A Last Thought, Respectfully So

*This song is dedicated to a friend of mine who lost his father

And to anyone else going through the same pain of losing a love one

This is for you*

 

(26s)

Tone: sad, confused, misunderstanding

 

I know it's been a while since you've seen your son smile

And I hope you know, you were my favorite idol

We used to sit by the ocean watching the tides flow

Now I sit there waiting for a sign, yo

So I can know you're in heaven, not hell below

Cause all I care is that you're there and comfortable

Cause living poverty made you a living mockery

I know cause I grew up living in your memory

So I tattooed our family motto,

And carry our family name like it's a title

I swear I love you dad but I ain't suicidal

I swear one day I'm com'n home, hand on the bible

 

(59s)

 

 

 

Yo, when life slips pass ya X3

Gotta grab on the rope, dont cha?

Pop another pill, wont cha?

You won't wake up the same x2

 

I'm sorry you had to go that way

 

(1:31s)

 

I'm sorry for the fights that lasted all night

And all you ever saw was headlights leaving the porch light

For a man trying to live right

It wasn't right, you ever only saw the moon light

Cause you the dad with the greatest hype,

the man with the biggest pride

And guess I, too young to understand

The pain of a man rasin'n a son by his own hand

But guess what, hope heaven is a damn beautiful sight

Cause I'm coming home huggin'n after my last fight

And try as I might have made you mad; cause as a child,

I admit, I was pretty bad, damn

 

 

Yo, when life slips pass ya X2

Ya gotta grab on the rope, don't cha

Pop another pill, won't cha?

You wont wake up the same

 

Yo, when life slips pass ya

Ya gotta grab on the rope

Pop another pill

You wont wake up the same

 

 

Dad, I'm sorry you felt that way...
