Dear Family Lyrics

Yo, I'm writing you this letter babe

I hope it finds you well, I know I put you through hell, my actions cast a spell

The nights I was hustling, selling dope on the streets, I let you down hard, now I'm drowning in these beats

Took the wrong path, yeah, I paid my dues

Jail cell confessions, it's your love that I choose

Look at the damage, yeah, I see you frown Every scar I bear was just to bring you down

Forgive me, please, for the pain that I caused

If I, if I died in your arms tonight,

Would you forgive me for everything that I did

I wish I could erase it all away

Oh, I, if I die in my sleep tonight, will you remember the good that I did

Are you thankful that I changed

Thankful that I changed

Now to my four kids, sorry I was lost,

You guys were always worth my time,

But when your brother died, man, it messed up my mind

The drugs took me under, made me weak

and I was blind

Missed birthdays, graduations, missed all the fun times

Trying to stay numb was real dumb, I lost too much time

I was a bad role model on my way to hell, regretting the time my thirteen year old daughter drove home when I went to jail

You deserve a father who's present, and that really is the plan

Jesus took my broken pieces and He made a new man

Now I stand redeemed, thanks to the Lord's grace. Jesus took me from the gutter, put me back in my place I'm so thankful for my wife and my kids, man, I swear you're my life

Now I'm mostly thankful that I'm not afraid to die tonight, if I,

If I, if I died in your arms tonight, would you forgive me for everything that I did

I wish I could erase it all away, oh I,

If I die in my sleep tonight, will you remember the good that I did

Are you thankful that I changed

Thankful that I changed

If I, if I died in your arms tonight, would you forgive me for everything that I did

I wish I could erase it all away, oh I,

If I die in my sleep tonight, will you remember the good that I did

Are you thankful that I changed

Thankful that I changed
