Rip dad

Lost my dad a few years ago felt the world fall from under my feet,Pain in my chest, voices telling me run to the streets.My Old life calling me , I can hear it in my sleep,But I look at my son and my daughter and that’s promise I need to keep.

I done seen dark nights cold hearts and empty homes,Trying to break the cycle so my babies ain’t alone.Temptation in my ear like go and get it how you know, But I’m fighting every demon just to give them something more.

Daddy used to tell me “son, be stronger than the pain,”Now I carry that torch while I’m walking through the rain.I could slide back quick, yeah the street life know my name,But my kids are watching me, so I’m changing up the game.

Every tear that I shed turn to fuel in my chest,

I’m a father first now, gotta give them my best.

Lost a king when my dad took his final breath,

But I’ll honor his name by the life that I protect.
