Potpourri Lyrics

I guess in the end I

Didn't let my dad down. I

Thought that I would, I'm

Tryna make my dad proud but

I don't know who I'm 'posed to be

I wish that I was bold as he

I guess in the end I

Didn't let my dad down. I

Thought that I would, I'm

Tryna make my dad proud but

I smell my fear, I know it reeks

I think that he got potpourri

I am just like him

They call me 2.0

But if Adam is Jim I didn't get his poise so

I'm no clone

I thought I'd be when I was grown

But when he was 23

He was working for the POTUS

He was saving all the soldiers

They sent him letters of thanks

I got a BA in theater but still can't quote Willy Shakes

And now I'm taking a gap year

I know it's probably a mistake

But I'm afraid to grow up

I call it folly, but it's fate

So I told my dad begrudgingly

Only 'cause my momma spilled the beans of what I'm gonna be

Doing, I expected him to talk to me like, Guess that we

Had this plan and now you sabotaging your destiny

Man, whatchu doing

But he pulled me closer

Somehow, though it was a phone call

Said, I love you as you are

You don't gotta be no more

And my favorite adventure has been watching you grow all these years

Grow with God, and grow with me, and on your own dawg

I guess in the end I

Didn't let my dad down I

Thought that I would, I'm

Tryna make my dad proud but

I don't know who I'm 'posed to be

I wish that I was bold as he

I guess in the end I

Didn't let my dad down I

Thought that I would, I'm

Tryna make my dad proud but

I smell my fear, I know it reeks

I think that he got potpourri
