you could truly know
|
| I wish you were with me everytime I’m at the studio
|
| But I try to provide better life for you and that’s my mission
|
| You gonna be men one day, so I gotta teach you the definition
|
| It’s all about livin' and learnin', every mistake is a lesson
|
| Turn the negatives into positives and appreciate your blessings
|
| Don’t fuck with hoes, find a good woman
|
| And become a good soother, and Kayla
|
| I wish that I could been part of your life sooner
|
| Anytime you need me, whether you’re hurt or ever sad
|
| I will always be here for you, being a father you never had
|
| Cause I love y’all to the death of me, and even beyond that
|
| I know my life haven’t been easy, I’m tryin' to get it on track
|
| I never walk out of your life, no matter where your mom’s at
|
| I’ll always have contact |
