Lyrics:
You
Summer 2011
You came into this world I was far from prepared
First time in my life I truly was scared
At the time and yeah my actions werent fair
Well I was scared of my dad
Never repaired
And I didn’t want to be him
Couldn’t dare to
But Even then I still failed you
I chose her over you
first years that you grew
first picture that you drew
First steps in first shoes
I didn’t buy you I was lost no clues
Daddys gone same newsh
Dam hate that this is true (pause)
can’t take it back yea time really flew
But now that I’m here it’s a family fued
Kills me to see the way your mom raises you
But your love towards me Ill forever Pursue
This letter to you is far overdue
Apple of my eye most precious of jewels
Spring 2020
I knock at your door by my self this time
With my ex out the picture decisions are mine
It’s better late then never (pause)daddy grew a spine
Long talk with your mom leave the past behind
Teary eyed can’t believe it now you’re now 9
Where we go what we do daddy daughter time
Riding bikes flying kites finally felt like a dad
Took you fishing bought you things I never had
It was great for a while but it really didn’t last
You became a preteen tryna grow up to fast
Daddy who? Rather hang out with your friends
Those TikTok trends no more weekend plans
Got mom at the palm of your hand
It’s normal not to me they won’t under stand
As the glass drips it’s sand
Guilt trips but can’t argue with what I intend
Just Tryna be the best father thAt I can
Present day and forever
Went from iceskating together to hating me
Saying I ruin your life repaying me
For leaving you wish your mom dated me
You don’t see we can be a family
Co parents yeah getting along civilly
For your well-being mentally and physically
Dad and daughter dance on your sweet 16
Stop saying you don’t miss me
promise this time I’ll take you to Disney
Babygirl I’m the Marcus to your Minnie
Wont be mad when you find your Mickey
Dance again when he gets down on his knee
Got us together tatted on my wrist see!?
Making me turn back to bad thoughts with whisky
Taking these Zolofts till daddy gets dizzy
so lost With out you need you to need me
Making me question why that cancer didn’t finish me
The answer is YOU literally
