Letter to my father🌚 (Verse 1) I knew you were a daddy, but I never called you mine You had a whole family, I couldn't cross that line I saw the way you moved, the way you played your game But I couldn't be the one to bring you all that shame I knew you had responsibilities, a life you had to lead I couldn't be the reason for your family to bleed I stayed in my lane, kept my distance, you see I knew I couldn't be the one to set you free (Verse 2) I saw the love you had, the way you cared for them But deep inside, I wished it was me, not them I knew I had to let you go, let you be a man Even though it hurt, I had to understand I saw the sacrifices you made, the choices you faced And though it hurt my heart, I had to embrace The fact that we were never meant to be I knew you were a daddy, and I had to set you free (Verse 3) I won't lie, it was hard to see you with her Knowing that it could've been me, it's a blur But I had to respect the choices that you made I couldn't be the one to bring you down in shame I knew you were a daddy, and I couldn't change that I had to accept it, move on, and never look back So here I am, saying goodbye to what could've been I knew you were a daddy, and I would never win (Verse 4) I'm moving forward, leaving all the pain behind I knew you were a daddy, but now it's out of my mind I'll find someone who can give me all their love Someone who's not tied down, someone I'm worthy of I knew you were a daddy, but I'll find my own way No longer waiting for you, no longer in dismay I'll keep my head up, and my heart will heal I knew you were a daddy, but I'll find something real Why did you throw the line? Because it was your daughter, and I stand behind you. If you want to love me, you will give me two love, but I don't need that true love anymore. I crossed the line. (Verse 1) Dear pops, hope you hearin' every word I'm sayin' Pen to paper, lettin' out the pain that I'm containin' Grew up without you, felt the void, it was drainin' But I'ma rise above it all, no time for complainin' Used to wonder why you left, why you never stayed But now I'm grown, got my own path that I paved I'ma make it big, no matter what the cost Prove to you and myself, that I ain't lost (Verse 2) You missed my graduations, my birthdays, and milestones But that don't define me, I'ma make my own throne I'ma stack that paper, make you proud from the grave Show you what I'm capable of, how I'm 'bout to be brave I forgive you, dad, for all the hurt you caused But know that I'm stronger now, I've grown and evolved I'ma make it to the top, watch me shine like a star This letter to my father, it's me healin' my scars (Verse 3) I hope you're listenin', hope you feelin' my pain Wish I could've known you, wish things weren't the same But life goes on, and I gotta keep pushin' Keep grindin', keep hustlin', and keep on movin' I'ma break the cycle, be a better man for my seed Never repeat your mistakes, fulfillin' their needs This letter to my father, it's closure for my soul I'ma rise above it all, and become whole (Verse 4) No more resentment, no more tears, no more sorrow I'ma focus on a brighter tomorrow I'ma be the man that you never had the chance to be This letter to my father, it's my legacy I'ma make you proud, even though you're not here Carry your name, hold it close, make it clear I'ma be the future, the one to break the chains This letter to my father, it's my strength, it's my pains
