Where were you
Look all I'm tryna do is heal
So imma tell you how I feel
Now I'm being as honest as I can be
When I say I wake up every morning wishing I was anybody except me
I mean my life's a tragedy
It's seriously just so sad to see
How my dads back in prison even tho he promised me
But hell I knew you was a liar
I seriously should've thrown all your dope into a fire
And yeah you would have started to erupt
But maybe you would finally wake up
and see you're causing your family so much pain and agony
Especially knowing that when I have kids they might not get to see their grandfather
But why do I even bother
It's not like you're ever gonna listen to me
And I don't need a psychic to see
That you ain't gonna change till it's too late and everything you envisioned gets out of sight
But that'll be when we start coming up to the end of your flight
Wishing you had more time
To ask for a sign
Even tho they were right in front of you
And at the time they was ages 13,12, and 2
And I still don't think you realize what you're beginning to lose
Because the signs should've woke you up like 3 alarm clocks ringing but you chose to ignore them and continue to snooze
Like what the heck dad we needed you
Where were you when I needed to learn to be brave?
Where were you when I needed to learn to shave?
Where were you when times were the hardest?
Where were you when my tunnel was the darkest?
Oh I know where u were out selling dope
While I was trying to figure out what it means to be a man
And face all my problems head on
But instead all I ever did was ran
Because I never had proper guidance from a dad
Which I think is sad
Because i don't know how to let people know how I'm feeling so I just write it down in these songs
Only writing to myself which I think is wrong
Because I should really be letting people know how I feel but I just can't
But it's whatever I think this is the end of my rant
Anyways thanks for everything you didn't do for me dad
Thanks for making my life so bad
Because now I know how not to be you
And start off new
And improved
