| Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all
|
| Daddy do these, I done did a 50−50 job
|
| Physically I’ve been detached, divorce took its toll
|
| Of course, I wouldn’t fold

| Phone calls from afar, hangouts and all
|
| Daddy do these, I done did a 50−50 job
|
| Physically I’ve been detached, divorce took its toll
|
| Of course, I wouldn’t fold, and none of it was your fault
|
| Before I get to things that glow, show the growth, dawg
|
| Begin my atoning my sins, young kings I caught
|
| You cuz 'cause you royalty, hope you see why I did it this way
|
| Live with the dismay, my issues on display, hey
|
| Sort of escape the way I was livin' them days
|
| Seekin' sunrise and the shade, hopin' one day to be paid
|
| In this career you get played
|
| But it was escape from the harsh realities
|
| Utter bed I made, where I lay, my options weighed
|
| «Bye-bye, I wave» type of decision could’ve been great
|
| But a slave to this rhythm, I couldn’t stay
|
| Disappear, re-appear, couple jewels in your ear
|
| Take it to cut, you here back at it where
|
| I belong, distant, but near
|
| My imprint persistent, it’s instinct I care
|
| I was so selfish to barely help with
|
| So much my momma dealt with, karma left me so helpless
|
| Had to touch the bottom surface to resurface like a diver
|
| I was there for dirty diapers and go-go gagas
|
| Somewhere I lost survival tactics, steps backwards
|
| Can’t raise bastards, present in the classes
|
| My mom mastered, that single mother load carried
|
| Your momma did the same, this shame I cannot bury
|
| Not to worry, there’s a village raisin' princes
|
| Jada, she’s a princess, unified within this
|
| Love your mommy, you know they’ll love your pops
|
| The princess now your sister, plantin' seeds and breedin' crops
|
| We are strong, ready, able
|
| Strong, ready, able
|
| Strong, ready, able
|
| Strong, ready, able
|
| Fool, I’ma feed you food for thought, jewels
|
| I’ma feed you jewels the way I carry them like crowns, pops
|
| It’s the teacher and a student, father and a friend
|
| Whatever roleplay, let’s share it like gems, emojis and DMs
|
| hugs and kisses, shake the atlas
|
| XOXO, live, love, laughter
|
| Strong, ready, able |
