Dear Lyric & Jade Lyrics

I promise this will be the realest thing I ever wrote

Truest words I ever spoke

They was sleeping on ya boy but I guarantee it

Now they woke

(Hey dad)

Hey mama

Wassup buddy

Your normal has been distorted and contorted

Wish I had a time machine

But I can't afford it

Son you're so handsome

Baby girl you're gorgeous

Leaving my heart on this track

You may wanna record this

Yeah

Going on 21

Selfishly having fun

Dealing with all the pressures that come with having a son

Shying away from a girl who I once thought was the one

Six months into pregnancy now we saying we done

Damn

But I can only blame me

Tryna sow my wild oats

Your mother couldn't tame me

Gotta save me from my myself

The way that I been moving

Can't be good for her health

Still learning what it takes to love

Supposed to be a family why we breaking up

Few pages short a book

I put hers on a shelf

Til this day

I bet it's probably what she thinking of

It's like I was on a mission

Most ppl in my position

Might've had some patience

Probably even gone the distance

Friends telling me it's more in the sea

Too busy going fishing

It's clear the problem was me

First time holding your hand

I saw the bigger picture

Something said I could've waited

Maybe I should've listened

But instead I dated

Looking for more

What I want

Whole time

Not even sure

In retrospect

I should've showed more respect

Only one trimester left

Now it's disagreements

Bout if you gone carry my name

I gotta carry the shame

Ask why your parents not together

I still carry the blame

You know, I wasn't the best boyfriend

But, promised myself I'd be a better dad

Despite all the adversity

I hope I'm making y'all proud

Yeah

Back to my old ways

Thinking back to the old days

Two-five with two kids

Should be stacking with cold plays

All it took was one night

Back to my old bae

Say "we need to talk"

Got another one on the way

This new reality kinda hurts

It's crazy how life works

"Atleast it's with the same person"

I viewed that as a perk

Everything I said I wouldn't be

I'm becoming

All the things your mom would do for me

I should be running

But in her direction

Now I face my reflection

Once was two love birds

Would've thought we were destined

But she's truly a blessing

Cuz she gave me you

What's better than one

Yeah, she gave me two

You and ya brother the best thing to ever happen to me

Some days I look into ya eyes

You don't seem happy to me

Well it's some things about the past

I thought you ought to know

Everything's not meant to last

Sometimes you gotta go

I know you always wondered why things are the way they are

Just know we trying our damnest to make sure y'all have the best life possible

Under the circumstances

That's one thing that'll remain consistent

Always

You guys will never truly know

How much you mean to me

How you plant a seed

Don't watch it grow

That's obscene to me

I'll never get it

(I love you daddy)

I love you too
