| Understood it back then but even more now
|
| It’s easier to feel it when it’s your child
|
| When forever is the only thing you want now
|
| Middle man with the baton, pass it on down
|
| Pass what he gave me to mine in due time
|
| From how to put a fist in the air to shooting five
|
| To how to not give in to fear when the blues arrive
|
| He said my only job was making sure you survive
|
| Duly noted, all the direction that you were throwing
|
| I might not have known where it led but I knew the motive
|
| So all the conversations that might’ve turned into more
|
| Was to keep me from writing from the other side of the wall
|
| My friends never had their pop so you became it
|
| Yours died when you were a child so you related
|
| Taught us that everything you are and what becomes of you
|
| Is usually everything that was be front of you
|
| Believe it
|
| Youngin' do believe it
|
| Super hero dad, capes on, you know how we get
|
| And this one is a song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| Like everyday is Father’s Day weekend
|
| Celebrate it, celebrate it, celebrate it
|
| Yeah, velebrate it, celebrate it
|
| The day that the baton came to me
|
| Heart started jumping when your mom came to me
|
| And said that you were cooking
|
| I was overlooking Brooklyn knowing we had to leave
|
| Cause I wanted you to see more when you repeat after me
|
| You were born I was torn, a feeling never before
|
| But I knew the world waiting for you is forever more
|
| Every cop that’s outta pocket with his rep in his in his hand
|
| And every word thrown at me to make me less of man
|
| Was all fully aligned here for you to take part in
|
| So put your whole chest in whatever you put your heart in
|
| I put it on the table there’s nothing that can surprise you
|
| Keep you the wiser before they try to Korey Wise you
|
| Miles the miracle, every part of your breath
|
| Doctors told me my only hope was IVF
|
| So know that everything that you are and what becomes of you
|
| Is usually everything that be in front of you
|
| Believe it
|
| Youngin' do believe it
|
| Super hero dad, capes on, you know how we get
|
| And this one is a song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| Like everyday is Father’s Day weekend
|
| Celebrate it, celebrate it, celebrate it
|
| Yeah, celebrate it, celebrate it
|
| If there was ever a man who was generous, gracious and good
|
| That was my dad, hollow tipped his way out the hood
|
| Shot through it and showed me how to hop to it
|
| Like never let nobody ever say what you’re not doing, unless it’s me
|
| Same rule apply to the one that I made
|
| Only one I’ll give it to if he wanted my lane, all yours, nothing that I won’t
|
| provide
|
| From the first time that you saw the world and you opened mine
|
| My pop made sure that I was all the way fine
|
| Even when him and my mom were saying all their goodbyes
|
| So shout out to my mother and all the mothers for their comforting
|
| The best ones got a father that’s in love with them, right
|
| So this is for the father’s support
|
| The ones that you couldn’t pay enough to walk out the door
|
| And the ones who know that everything you are and what becomes of you
|
| Is usually everything that be in front of you
|
| Believe it
|
| Youngin' do believe it
|
| Super hero dad, capes on, you know how we get
|
| And this one is a song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| A song for my father, let the radio repeat it
|
| Like everyday is Father’s Day weekend
|
| Celebrate it, celebrate it, celebrate it
|
| Yeah, celebrate it, celebrate it |
