[Verse 1: Derek Minor]
|
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 it cost you may ignore
|
Just know man, your grandson is paying for it
|
Can't ask myself what would dad do in hard times
|
'Cus that that man he'll be writing one of these rhymes
|
|
[Hook: Crystal Nicole]
|
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
|
|
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
|
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 repetitiveness 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 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 he to raise the son, and told me congratulations
|
