Father's Eyes Interlude

I've made a lot of mistakes but
I've been learning every way that I can
I'm still working the man who I am
To provide for the fam
Was all I wanted
Always part of the plan
Without a father it was time to be a man
Had to grow up fast
A single mother seen her do it on her own
She was begging for her son to come home
But now I've grown
And I just wanna give you the best
That's why I tatted up your name on my chest

So to my unborn child
I can't wait to meet you son
Tryna manage what I can before the moments begun
Couple months you been growing man I'm proud of your mum
I swear we're lucky just to have her love
I'm tryna give you all I can like supposed to
And I think of all the things I wanna show you
You can hear these tracks
And pick a part the real to the facts
I wanna show you that we proud to be black
Cause as young black male
The world don't wanna see you prevail
The coppers wanna see you dead or in jail
Wont catch me out on bail
I'm out here tryna make these sales
The penitentiary ain't part of the tale
But you might grow up with some brothers that gone like crime
Yeah you gone lose a couple friends in your lifetime
Cause In these last few years
I've witnessed many mothers with tears
Too many times I've had to bury my peers
Don't want you living in fear
But I just wanna give you the tools
Cause there's some things I had to learn I wasn't getting from school

I was considered a fool
For things I had to teach myself
Before I knew a damn thing about no mental health
That's why I'm saying this
There's a lot I had to learn after the birth of your sis
I'm tryna give you the biz
A lot of lessons in the things that I did
I'm tryna show it in the way that I live
I'll treat your mother with utmost respect
And hope that reflects
On the women that you meet in your life you protect
And provide at your best
Take pride in your steps
I'll be right by your side every minute every breath
I swear
