Pop's Gone

Papa gone
Not to mention
Feeling
Farther from home
In a zone but not really
In the zone
Really feel alone
Lone Ranger
No clique
No sidekick
Villains I be livin
In my mind with
Hope when you can't find it
On some never mind this
Reminded
Leave bullcrap where you find it
Used to be among the winners
Play time and family dinners
Good life
Holidays in hood kitchens
Me and pops
Sitting in the tall chairs
Choppin' it up
Life in the ghetto
It was more than enough
You can't go back to
What used to be
But I just want to acknowledge
Everything you did for me
Cause perfection's hard to grasp
Never one to give advise
And I'm never one to ask
So while I'm caught up
In this zone
I'll put my thoughts in a song
I realize that Pop's gone
He's gone

Pop's gone
We in the kitchen eatin' chicken
Thinkin bout the past
And all the drama in it
Hood livin
In the ghetto
With the good business
Preach the gospel
But nobody listen
They say the skies the limit
But Jim Crow
Steel toe
Crush ya ribs in
Too careful
We too timid
If life is worth living
Go harder
Push farther
Antonio Tarver
Vince Carter
These dudes
I'm the man that you made me
I don't even care if you hate me
It's like lately
I'm trying to be
Where the great be
Whether Hi-Tone or New Daisy
Go off like M80
Truth is
Losing you changed me
East Boogie raised me
Yeshua saved me
So while I'm caught up
In this zone
I guess I'll put my thoughts
In a song
I realize my Pop's gone
He's gone

If they don't know struggle
They don't know us
Life full of hustle
Car full of rust
Life in the jungle
Where dreams get crushed
Where young girls cus
Fights on the school bus
Strength is a must
The echo of the slums
Talk about us
We talk through the drums
City sideways
Crime pays
White collar
Get knocked
Pops say we gotta fight harder
Not a dollar to my name
Just a brain full of game
Real men separate
The real from the lame
A real father recognize that kids Ain't the same
Meet you where you at tho'
Hit you with some info
Keep it all simple
No flossin' on the god
Be patient
Understand that life can be hard
So while I'm caught up
In this zone
I guess I'll put my thoughts
In a song
Papa's gone
