Know Me Better Lyrics

Son

If you could only know me better

Made mistakes when I was young before our ties were severed

Me and your mother

Were really close really close

Don't know if she told you but I know she remember

Why you think sports and writing come natural to you

Used to write poetry it passed down to you

I listen to your songs and I'm living through you

Don't let the world do a number on you

Like it did to me

In so many ways

I was young I was young

There are many ways

It could have turned out differently

But we're living this way

That's the thing about life sometimes no second chances

Come your way and you gotta keep on advancing

Innocent when I was young but it's an evil world

I can't lie when I say it was devil dancing

But some things turn out alright

Spoke with granny

She said you're alright

I understand your frustration and why you might

Feel abandoned and act as if you might

Need to stand alone and be a man out of spite

What you don't know is we kinda had a similar life

You got my temper too I know you feel some nights

Like you can take the world 1-on-1 in a fight

Wish you could know me better

Now it's your choice

In this life family is all we really need

Get to know your brother and sister

Do it for me

Might connect well and find commonalities

Between each other

You never know

The first born

That should stick with you

Set a good example so it sticks with you

May not believe it

But I still miss you

On those days I didn't show up and I missed you

Hope we can talk so you

See my point of view

Pictures of us I still got a few

Family history that I can give to you

Don't expect you to listen to what I'm telling you

Just know you're a part of me and I claim you

Just hard to express I know you feel what I do

Wish you could know me better

Now it's up to you
