A Song For Fathers

(专辑： Milestones - 2020)

Understood it back then but even more now
It's easier to feel it when it's your child
When forever is the only thing you want now
Middle man with the baton, pass it on down
Pass what he gave me to mine in due time
From how to put a fist in the air to shooting five
To how to not give in to fear when the blues arrive
He said my only job was making sure you survive
Duly noted, all the direction that you were throwing
I might not have known where it led but I knew the motive
So all the conversations that might've turned into more
Was to keep me from writing from the other side of the wall
My friends never had their pop so you became it
Yours died when you were a child so you related
Taught us that everything you are and what becomes of you
Is usually everything that was be front of you

Believe it
Younging do believe it
Super hero dad, capes on, you know how we get
And this one is a song for my father, let the radio repeat it
A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
Like everyday is Father's Day weekend
Celebrate it, celebrate it, celebrate it
Yeah, velebrate it, celebrate it

The day that the baton came to me
Heart started jumping when your mom came to me
And said that you were cooking
I was overlooking Brooklyn knowing we had to leave
Cause I wanted you to see more when you repeat after me
You were born I was torn, a feeling never before
But I knew the world waiting for you is forever more
Every cop that's outta pocket with his rep in his in his hand
And every word thrown at me to make me less of man
Was all fully aligned here for you to take part in
So put your whole chest in whatever you put your heart in
I put it on the table there's nothing that can surprise you
Keep you the wiser before they try to Korey Wise you
Miles the miracle, every part of your breath
Doctors told me my only hope was IVF
So know that everything that you are and what becomes of you
Is usually everything that be in front of you

Believe it
Younging do believe it
Super hero dad, capes on, you know how we get
And this one is a song for my father, let the radio repeat it
A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
Like everyday is Father's Day weekend
Celebrate it, celebrate it, celebrate it
Yeah, celebrate it, celebrate it

If there was ever a man who was generous, gracious and good
That was my dad, hollow tipped his way out the hood
Shot through it and showed me how to hop to it
Like never let nobody ever say what you're not doing, unless it's me
Same rule apply to the one that I made
Only one I'll give it to if he wanted my lane, all yours, nothing that I won't provide
From the first time that you saw the world and you opened mine
My pop made sure that I was all the way fine
Even when him and my mom were saying all their goodbyes
So shout out to my mother and all the mothers for their comforting
The best ones got a father that's in love with them, right
So this is for the father's support
The ones that you couldn't pay enough to walk out the door
And the ones who know that everything you are and what becomes of you
Is usually everything that be in front of you

Believe it
Younging do believe it
Super hero dad, capes on, you know how we get
And this one is a song for my father, let the radio repeat it
A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
Like everyday is Father's Day weekend
Celebrate it, celebrate it, celebrate it
Yeah, celebrate it, celebrate it
