Sloth

Every moment every convo we broke bread
Hang around pops was an upgrade know the ledge
Know the path, know the truth, focus to be wise
And he was a man of his word, I saw it in his eyes
And he always spoke the truth even when he lied
Even when he smiled, it was love going deep inside
All he wanted from me was a better man
An outstanding African rising out of neverland
Just to break these chains in atrocity
For me to be the guy that will rise and accomplish it
It didn't matter if the path was my artistry
As long as the grades from my class came promising
And he never really doubted on me
I know he's looking down happy and he's smiling on me
Smiling at his boy and he knows am smiling back
Pop guardian angel always got my back

Father, I'm a sloth
I'm slowing my own calling
This is not what you told me
Father, I'm a sloth
I'm slowing my own calling
This is not what you told me

I was arrogant and ignorant, but he never gave up
And he still stood by my side and never said much
He knew that I would grow to dad same stuff
Same comedy my young boy to be acting up
Show him like he taught me when I'm holding up to show him
How to be a man when the rough gets going
Tough gets going heads up eyes open
Ears wide open when the time really gets hopeless
To be the man of the moment
The leader of the family to always have focus
Always have a plan that is something I should grow with
And now that he's gone it's a wrap and I'm hopeless
But bygones are bygones
We still got a legacy that I should carry on
Carry on the mission, carry on tradition
Young black and gifted and hopefully forgiveness

Father, I'm a sloth
I'm slowing my own calling
This is not what you told me
Father, I'm a sloth
I'm slowing my own calling
This is not what you told me
