| Its like am I, am I doing this for a reason
|
| I don’t know, I don’t understand sometimes so
|
| I know its harder for y’all to understand so Imma sit down and write this
|
| letter to you
|
| Let all of y’all know how it feels for daddy
|
| (Verse 1: Kutt Calhoun)
|
| There ain’t no words to express the way that I feel
|
| But hopefully this song can connect you to what is real
|
| The life that I live is so demanding with trying to rock the planet
|
| And I just hope my babies understand it
|
| I’m knowing while I’m gone you’re steady getting older and older
|
| I know this walking with this bird under my shoulder
|
| So Malik and Andrea, Unique, Dari and Darius
|
| And O’Shea, never had a clue on y’all could prepare for this
|
| If I could just vent for a moment, please understand it
|
| Daddy’s intentions was having your best at interests when no one else mattered
|
| Bringing my kids into the world is a blessing to me
|
| With 4 boys and 2 beautiful little girls
|
| I cling onto all of our memories and the pictures you give to me
|
| Help me remember what I’m never here to see
|
| So please keep your mind I’d be dreaming about you
|
| Until the next time I see you, continued on Page 2
|
| (Chorus: Krizz Kaliko)
|
| So I’m sitting down and write to you
|
| Hope this letter gets you through
|
| I can’t see what you can see when you’re crying
|
| And so another birthday passes through
|
| Daddy can’t make it home to you
|
| So know inside my heart I’m slowly dying
|
| (Verse 2: Kutt Calhoun)
|
| Andrea, when you moved out to Charlotte, a part of your daddy died
|
| Had to tell you goodbye, and I can see it in your eyes
|
| So I tried to be strong and tell you everything was fine
|
| But had to turn away quick cause I was crying
|
| That’s why I don’t understand why your mama moved you away from me till this day
|
| So I plan to be stable so you can stay with me
|
| Cause all the pain and problems that life is lived as you fight em
|
| And the win and I hope your mama realize (Come on back T)
|
| Shea, if you reading this letter, wish you was here today
|
| But everything up the road in St. Joe is in disarray
|
| And that’s no excuse when when me and your mama produced you
|
| Didn’t ask to be here so why are we both acting stupid
|
| You’re an honor roll student and got a future in sports
|
| So you deserve that I give 100 percent of support
|
| Me being gone doesn’t make it better I know that you missing me
|
| Miss you too and I promise it’ll get better I swear it, you’ll see
|
| So I’m sitting down and write to you
|
| Hope this letter gets you through
|
| I can’t see what you can see when you’re crying
|
| And so another birthday passes through
|
| Daddy can’t make it home to you
|
| So know inside my heart I’m slowly dying
|
| Darius, damn my little banner of glamor
|
| It’s been a couple of years so tell me, how was Atlanta?
|
| I see you talk with Atwain now, but that doesn’t change how
|
| You wish to be here with your daddy, gritting the same route
|
| Came back for the summer I can’t begin to explain how
|
| My heart skipped a couple of beats when we got to hang out
|
| We picked up your brother Malik, the oldest, he’s thirteen
|
| Had a ball, we was cracking up at the table at Applebees
|
| You still got a bro and sis you ain’t met Darioni, Unique
|
| Dari is 9 and Unique is 10 and you all need to meet
|
| The sooner the better because y’all growing so fast
|
| We need to all get together, try and catch up on our past
|
| And keep in touch for the future between you brothers and sisters
|
| But I give props to your mothers for raising you and the troopers
|
| Do anything in this world for you
|
| I’ll show you what Imma do
|
| And Deana remember that I love you
|
| And your mama too (So let me see my kids)
|
| So I’m sitting down and write to you
|
| Hope this letter gets you through
|
| I can’t see what you can see when you’re crying
|
| And so another birthday passes through
|
| Daddy can’t make it home to you
|
| So know inside my heart I’m slowly dying |
