Father Lyrics

(I gotta be honest man)

(I ain't been myself lately)

(Stuck in my head 24-7)

(Wondering)

(What my purpose in life is)

(Countless thoughts of dreams and visions)

(Accomplishments)

(Yet, I'm here)

(Still here)

(And I guess)

(I guess I'm not enough)

What are you doing son?

Get up and move

You cannot run forever

Why are you holding on?

Hurry and choose

We gotta work together

You know I love you son

Get off the booze

You're gonna hurt your mother

You gotta carry on

Leave me to rest

I ain't gonna live forever

I apologize

To my father above who don't see what I'm like

In this life where I'm high

I apologize

To my father in step

Who don't know what I'm like

When I'm cold to his cries

I don't recognize

All the lies that I tell to myself

When I fight in this hell, in this cell

Lost ever since, now I drown in the voices of others

Worried if my thoughts will repel

Why don't you hold my hand?

Why don't you hold my hand?

You know I understand

You gotta be a man

You gotta be a man

Why don't you hold my hand?

Why don't you hold my hand?

You know I understand

You gotta be a man

You gotta be a man

I have been watching how you handle obstacles

I have been watching how you had advanced

I have been watching how you pray for miracles

When you gon' realize it's in your hand?

I know I cannot be there when you need me

But you gon' have to pick up the bag

I know it's hard when I'm not around

But you're gonna have to stick to this path

Dig a little deeper

You ain't gon' fail

Dig a little deeper

You is a male

Dig a little deeper

Cut through the veil

Dig a little deeper

Dig a little deeper

I'll be your teacher giving advice

I'll be your friend to keep for life

I'll be your coach to get through the fight

You know I miss ya

What are you doing, son?

Get up and move

You cannot run forever

Why are you holding on?

Hurry and choose

We gotta work together

You know I love you son

Get off the booze

You're gonna hurt your mother

You gotta carry on

Leave me to rest

I ain't gon' live forever

How could you leave me?

How could you put me inside of this hole

Look what you made me

All of your promises I had to learn on my own

See how I'm lazy?

I've been under so much stress

Do you see how I'm a mess

If only you had been alive

I wouldn't have spent all this time

Holding this grief in my chest

All I wanted was some normality, though

All I wanted was a family, though

Now the relatives, they pity me, yo

I can't help but feel unwanted and broke

Oh, I get it now I'm 20 years old

Oh, I get it when you say to have hope

Life is a bitch, but it'll give you a hidden blessing on the low

Now I'm obsessed with chasing the dough

Only the money won't heal you fosho

I know but maybe it'll make me feel whole

I can assure you it definitely won't

What do you mean? Then how do I cope?

Can you not see? The damage is old

But I still bleed, it's all that I've known

Gotta be free of what you still hold

There's a will, there's a way

Ain't no pain, ain't no gain

Necessary how we take

There's a will, there's a way

Ain't no pain, ain't no gain

Even weakness is brave

Say your grace, heal your pain
