ODE TO DAD…
Man I don’t know
The changes I am going through
With you
Your baby’s mommas too
29 years I always wanted to know
On my birthdays why you never show
Now you telling me
It was destiny
When you had the chance to break us all free
Me and my brother
First time to meet
Didn’t realize, the cage we share
You got the key
Now baby sister joins us in our flight
To get next to you
Try and make it right
You lucky, boy, you lucky indeed
You got 3 who want you
Want you to be
In their lives
Loving sharing
There are kids out there who ain’t even caring
Who they daddy is
Or where he’s at
And when he pulls through, they tell’em
Get back
Hell no
No
Not me
I’m just as stubborn
I’ll make you see
You say I’m driving you nuts
Being rude
Coming all outta da cuts
Gnaw nigga gnaw
You da one who’s rude
Leaving our mothers
To smoke you crack with dude
You want respect?
What you asking me for?
You threw it away
When you walked out the door
I can’t stand you
Oh how I love you
You get on my nerves
Oh how I’m ready to serve
Don’t throw it all away
Behind her
Give me what I ask
And nobody gets hurt
Brother has nothing to say
He lets me do all the talking
He’s my alter ego
My saving grace
When I am feeling real low
He helps me run the race
The greatest gift you gave me
Is DDK
Damn I love him
Damn dats my ace
So now what pops?
What you go do?
Stay in denial or are you through?
I ain’t never met no one
Quite like you
Uh opps
I take that back
There was Chris, Wardell and Pru
And dat other cat
What was his name? Julian I think
You all acted a fool with me
I need a drink
Mama, not momma, told me how u was
How you go act like nothing happen
Only and because
Drugs do that shit to you
Get ya mind all twisted
Although it sounded like an excuse
I still try to listen
For some reason I thought this would be easy
But you choose to make it hard
You’ve no desire to ever try and please me
Fighting battles, me in this corner
You in the other
Tell me something
Do I smother?
Call too much?
Asking questions?
Demanding?
Branding?
Making suggestions?
You don’t wanna dwell in the past
Nothing can be changed
Well get your shovel out brother
Carry the chains
We got to dig, brother
Fathers at the bottom of D-WELL
I got the love water
You got the brew
No magic spell
Just the love of Jesu
It’s hard to compartmentalize
And organize these feelings of mine
So many themes and styles
Much to say for a long while
Sweet children, I know its gonna hurt
And guess what, it gets worse
All the bullshit never really ends
It’s just integrated, when making amends
This is how you deal
With mother and father that left
Eat your wheaties daily
Get plenty of rest
Come on now brother
I’m tired of singing
About our stubborn father
And all his sinnin
