Dear Father Lyrics by TroyLLF

Til Death Do Us Part 2

2020

1st verse:

When I was young I used to try to run the streets/ pops wasn't having it, he kept it out the beef/ he kept wit a job, and my mind right/ he taught me how to switch it up and keep my grind tight/

But look, when my mama couldn’t handle me/ my daddy brought to live with em and challenged me/ he challenged me to be accountable and stand up/ he even taught me how to build the legend brand up/

When we was sleeping on the couches and floors then, my daddy worked his ass off to get us more than/ more than he felt he could offer, but still, he never ran from the offer/ to be, a real man that had to stand tall/ we ain't have much he made us feel we had it all/ although we fussed and fight that's just the growing pains/ watching you take ya last breaths that was a different pain/

Hook: If I could be Just like my papa ....if
I could be right here with you)

Place no one above ya...... don’t ya know we love ya/

2nd Verse:

Two sons how could you not lead/ you took responsibility to get up out the streets/ real fly real modest, that's where I get it from/ he had a way wit the ladies that's where I get it from/ big smile still the life of party still, knowi if he at the bbq he prolly on the grill/

Thinkin bout the love that he had for me, he never left me alone he cared for me/ I was proud that my pops was his pops, and he her pops, for those that ain't have they pops/ ill still trade it al for you, I'll skip the fame/ that bond forever I could never shame the family name/ my daddy made it clear, when I was 7 years, that he'll never leave me stuck but then he left me here/ I shed my tears as a man, but the plan, I had to really grow to understand/

Hook: If I could be Just like my papa ....if
I could be right here with you)

Place no one above ya...... don't ya know we love ya/

3 Verse:

Shoutout the fathers making efforts to be there/ and love to my daddy on the real cuz he was there/ he passed away and dawg I had to cry/ that was dawg, man I was the apple of his eye/

To all my brothers standing tall, I salute you, it's targets all on bodies don’t let them shoot you/

To all the fathers with daughters make sure u treat em right/ make sure you kiss em and hug em and hold em extra tight/ make sure the kings that you raising shine extra bright/ make sure you crown em don’t down em man they ain't the fight/

Shoutout the kings know yo presence is important/ the ones that’s really working when the cameras ain't recording/ see this is for the fathers that deserve to be acknowledged/ you here with a purpose, when you lead people follow/

It ain't a way that we can pay it back/ but the reward to our young'ns is to pay it forward/

Hook: If I could be Just like my papa ....if
I could be right here with you)

Place no one above ya...... don’t ya know we love ya/
