Father's Day ft. Empty Sentiment Lyrics

Ayo my pops taught me everything. Did all that he could and I'm much obliged

I'm looking up, he's looking down, we both watching the sun rise

Taught me how to scrap, then put me on rap, and put me on game

Don't chase women or the fame. See them books? Go use your brain

Taught my jumpshot... "however you move, Boo get your money"

How to stand like a man, thru the rain, it ain't always sunny

Down in Philly every summer, preparing for vacation

Working all year, for 2 weeks off, this man's patient

When you young, you never get why your parents go photograph

Every single moment, knowing you loan it, until they pass

Think I understand. You know a picture says a thousand words

And you gone hear every single one once the worst occurs

I'm speechless, try to move on but I'm losing hope

Weeks pass, see the calendar; God must be playing jokes

Oh for heaven's sake! They tryna have me in the worst way

Pops passed, then Father's Day, they put it on my birthday?

I'm locked in. Head still twisted, oh I been dreading

First text I would've got, the only one I'm never getting again

No pretend I lost a friend in the end

2 hours after we talked, I'd never hear him again

The day that grandpops died, first time, I saw my pops cry

Told me, one day I'd be stronger, I guess my pops lied

Or maybe I just hold in so much sadness, when I let it out

It overflows, I overdose, on shit I can't forget about

The elephant, in the room, is louder than ever

Son, mind clouded, simply whether the weather

Oh that's clever! The dates, lined up, so he could reach me

The only lessons, in life he knew that he couldn't teach me

Another trip, around the sun the son'll take his place.

Can't hold my hand, to promise lands, I see I must embrace

But cant replace, the energy, he taught me everything

It hurts, but its the only way a prince becomes a king

Ayo I wrote this joint on Father's Day
