Daddy's Shoe

Rarity, I was born in the late 90s
You can guess boy I'm just in my 20s
One son off my mama womb
I guess I'm lucky
I'm off to school, now i gat to live solely
Life hit me
So I wrote this song for my daddy
Just to say thank you
I'm grateful and I'm sorry
I now see clearly
All your mistakes were cool tho
Compared to what I might do
Here is some kudos
Please Don't rush the man in me
Who knows
I might be too slow
I'm still learning how to pull through these loop holes
I haven't even dive in
I only dipped like two toes
I'm catching cold feet oh! Lord life is too cold
I wanted to be settled once I finish college
Reality hit me like a tidal wave
Now I'm wide awake
Life is more than dreaming and wishing
I better start living for something
And with what I'm seeing
It gat me thinking like

How can I follow your footsteps
When you shoes are dirty
I tried to put it on
I took two steps
Now my socks is smelly
How do you do this
I mean your daddy duties
Cause all I know is daddy do this
But now I know daddies do this

At home
My parents bedroom is called mummy's room
As kids
We hardly saw dad sleeping in that room
He's always off his back to make ends meet
Before we could get a hug or a kiss he was yet on another trip
A real player, never around, always away in the fields
Never in the kitchen but always taking all the heat
From a distance I stare at your seat
Looking at what you've gone through
And you're still on your feet
To say the least
I've seen you handle defeat
You persist
You dance to your tune
like you make your beats
And when times got hard you went on your kneels
You taught me Humility is key
Pay attention to relationships, it's something you gon' need
Pride is a disease
It would leave you on your knees
Life is not a rat race, don't go after the cheese
Chase purpose
You made me understand how the game of life works
A man of faith is a man that works. And that's my Pops

How can I follow your footsteps
When you shoes are dirty
I tried to put it on, I took two steps
Now my socks is smelly
How do you do this
I mean your daddy duties
Cause all I know is daddy do this
But now I know daddies do this
