Father of the Year

Four offspring I got to figure it out quick
Mama said don't even think about moving a brick
Even when times getting thick And We in the thick of it
No reason to rush to quit
We come out rich from it
I'm doing the best that I can for the position I'm taking
But I always have unrealistic expectations
It's all taking place right in between my ears
Daily going toe to toe with my biggest fears
See I don't count the beers
Not even the shots
Vision getting blurry
I think that's worth a shot
And the blunt is flaming hot
Process of numbing the brain
Blackout on the spot and tomorrow try again
Daddy trying to hide the pain tears dropping in the rain
I lost a guide on how to parent
While staying sane
Ignorance is bliss
I see it in their smiling faces
I'm glad their innocence shields the divide in the nation

I hold true to the love I got that's no lie
Do the best that I can cause there's really no tries
Only way I'll ever let it go is giving up my devotion
Got to match my words with actions and keep it all in motion

Money come and go while time slip away
Daddy out here hustling to busy to play
To busy to listen cause I'm on a mission
Cause I have a vision while you all are wishing
That we could go fishing
Maybe take a walk
Maybe have a talk
Keep up with the clock
Riding around listening to all your favorite songs
Take the time to explain what is right from wrong
And I wrote this song
As an apology
Sincerely starting now we a family
I'm a be there for you more than physically
We going to start creating priceless memories
If I was in your shoes I wouldn't understand either
Why can't Daddy be more than a sole provider
Take my hand ill help you walk across the street
Step by step we aint got a record to beat

I hold true to the love I got that's no lie
Do the best that I can cause there's really no tries
Only way I'll ever let it go is giving up my devotion
Got to match my words with actions and keep it all in motion
