[Spoken intro:]
|
I just thought it was appropriate to, uh
|
Just to give a shout out, or show my appreciation to all the fathers
|
Cause I hear a lot of rappers say or brag about not having kids but
|
Guess what? I do
|
So I'd like to send this record out to all the daddies
|
You know the real daddies, taking care of shit
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
This one's for the skateboarders, emcees, b-boys like me
|
Street artists in magazines, DJs with babies
|
Working hard, you never sleep, never get to spend they time at home
|
Send that money but you never see him
|
Always working, daddy's gone
|
To the brick laying, dirt digging
|
Burger flipping in the fuckin kitchen
|
Just to get that check on Friday
|
So you could bring back home what was missing
|
Everyday is feed my kids day
|
End of the month is rent day
|
And if you don't get back to work on time
|
They tax you for that month's break
|
For the d-boys holding weight
|
And for the daddies who are locked away
|
Doing time cause you was doing crime
|
But you was only tryna put down a plate
|
Maybe to get some baby J's
|
In the 80s, hey, that's how we raised
|
And to the men feeding a friend's child
|
When that friend has passed away
|
I've got to say
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
Yeah, to all my closest friends
|
And all the father figures in my life
|
You know I really, I just wanna say thank you
|
Yo, for real
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Happy father's day
|
No matter how you getting paid
|
You hustle hard, you show the way
|
Happy father's day
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Tell my mama not to worry about me
|
Cause I ain't never had a second to forgive my dad
|
I can't help but to believe in myself
|
It's not really a choice but a matter of being a real dad
|
When I came to the world I knew I had a talent
|
But I never would imagine I would be a young dad
|
And I grew up like weed overnight, through the crack in the concrete
|
Look at me, young daddy
|
Tell me how to walk away from a child
|
And I'll tell you how to walk away from a million dad
|
If you can walk away from a million bucks then you never gave a fuck
|
You a dumb fuck, dad
|
To look up and see a man above you
|
To tell you that you ain't invisible, that's a muthafuckin' daddy
|
So why did he push you, and teach you how to fight
|
If you didn't fight, fuckin right, that's a good dad
|
Gotta take a second now show love to the trailer park apartment hood dads
|
A man who ain't got a lot but in a minute he would drop it all
|
Do anything he could do daddy
|
Jesus, when I go to see every baby mama who never had a real dad
|
Don't take it out in the baby or maybe even the man when he's only tryna become
|
A real daddy
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
... cause it ain't easy
|
But it's a blessing man
|
Makes you work hard
|
To all the hard workers out there
|
I just wanna say
|
|
[Hook:]
|
Happy father's day
|
No matter how you getting paid
|
You hustle hard, you show the way
|
Happy father's day
|
