To Mom and Dad Lyrics by Brian Phillips (Rap)

Before It’s Too Late

2019

March 31st of 91, that was the day I was born
Same day you left, and didn’t say you we’re gone
I’m believing that I meet you someday
Still believing, that’s at least – what I pray
But hey
I’m much older now
Found forgiveness
I found God
My heart’s less colder now
I hear stories all the time
And people say it’s cool
But if You’ve never met your mom
You can’t say that’s true
Went through the records
And it said – that I ain’t have a dad
I can’t be mad
What if my dad - never had a dad?
How could I expect a man to be something
He didn’t have?
I’ve always prayed to understand
Even when I’m sad
I sit in my room
Reflect where I’m from
Think about life
And I think where I’m goin’
Wish you we’re here
To give you a hug
Tears in my eyes
Roll down my face
All of this pain
Leads back to my heart
I think about you when I look at the stars
I’m praying for you, as I hope for tomorrow
I hope for the...…best
Wish you could see me perform
I wish you could hear me record
If they gave a Grammy, I’d probably will turn around, and give you the award
I wish you could me look inside of the eyes
And tell me you’re proud of your boy
I wish that you could see..
That I’m blessed
And to my Dad
I hope you know that I love you
Hope you know that I care
Hope you know
I’m here for you
Even if you ain’t here
I don’t know what you’ve been through
But I’ll listen, I’ll hear
To whatever you’ll share
Ain’t no judgement
Ain’t no bashing
I forgave you
Through prayer
Even if you’re out the picture and you’ll never be here
When I was younger, I can’t lie – that used to have me in tears
Until I met
A father who will always be near
S/o to Michael, s/o Lawrence, and s/o Paul
Them my fathers, them the ones I knew I could call
When I was goin’ through it, needed help - whenever I’d fall
I almost took my life, until I picked up a basketball
But RIP to Paul
Wish you could see me perform
I wish you could hear me record
If they gave a Grammy, I’d probably will turn around, and give you the award
I wish my Dad could see me now
And say that he’s proud of his boy
I wish that he could see...
That I’m blessed
