Father Lyrics

They say there's two sides to every story

But there's only one truth

I thank my Grandfather for being my Dad

Doesn't want the credit only God deserves the thanks

Seeing me smile n then seeing me sad

I thank my Grandfather for being my Dad

I'm a bastard, but I've got a real Dad

He's a master but he's never been a real Dad

My heart bleeds for what my soul needs for real Dad

Peeled scabs, broken bones, grazes on my kneecaps

Feedback feedback repeat that feedback

Cause I need that for real Dad

Where's what I need at

Haven't filled a year of my life doesn't that feel bad

Knowing that your Sons sad, how can you be glad

N you're a highly successful man, you should be proud

But Dad where you been at

N God made your Son and the stars, can't you see that

Peace to my step father

Who more than looked after

Who didn't have a father

Himself who bothered

Still harboured the fatherless regardless

Separated truth from the drama

Made sure we stayed secure

N no-one brought harm to us

Clothed us with armour

Filled us with laughter

We scrapped once

I'm sorry

A year gone

And now it's just honour

You're my role model

Guess him n my uncle both share that in common

All I wanna say, I just got to give thanks

On their wedding day they both made me best man

N they never scarpered

Was honestly honoured

You made the commitment but you never honoured it

This was a message for the Fatherless

Just a little message from the Fatherless

Time goes by n then you miss your Father less

It's not something that I've been told

I remember it from 3 years old

This was before you drove

I peered through the window

Whilst you walked down the Grove

But now I know that there more to the story

And in reality, you were still there for me

Somehow I had it in my head you didn't care for me

My thoughts underestimated all the things you taught me

All the things you bought me

All the times you warned me n I didn't heed advice

But you still bailed me out and paid the court fee

I'm sorry Dad, I didn't pay you back

Guess it's worth saying, if I'm stating facts

8 years ago I wrote the first verse of this track

But now I think about it, you don't owe me jack

Surely, the picture that I painted wasn't for you

Now I see you in your true glory

I'm sorry if by publicly displaying this, it's wrong

I just knew I had to put my truth in a song

Straight down the M1

From London to Brum

A 100 on the M Way to come and see your son

Always treating me, you treated me as number one

And every weekend we would have fun

If we got bored you'd run a next one

You took me abroad to go n see the sun

I convinced myself, that dem good times were gone

But I guess deep down I was spoilt

Cause it didn't workout, with my mom

I used to wish it would

Now I realise that you did what you should

I apologise, that I misunderstood

I fully recognise that you did what you could

I was young, I was dumb, head sick, mad, no good

Now when I think about us, I hope you know it's just love

Nothing but love

I love you Dad
