Father Figure

I don't know you know you'll probably be about as good as I was
That's kind of the way it works
You know and I was below average so you'll probably ultimately rank somewhere around
there you know so really you'll excel at a lot of things just not this

I don't want you out here shooting this ball around all day and night all right

We either build on our father's wins or pay for our father's sins
And honestly we do
a little bit of both for them
Hallowed legacies built on false foundations
You always run faster when it's ghosts that you're chasing
Paths forged and bridges built
Slammed doors raised voice the image is kilt
So crushingto watch a dream wilt
Sad to see a wound that can't be healed or a hole that can't be filled
Painful when layers being peeled so much can be revealed
Hope you see that man's just a man doing the best he can with what he had for you
I hope you know that his plan was just a plan and it's your life
Nobody else in the world can stand for you

Because of or in spite of right
Replace the should of with the might of right
You learned so much from him in this life you got so much from him in your life
Father figure you just want to do better
Get what you was lacking
Protect your child forever
Father figure you just want to do it different
Give your child every single thing that you was missing
It's an impossible mission one I gladly undertake
I apologize now for all my future mistakes
Know it's all love
You got a dream you got to protect it
People can't do something themselves they want to tell you you can't do it

If you want something go get it
