See Me Like This

Wake up, by this mic
Come to visit for a minute
I heard you’ve been admitted 'cause your liver’s gonna give in
I told you if you didn’t quit this shit you’re gonna kick it
And if it wasn’t drugs then the drinking would’ve did it
Still I ain’t here to lecture you
I know I’ve done enough of that
I’m here to say I love you still
I’m hoping that you’ll love me back
All that stuff at pointing tracks
It’s because I’ve just been mad
The way you didn’t raise me man
You ain’t been good enough a dad
I don’t hate you but it’s just the facts
I shouldn’t have to be ashamed of you, but I am
It’s easier to blame when you’re in pain
But I don’t understand why you having a baby
Didn’t make you try to become a man
It wouldn’t be the same if you were taking up another path
What would it take for you to change?
I always wondered that
Now I see you as your life
You never stood a chance
But bringing up the past ain’t gonna get my mother back
As you laying in your hospital bed
Going over what the doctor has said
You offered your apologies and
I said don’t worry and to follow you said:
«I didn’t want you to see me like this
I never knew this town was so small
Back when I didn’t even exist
I thought you weren’t around here no more»
The day I met my son it really sunk in
I ask myself «How come you didn’t love me like I love him?»
Did you not get the same feeling inside
From my eyes is a his the minute I look in
Similar footprints and never leaving his life
Like the ones left in mind from the figure I put my trust in
Tell me why you’d let the drugs win?
Wasn’t there something that said that I was a good thing?
I think it’s time you started telling me the truth
About what happened in the past that was so terrible to you
To leave a family behind
And live a life that was heroin infueled
As you laying in your hospital bed
Going over what the doctor has said
You offered your apologies and
I said don’t worry and to follow you said:
«I didn’t want you to see me like this
I never knew this town was so small»
Back when I didn’t even exist
I thought you weren’t around here no more
