Soon (feat. Dave East)

I'm writing this letter to tell you
I miss ya
The kids doing better, we hold it together
Saw Joe yesterday
And he told me to tell ya to stay strong my bro
He said "Don't let them stress ya"
Alicia starts school in a couple of weeks
And she's so dammn excited
She's counting the sleeps
And I'll send you some pics
And I knew you to phone I'm so sorry my baby it's taken so long
I'll come to visit you soon, soon
It's 'cause you know, I always got the kids in the afternoon

The moneys been low so we're doin' whatever
The car had to go got two jobs in the summer
And while I remember you know
I go Stacey
She found out she pregnant with twins they been crazy
And Ken hes still mad but you know how he is
They come round invention they don't take the person
No right or wrong way to feeling like this
Everyone's still just adjusting I guess
I'll come to visit you soon, soon
It's 'cause you know, I always got the kids in the afternoon

And sometimes I daydream that I'm at home cooking
You come through the door and say "Hey babe good looking"
I miss how you touch me,
I miss how you love me
I love how they rob me and hate how the rob me
See Jake started speaking, his first word was truck
They say what a surprise just like
Father like Son
Some days with the kids I get so f*cking angry
It's breaking my heart when they asking "Where's daddy?"

I'll come to visit you soon, soon
It's 'cause you know,
I always got the kids in the afternoon

Never know which way life will come at you
Never know, this life come at you fast so buckle up don't crash
Plastic bags, pack them after class
Just thinking back to the past
Emotionally rich, physically broke
Negative seas get plain and spirits can't grow
Kiss ya and know about our altercations
Keep it verbal, told you I heard you
Being nosey, how you caught up in issues that don't concern you
I wish, I wish that time could speed up
See if you're worth the time
Pretend to be fake enemies
I've seen before familiar kind
Yeah I got your letter I ain't have the time to read a million lines
It's from the heart I understand
But you're clever within your mind
Ritious I could never shake
Options got a limit to them (...)
from where the children have ruined I'm with the strip influence
After school you get the kids
Wasn't there when I did my bit
That's why you won't get to live with a bad boy
I did it big
Paid the rent I kept it fresh
The crib is plush I filled the fridge
Now we owe some distance shit
You aint heard on the wish to pay
