My First Hero

This not only serves as an apology
It's an opportunity to address you with honesty
Ashamed of my behavior the last time
Said things that I shouldn't, I went pass lines
That I never meant to cross and that I truly hate
So now I'm speaking deep from my heart to communicate
Growing up I misunderstood your absence
I took it as coldness
But now that I'm grown it's
Become apparent that to be a parent
You had to sacrifice a lot
Your ambition it was so inherent
You had to dedicate yourself to work and careers
Mistakenly I felt abandoned, it hurt me for years
I now know you loved me
Even when being distant
I know for us to get close we'll have to be persistent
We gotta break them old routines
To build an even stronger bond
It be a whole new dream

Most times I know we never said much
To each other but I hope this helps us
Understand the love that held us
Together for so long it's so strong
Most times I know we never said much
To each other but I hope this helps us
Understand the love that held us
Together for so long it's so strong

You always tried to push me
To be the best
Hard on me
Used to wish you'd give me a rest
You said that this rap stuff would go nowhere
You never understood the love I had for flowing here
You told me follow a better path
That music wouldn't add up
I need to make better math
But since I graduated
A new appreciation for everything you said it was activated
I'm still rapping away from it you'll never turn me
But now I have a better understanding of your journey
You taught me so much with very little words
Having a son making you proud you always did deserve
Taught me to work hard and persevere
Now to carry on your legacy I'm a worthy heir
But through it all I'm proud to call you my pops
The main teacher of the knowledge that I got

Most times I know we never said much
To each other but I hope this helps us
Understand the love that held us
Together for so long it's so strong
Most times I know we never said much
To each other but I hope this helps us
Understand the love that held us
Together for so long it's so strong
