Dear Papa

Daddy, don't You know I love You
Uh, Dear Papa
My Daddy, there's no one above You
Yeah, Dear Papa
My Daddy, don't you know I love You
It's to my Daddy, y'all
My Daddy, there's no one above You
Check it... The Holy Ghost told me to get me a pen and pad
And talk about my Father, my Papa, my Daddy, Dad
He makes me laugh and cry, from "Ha ha!" to "Boo hoo!"
From cradle to casket, through "Ga ga!" and "Goo goo!"
He taught me how to fist fight, then told me that I shouldn't
He told me that I can, when I thought I couldn't
I wouldn't do right, I was a pretty bad and bold kid
But He stick with me? You know what, He show did!
And if He had left me, I couldn't blame Him
'Cause I was so wild as a child, I didn't claim Him
Too busy being fiesty, too busy being horny
Too busy thinking that the coolest Guy was kinda corny
I use to stumble and tumble, sorta like a linky kid
They said my Father loved me, but I didn't think He did
I wanted a lot, but I was not receivin' 'em
He was my Daddy, but I never did believe in Him
I never got it, and I know my Daddy has more
I wondered why I never got one thing I asked for
However, I'll never ever let it grieve me
'Cause even though I dogged Him, not once did He leave me
For many years since the hour I was born in
My Daddy woke me up every single mornin'
With no clock, and even though I was a cold rock
I just wanna be a chip off that Old Block...
Daddy, don't You know I love You
Uh, Dear Papa
My Daddy, (you know what I'm sayin'?) there's no one above You
My Daddy, don't you know I love You
Yeah, Dear Papa,
My Daddy, (that's right) there's no one above You
Yo, imagine hearin', "Stop or I'll shoot!" from a copper in a chopper
That's how I feel without my Papa
Helpless, but now that I'm doing what He told me
I feel safe when I'm chillin' with my Old "G"
Can't go wrong, now I'm strong, 'cause He's the strongest
Check out this one guy whose been bullyin' me for the longest
He would always trick me, and beat me, and kick me
He treated me like a sucker, could've sworn I felt him lick me
He pounded on me so much that I weighed him, I hate him
It killed me that as good as I can fight, I couldn't fade him
I thought my Daddy dissed me, it turns out He missed me
'Cause all He wanted me to say was "Daddy, please assist me?"
Then we had to get him, we hit him, and even bit him
It fit him the way we did him, me and Pops got wit' him
Now every time he tries me, we beat him like a drum and
As long as I'm with Daddy, bully ain't got nothin' comin'
Who these people represent, you shouldn't be debatin'
My Father is God, the bully is Satan
Believe and grow, even though I know I'll never freeze sins
Father, I want to be closer than Siameze twins
I praise and worship You, I love You 'cause You're in us all
I got faith, I'm gonna serve You like a tennis ball
Through God I will fulfill any endeavor
For Thou is the Kingdom, the Power and Glory forever!...
Daddy, don't You know I love You
Yeah, Dear Papa
My Daddy, there's no one above You
It's to my Daddy y'all
My Daddy, don't you know I love You
Uh, Dear Papa
My Daddy, there's no one above You
