lyrics

Dear dad, I'm just penning this letter
Just to let you know I'll never forget ya
I know you watching all the messes i made
I can hear u now, boy, why dont you pray
To who? Some invisible guy that's in the sky
Who gon watch all my moves and judge em when I die
I'll pass but the boys gettin bigga
Mir so stubborn, he remind me of my sister
Mod think he grown tryna do things on his own
Shirl got em tablets, they even working these phones
I want you to be you proud, look down n smile
Who woulda thought I'd have my own child
I always wanted a brother so i was blessed wit twins
Now i got two sons and i gotta raise them as men
Teach em what you taught me n what i learned in life
Be mindful who you love, dont make mistakes twice

Dear dad, I hope that you can understand
That I'm tryna be a better man
I hope that you can understand
That I'm tryna be a better man
Dear dad, I hope that you can understand
That I'm tryna be a better man
I hope that you can understand
That I'm tryna be a better man

Dear dad, I'm just tryna be a better man
I hope that you can understand
Having respect and morals is important to me
But some people never learn.. unfortunately
I dont know it all but i know what i know
So I share it wit my people to help them grow
Reach one, teach one is the song I sing
Give love to the world, you'll receive the same thing
You taught me that a patient man never show his hand
Be grateful for whatchu got and always take a stand
My mom had a habit i hope you forgive her
All i got is memories and a couple of pictures
Im grateful for the time we got to spent together
Even gave my son ya name so it live forever
My fondest Memory is your gold tooth smile
And you always picking me when i fell as a child

Last but not least ya baby boy is a man
Im learning to accept things, i dont understand
Like.. women instance, times is different
Women movin like men so positions is switching
For everything you been thru, your a wonderful guy
Kept a clean suit so you always was fly
As i bring it to an end, I wanna thank you again
Greatest dad in world no man can replace him
