Patterns? |
You took your first steps today |
And I was nowhere to be found |
Busy keeping my head above water |
Until my feet could find the ground |
Red flag on my resume |
Cause it’s the second time around |
Too young to know I let you down |
Too young to know I let you down |
And some days are so much easier than others |
So much more about me I needed to discover |
But never had the chance (I'm sorry) |
This is me saying sorry in advance |
I’m just a kid raising some kids |
With dreams of making it big |
Tryna make a name in this biz |
I became a slave in this bitch |
Was hoping I could maybe get rich 'cause all I got |
Is these words that I jot, I never had a jump shot, I’m not |
A scholar, but l learned that the world is turned by a dollar |
Whether I wear a mask or shirt with a collar I gotta |
Provide but that ain’t even the only thing that’ll quali- |
-fy me as being a father, my pops ain’t even bother |
Left me toggling with toys as a toddler momma, 24 with two kids |
What her and Ruth did, was put a roof over our heads |
Cause niggas is ruthless |
View a newborn as a nuisance |
Or a noose that he would lose when |
He cut ties with all of his loose ends |
And I do spend, a flew blue moon |
Wondering where you been |
And assessing, and assuming |
No aggression, you just human |
And a blessing was sent in your direction but you eluded |
And neglected, and refuted, that’s your lesson, I’m the student |
And l used it, to father myself |
Now I’m in my second parenthood |
Shit, I’m a father myself |
Was never a product of wealth or prodigal |
I’m a prodigy, came from poverty |
Now I’m popping and purchasing property |
Reversing curses and pocketing profits |
Fulfilling my prophecies |
And my kids, they gon' reap the rewards |
Far cry from sleeping on floors |
Hard times we’d weep and we’d mourn |
That’s in the archives we seeking reform |
I was there on the first day of school |
I’ll be there at the graduation |
Like congratulations and I’m glad you made it |
I’ma let 'em know they made their dad elated |
I’ma pad the savings, they could blow a milli |
If they had the craving |
No more being poor and feeling agitated |
No one gave it to me shit, I had to take it |
I’m that same bastard used to rap in basements |
Then I activated, now I get racks to say shit |
I’m acclimated, got 'em captivated |
Any acts of hatred they just cappin' ain’t it |
Had to patent my own patterns |
I’m just glad that I didn’t take after David |
Yeah, I said your name, and you lame |
If this end up in court in a affidavit, that’s all I got |
And some days are so much easier than others |
So much more about me I needed to discover |
But never had the chance |
This is me saying sorry in advance |
