Hey, Dad

hey dad, I really just dont know what to say dad I really wanna stay. in. this. place. but now it's a race. and I cant. keep a straight lap broke down right out front your place~ when I saw your face. and I knew what to say dad no~ I'm not better than you. or stronger than you. cause deep in my heart. I know~that your great dad but now~I'm. tryna. chase ~the-man-I-was~anyway. and now you gotta face that I'm sorry that we've let-ourselves-grow-apart but-I-cant slow my pace dad drew a perfect picture. the page tore apart. for now. we gonna have to trace that you broke your back for me. and-I-cant help-but-see the. light when it shines flat let's go~climb a tree or go~to~the~lake and see if we can catch-a-fat-bass or we could go~out~to~lunch and have some fun like we used to way back But I really think the best thing for both of us right now is to simply back track let me play this track to prove my point cause your son. can't. fake. raps~ back track and face the fact that life is jacked so we must recreate that matter fact I miss those days we would go and play in the grass with a ball cap no cap I miss you so. damn. much. but now I must accept that Eagles. gotta-fly and sometimes~I wish we were able to fly~ down the same path at times~ I wanna help you fly. but you make me cry. and I can't let you cut my wings so heres. a. song. you-can-try-to-sing-along but time wont stop. for a man. even-if-he-got-a fat stack you know money. ain't. the. only. thing. that matters. in this life. I hope this feels~as real to you~as it feels to me to-night Gotta rhyme what's true. and~pick~and~choose. I dont want to sound trife truth is I want to erase this thing that cuts us like a knife but the blade went dull some years ago so for now i sit in spite~of all the times that we have shared and got through on our plight from a broken home and a broken wife to a broken man with a son who fights with him cant-forget those times spent downing~beers with you~and~with~my~friends by friends I mean our girl zoe and your~3rd~son my brother. ben shit is really sad, dad. and I know you feel the same I would talk to you inside you're home but who are you to blame. you cant hate for-the-pride you~gave~to~me. I'm tryna make a name. ~ for myself so that if someone else wants to. put. me. to. shame. ~I-can-shut-them-down with word~of~mouth and crash that derailed train And fly-above-them like~an~eagle climbing high. on. my. soul. plane
