Father Wasnt There

My father wasn't there in my life
I was raised by (yeah, I hear you) a single mother in a humble home (I hear you)
I be having conversations (I hear you) with my dad on the phone (yeah)
God knows these trials and tribulations it's a challenge (it's a challenge, yeah)
It can't take away the affection in a balance
These kids they don't have no role model or no father figures (no father figures)

I never been influence to be in the gang or pull the trigger (I hear you)
I grow up with a silver spoon and action figure (yeah, uh-huh)
I wrote this song, so people can relate (yeah, uh-huh)
This is the real deal, this is not no debate (yeah, uh-huh, yeah)

Even though my father wasn't in my life
I have love for him, that is the way of Christ (yeah)
It's never too late to build a bond
It's not about the money or no trust funds (I hear you)
I gotta be a man of my own, so I can survive
I'm giving God all the praise, so I can rise

Father wasn't there
Wasn't there
Wasn't there
I love him in spite of
Love him in spite of
So I care
Father wasn't there

This is reality, this is not no FaceTime (yeah)
My soul is not in jeopardy (I hear you), these kids need God
And not no celebrity, I'm here to set an example (check it, check it, yeah)
I am a voice of this generation (check it, I hear you)

Souls need to be save not only with no congregation
This is not no generational trauma (I feel you)
We live in the world filled with hate and drama (I feel you, I feel you)
I don't believe in holding grudges 'cause I love my mom (I hear you)

I can feel these kids pain
They filled with sorrow and sadness
They need love in the life, let's end this madness (yeah)
I cried out with tears (yeah)
I'm letting things go 'cause I'm not living in fears (yeah, I hear you)

I'm proud of myself and my peers
We been going through with this for years (I hear you)
I never been in the jail cell (I feel you)
Its people sick in the hospital with sickle cell (I feel you)
I hope this message help somebody so it can prevail (I hear you)

Father wasn't there
Wasn't there
Wasn't there
I love him in spite of
Love him in spite of
So I care
Father wasn't there
