Lyrics

I'm writing this letter to tell you I miss ya The kids doing better, we hold it together Saw Joe yesterday And he told me to tell ya to stay strong my bro He said "Don't let them stress ya" Alicia starts school in a couple of weeks And she's so dammn excited She's counting the sleeps And I'll send you some pics And I knew you to phone I'm so sorry my baby it's taken so long I'll come to visit you soon, soon It's 'cause you know, I always got the kids in the afternoon The moneys been low so we're doin' whatever The car had to go got two jobs in the summer And while I remember you know I go Stacey She found out she pregnant with twins they been crazy And Ken hes still mad but you know how he is They come round invention they don't take the person No right or wrong way to feeling like this Everyone's still just adjusting I guess I'll come to visit you soon, soon It's 'cause you know, I always got the kids in the afternoon And sometimes I daydream that I'm at home cooking You come through the door and say "Hey babe good looking" I miss how you touch me, I miss how you love me I love how they rob me and hate how the rob me See Jake started speaking, his first word was truck They say what a surprise just like Father like Son Some days with the kids I get so f*cking angry It's breaking my heart when they asking "Where's daddy?" I'll come to visit you soon, soon It's 'cause you know, I always got the kids in the afternoon Never know which way life will come at you Never know, this life come at you fast so buckle up don't crash Plastic bags, pack them after class Just thinking back to the past Emotionally rich, physically broke Negative seas get plain and spirits can't grow Kiss ya and know about our altercations Keep it verbal, told you I heard you Being nosey, how you caught up in issues that don't concern you I wish, I wish that time could speed up See if you're worth the time Pretend to be fake enemies I've seen before familiar kind Yeah I got your letter I ain't have the time to read a million lines It's from the heart I understand But you're clever within your mind Ritious I could never shake Options got a limit to them (...) From where the children have ruined I'm with the strip influence After school you get the kids Wasn't there when I did my bit That's why you won't get to live with a bad boy I did it big Paid the rent I kept it fresh The crib is plush I filled the fridge Now we owe some distance shit You aint heard on the wish to pay
