Dear Dad Lyrics

Times really changed and the clock is always running

I'm tryna be the best man I'm tryna be something

Grew up on food stamps man we came from nothing

I gotta have faith cause I know my time is coming

Times really changed and the clock is always running

I'm tryna be the best man I'm tryna be something

Grew up on food stamps man we came from nothing

I gotta have faith cause I know my time is coming

I got too much pride I had to do it on my own

Crying in the darkroom man I felt alone

Praying on my knees man I had to change my tone

I need to have a talk dad I hope you call my phone

I’m not a little boy dad you know I’m a man now

But I still feel like a kid with his hand out

I wanna spend some time man lets make a couple plans now

Wanted you as a boy but I need you as a man now

Times really changed and the clock is always running

I'm tryna the best man I'm tryna be something

Grew up on food stamps man we came from nothing

I gotta have faith cause I know my time is coming

Times really changed and the clock is always running

I'm tryna be the best man I'm tryna be something

Grew up on food stamps man we came from nothing

I gotta have faith cause I know my time is coming

I really can't blame you dad for the shit you did

I never understood I was just a little kid

Just tryna see the world for what it really is

It was what was and it is what it is

I can't hold this grudge cause it's tearing me apart

You and mom went ya separate ways then you grew apart

I always had clothes on my back you always did your part

Just wanted your protection when they was shooting at the park

I wanted all the lessons, the birds and the bees

How to go to college, how to get a degree

How to change oil, how to change a tire

How to tie a tie so I could fix my attire

Its all good dad man I swear you forgiving

I learned a lot from you while I watching from a distance

It takes a real man to raise another nigga children

Let's take a vacation dad and really start living

Times really changed and the clock is always running

I'm tryna be the best man I'm tryna be something

Grew up on food stamps man we came from nothing

I gotta have faith cause I know my time is coming

Times really changed and the clock is always running

I'm tryna be the best man I'm tryna be something

Grew up on food stamps man we came from nothing

I gotta have faith cause I know my time is coming
