Letter To My Dad

That's a produce, diamonds to boost

Don't wanna let you down
I know your momma always held it down
I made mistakes but I'm changing now
I'm ready for it all, you know I got you now, got you now (yeah, yeah)

Don't wanna let you down (don't wanna let you down)
I know your momma always held it down (I know she had it)
I made mistakes but I'm changing now
I'm ready for it all, you know I got you now, got you now (yeah, yeah)

Just a young man, only 17
Alone in this world, had big dreams
No guidance, had to learn on his own
Broken inside but he still stays strong

He had parents
But his dad was way too busy chasing women, disappearing
And his mom would take out all that aggression on her children
Running from cops when he was just a kid
She couldn't stand his face that's why she kicked him out the crib
Hard times

At the mall, then he met a girl, then they made a plan
Try to change the world
16, she was all alone and she fell in love with him
They had a kid and he ain't called
Was playing games, he made her fall
Never met his kid 'til 23, had to accept apologies
Now I got that part of me I was missing, yeah

Don't wanna let you down
I know your momma always held it down
I made mistakes but I'm changing now
I'm ready for it all, you know I got you now, got you now (yeah, yeah)

Don't wanna let you down (don't wanna let you down)
I know your momma always held it down (I know she had it)
I made mistakes but I'm changing now
I'm ready for it all, you know I got you now, got you now (yeah, yeah)

If you grew up with no dad and he comes back in your life
Just have patience (just have patience)
If you find it in your heart to give a second chance
Congratulations (congratulations)

Look, sometimes you gotta give second chances
Conversations, you can heal the damage
I'm not saying that like it ain't happened but we own our mistakes
It's 'bout how you manage (true)

This life too short
It's never too late to make memories
Pops like a bro now he like a best friend to me
Had to forgive, I don't wanna be enemies (enemies)

Can't forget the day that we met
Heartbeat racing out my chest
Found out that I had an older brother
Found out that I got two sisters too
Took a trip to Barbados
Found out I was Beijing
Met my family in London and I ain't never been the same since

Don't wanna let you down (don't wanna let you down)
I know your momma always held it down (I know she had it)
I made mistakes but I'm changing now
I'm ready for it all, you know I got you now, got you now (yeah, yeah)

Don't wanna let you down (don't wanna let you down)
I know your momma always held it down (I know she had it)
I made mistakes but I'm changing now
I'm ready for it all, you know I got you now, got you now (oh, oh)
