Black Father
If there's one role that defines me
It embodies who I am naturally
Not what I'm trynna be
Just a black man with virtue
Don't be surprised at what I assert to
I protect everything under my purview
And that words true
You don't get the love you deserve,
You don't get the acknowledgment for your dominance
A black man being alive is an accomplishment
They asking where the black father went
To imply an incompetence
That I ain't got a lot in common with
I can say with confidence
My brothers maximize they situation
They might go through litigation
Pay they attorney fees and parent through stipulation
That baby momma drama
That mental manipulation
That shit be taking an emotional toll
Separation from you kids will burn a hole in your soul
Too focused to fold
What's the goal
Low and behold
It's crazy how the judge will give her total control
That's cold
Accounts froze pay your designated bill
But you made it
It's understated you elevated still
No matter the circumstance you over came it with grace
And they couldn't of done the same in your place
This dedicated to the black father
Black father
Sacrifice and pain
Come as an even exchange as a black father
Black father
Stay in my dedicated lane
Put some respect on my name
I'm a black father
I define my existence by future proofing my legacy
Look at you and see the best of me
I'll be your GPS
Your final destination is your destiny
I'll get you there
Even if I'm not physically with you there
And I ain't saying that to get you scared
But you should get prepared,
Cuz tomorrow isn't promised you should try and face it
And the time we enjoy wasting isn't time wasted
The moments we're together are invaluable
I go the extra mile to make you malleable
Already grew up different than I did
Cuz I was wilding for a time or so
A man but still a child I know I needed extra time to grow
I did that
Accepted my past and made it relatable
I'll always be available
My experience is translatable
Your kids looking at you like a super hero make you feel capable
You deserve it as a Black Father
Black father
Sacrifice and pain
Come as an even exchange as a black father
Black father
Stay in my dedicated lane
Put some respect on my name
I'm a black father
It embodies who I am naturally
Not what I'm trynna be
Just a black man with virtue
Don't be surprised at what I assert to
I protect everything under my purview
And that words true
You don't get the love you deserve,
You don't get the acknowledgment for your dominance
A black man being alive is an accomplishment
They asking where the black father went
