"Dad's Letter" lyrics

Smoke dawg baby, remember that shit

Young light-skinned, born leak every pen
Since I was 10 probably name all the trouble I did
Neva participated, I'm like "Fuck all them other kids."
Like I don't owe you child shit when I make it big
But a little respect, fuck y'all though what do you expect
Never raised a gentlemen like Ne-Yo said
Looking for hero heads, but I don't see none yet
All my friends, weed and cigarettes so I take a hit
That's some potent shit oh there go police man
I ain't scared of shit, but hell yeah I ran
Lost my money clip ever since wrap rubber bands
Biggity bam, did a couple of scams, made a couple of grands
Fast forward to the Ford Escort, I ball with it
Too quick 14 no license, that's some awful full shit
Now must stack ketchup like condiments
Kinda just wish you taught me how to be a man

Growing up all I wanted was a father figure
Me and mom alone every dinner
One day I hope you hear this I pray you doing better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
If I sent my dad letters
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
One day I hope you hear this I pray you doing better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter

Word is, 10th grade kick out the crib
Like where I go from here, lucky I had a girlfriend
Remember money make the world spin
Running around the big-body Benz wondering who in this
That's pedestrian, spoiled kid, never that
Worked too hard to get where I'm at. Thinking, "Fuck school."
But next semester I be back, I hated rules
But ruling the world I often dream of that, dream of meeting you, dad
Mom's really getting mad when I call you that
I don't understand, your phone numbers all I ask
She laughs with her jaw dropped like the movie "Mask"
Damn so I then reply resort to raising my own little man
But I'm too young for that, wait I take that back
I shoulda used the hat, my girl getting fat
Whatever results make sure that
I'll be there like you wasn't dad

Growing up all I wanted was a father figure
Me and mom alone every dinner
One day I hope you hear this I pray you doing better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
If I sent my dad letters
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
One day I hope you hear this I pray you doing better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter

Double 0 9 lately really it's been on my mind
The pain eating me alive one verse at a time
And this heart problem ain't helping at all
It's a cardiac diagnose, just wanna stay at home
Dying slow so I bought a fast car, and a couple of charms
Now family and old friends wanna be involved
Some nigga tryna marry mom he like my songs
I find it odd sometimes wanna fucking shoot his head off
Am in the wrong, didn't think so moving on
I'm working on my new album if you singing songs
But rap is what I does, turning 20 soon
Then 21 then 22 like Emmitt was
Everybody sleeping on me time to wake 'em up
(Wake, wake, wake 'em up, wake, wake, wake 'em up)
Now everybody chasing us like they missed the bus
And girls wanna roll like a blunt
P.S. "Your only son"

Growing up all I wanted was a father figure
Me and mom alone every dinner
One day I hope you hear this I pray you doing better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
If I sent my dad letters
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
One day I hope you hear this I pray you doing better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter
