Ourfather.

(I didn't and will never use the thesaurus or word lookup on here.

I only want to share my talent. Everything is straight from my heart and mind.)

 

VIerse 1

This for all my ladies tryna make it on your own

Humble beginnings that started with a broken home

 

This for all my ladies lost, tryna find your way

Hopin that he'll say "baby love you" one day

 

And this for all my ladies that grew up without a father

How many of us can say we're secure and not bothered

 

By empty promises and abandonment issues

Drama

 

Gettin all your strength and your self worth from your mama

Knowing all along your father shoulda been there

 

To tell you you're the prize, hold doors and pull chairs

To tell you that he loves you everyday and show he cares

 

In the way he treats his mother, your mother

It ain't fair

 

Tryna figure out these things all by yourself

Surrounded by wolves in a forest with no help

 

Only pen and pad console tears that welled

In my eyes, your eyes

 

Without our father we dealt.

 

Verse 2

And I can't stand them dusty n***as that be tryna get at you

Self-entitled and cocky just tryna f*** with your mental

 

Steady playin on your heart

Somebody just blow the whistle

 

And open my eyes to the skies of somethin bigger

Deeper than than a well of lies

 

Stronger than "I apologize"

That goes back to earlier, darker times

 

Wishin my father woulda been there to shed light

An incomplete fatherless life I hold tight

 

To memories of us being able to sit and talk

In spite of everything you're the foundation and the stalk

 

Of a tree whose apples have grown so beautifully

The apple of your eye I'm hopin one day you see

 

I made you proud and welcome you back with open arms

Being a grandfather one day or maybe not haha

 

Until then one can only pretend

My father, our father

 

Love you now and loved you then.
