Ayo my pops taught me everything. Did all that he could and I'm much obliged
I'm looking up, he's looking down, we both watching the sun rise
Taught me how to scrap, then put me on rap, and put me on game
Don't chase women or the fame. See them books? Go use your brain
Taught my jumpshot... "however you move, Boo get your money"
How to stand like a man, thru the rain, it ain't always sunny
Down in Philly every summer, preparing for vacation
Working all year, for 2 weeks off, this man's patient
When you young, you never get why your parents go photograph
Every single moment, knowing you loan it, until they pass
Think I understand. You know a picture says a thousand words
And you gone hear every single one once the worst occurs
I'm speechless, try to move on but I'm losing hope
Weeks pass, see the calendar; God must be playing jokes
Oh for heaven's sake! They tryna have me in the worst way
Pops passed, then Father's Day, they put it on my birthday?
I'm locked in. Head still twisted, oh I been dreading
First text I would've got, the only one I'm never getting again
No pretend I lost a friend in the end
2 hours after we talked, I'd never hear him again
The day that grandpops died, first time, I saw my pops cry
Told me, one day I'd be stronger, I guess my pops lied
Or maybe I just hold in so much sadness, when I let it out
It overflows, I overdose, on shit I can't forget about
The elephant, in the room, is louder than ever
Son, mind clouded, simply whether the weather
Oh that's clever! The dates, lined up, so he could reach me
The only lessons, in life he knew that he couldn't teach me
Another trip, around the sun the son'll take his place.
Can't hold my hand, to promise lands, I see I must embrace
But cant replace, the energy, he taught me everything
It hurts, but its the only way a prince becomes a king
Ayo I wrote this joint on Father's Day
