Was It Worth It |
On birthdays and Christmas I used to have you on my wishlist |
Held my son the first time, looked him in his eye |
And thought to myself, what kind of fool would ever miss this |
I ain’t ask for you to sleep with mom and make me |
Plus I’m your blood, why would you leave, what was so important |
They told you smash broads, roll up the weed |
I guess that buzz got you high enough to float over me |
I hope that every dollar that you made, every girl that you slave |
When you close your eyes at night, I hope you say it’s all worth it |
Every graduation, birthday, game that you missed |
I hope what you got instead make you feel it’s all worth it |
Being a father’s expensive and its cost you may ignore |
Just know me and your grandson is paying for it |
Can’t ask myself what would dad do in hard times |
'Cus that means he’ll be writing one of these rhymes |
All these hearts that you broke, all these lies that you told |
All this pain that you own, years all alone |
Nights away from home, tell me |
I hope it was worth it, was it worth it |
Tell me was worth it, tell me was it really worth it |
Listen, a lot of rap dudes never had a daddy |
That’s why we want approval from Nas like he family |
But, it ain’t just Jermaine, it’s Dre to The Game |
To the Birdman saying that he’s the father of Wayne, man |
What happened to us better yet what didn’t happen |
No happy family 'cus daddy left me |
Deep in this Valley, of the Shadow of Death |
I’m felling the breath of a preditor on my neck |
Ate me alive while daddy was getting high |
Trying to chase after something that I’m certain he’ll never find |
When the whole time, he could have had my young mind |
Somewhere along the line I guess he spent up all his time |
Sent me this birthday card out of the blind, when I was nine |
Inherited a bunch of pain and some empty memories |
Wishing that he picked me up from elementary |
I wish he could have seen me on my graduation |
Taught me to raise the son, and told me congratulations |
All these hearts that you broke, all these lies that you told |
All this pain that you own, years all alone |
Nights away from home, tell me |
I hope it was worth it, was it worth it |
Tell me was worth it, tell me was it really worth it |
