Show Me That You Love (feat. Jill Scott & Samora Pinderhughes)

Imbedded in emotion, I'm open, hoping whoever's calling's all in

For the low-key it was O-M-O-Y-E

I read my daughter's name slowly

I'm asleep, sleeping with the TV on, two in the morn'

'Who the hell is this?' on some Biggie 'Warn"

Something's wrong, what's going on?

You should be under covers, warm

Is there a thunder storm? Someone done you wrong?

Words stumbled on, she mumbled on, something's on

Oh shit, she lit, a habit she got, legit

We talked a bit, truthfully I was tired

Youthfully, she was high with her friends

I said bye quick, the phone collided with my sleep again

Three minutes later, but there's another layer

She said I didn't care, she said I wasn't there when she was younger

Summer tour busses wasn't enough to show what love is

She said I did things that a dad doesn't

And that she had questions, if I'm a good father, why all the bad judgement?

I'm looking past judgement, about to ask something

But she was bag busting, inside I'm mad, cussing

Inside I'm sad, dusting off my pride

I thought that I did protect and provide, and I'm a father that's live

What about the rides with you in the backseat? You tellin' me if it's a wack beat

I came to a few track meets

Weekend movies, I got you tickets to Lil Uzi

Truly I try

She said "It's the things that you didn't do, not what you did"

It hurt her spirit when she saw me with another woman's kid

Peeled back and thought, to love her I gotta listen

Now love and action is the new vision

She said "Dad, let your actions be your loudest speaker"

And now my daughter is now my teacher

With love

Show me that you're there, show me that you care

I've been looking for you, but you don't want to share

I've been looking for you, even over there

Will you stay around this time, or should I be prepared?

Show me that you're there, show me how you care

You like to come around here (You know actions speak louder than words, right?)

Show me that you love, show me that you care

This space is feeling empty, but you don't see me there

You won't feel the pain, and you won't take the blame

How you come around here and you just stay the same

Show me that you love, show me that you care

When is the time for you to pull a chair and tell me who you are

And tell me you'll be there, and show up when it's hard

And show me you care

Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me

Show me, show me, show me, show me
