Sins of a father lessons for a son

Walking down the path of life

Twists and turns, joy and strife

Every step a story unfolds

With lessons learned and truths retold

Mountains high, valleys low

Through it all, we learn and grow

Life's a journey, a winding road

In every moment, a tale bestowed

Together, we'll embrace each day

In the light and in the gray

You're my guide, my constant friend

With you, my journey has no end

Mindsets plagued and generationaly cursed

The only way we leave aways in a Hurst

LIke Ain't no fucking way we were birthed

From mothers who ain't know what they worth

So they threw it all away at the first escape

Couldn't wait to leave till after first grade?

Till after I learn to write more than my first name

Well that was just the first heart break

Then you'd come back just to part ways

Like leave it your all or leave it alone

Ain't felt at home since I was young

Pops dealt with the same with his mom

And even today it goes on ......you left, i was a kid, still playing with sticks, never thought much about it, or about you, but i never knew the impact of a father on a childs life until i got older. had to learn alot, so much shit on my own, how the fuck do you change a tire dad? how do i shave my fucking face, how do i pick up the ladies dad?

cuz of you confidence I displaced

where the fuck were you during the cps case,when I lost my job? when I lost my fucking house, when I lost the fucking kids, lost the fucking wife, Almost lost the will to live,

and still you don't know about any of this all the shit that your gran babies been through,

and bitch I'm your son

,should mean something to you.

but hey imma be a better man stand taller than you for my son,

he deserves a father to be his number 1

down with his problems and if he had to run to me better believe I'll be there for him
