Dear Dennis

Dear God
I know you got grandma and daddy right now
I just ask that y'all continue to bless me
Amen, uh-huh-uh-huh

Dear Dennis (dear Dennis)
It's your daughter (it's Shyniece)
Grandma just passed, and I'm not home, I'm out in Florida (I'm out at work)
I'm breakin' down, and I'm too far from Allen's daughter (damn)
Can't even fuckin' grieve, I'm travelin' across the border
Just breathe, I'm in pain right now
I can't show it while I'm fuckin' up the game right now (right now)
I know you up in vain right now (uh-huh)
But daddy, it'll make my day if you came back down

Just let me know if you ain't tryna be seen (where you at?)
It's been a minute since you visited my dreams (daddy, please)
Come on, daddy, you know how this shit could be
I ain't got no options, it's the closest way to hear you speak
Just left my lover, not interested for another (nah)
Tell God I said, "Thank you for my mother"
I was attached to your mother, God knows I really love her
He the reasons for my blessings of my come up

Can I ask you a question? I know your time is fatal
Is there a such thing as too loyal, too faithful?
I know you well-spoken from the woman that had raised you
When you finally get the answer, let me know, so I can thank you (don't take too long)

Dear Dennis (dear Dennis)

Can't even fuckin' grieve, I'm travelin' across the border (uh-huh-uh-huh)
Just breathe, I'm in pain right now
I can't show it while I'm fuckin' up the game right now (right now)
I know you up in vain right now
But daddy, it'll make my day if you came back down

Disrespect you once, but never on purpose (never on purpose)
If I hate to say that sometimes, you was a fucked up person (facts)
My moms told me 'bout the episodes and the DV's (uh-huh)
Then you turned and got the nerve to put your hands on me?
But it's cool, I ain't gon' trip (nah)
I know that you a addict, your emotions gon' flip (huh)
I'm targetin' my blessings, and I'm never gon' miss
I appreciate you for the ups and downs, that turned me to a honest bitch

Can I ask you a question? (I mean) I know your time is fatal
Is there a such thing as too loyal, too faithful?
I know you well-spoken from the woman that had raised you (yeah)
When you finally get the answer, let me know, so I can thank you (don't take too long)

But daddy, it'll make my day if you came back down (huh)
