Lyrics

Momma told me don’t let your son down way your daddy ain’t let you smile
Don’t let your son frown
way your daddy made you regret
Don’t let your son set
Keep the light on him
Don’t let the shadows take over
Next thing you know he’s 19 and barely sober
Let that boy dream
Listen when he whisper
Don’t let that boy scream
Time is really all you can give
Don’t make that shit seem
Like all of your problems are really his
That pressure runs deep
If he ever feel like he don’t fit in
Tell him he’s in your genes
Never make him question your love
That’s a price to pay
Don’t ever let me hear you give up
Or ain’t got shit to say
You better love that boy right out loud
Don’t be no bitch
If he’s yours
Don’t you dare quit
Don’t let your son down
And when life is a bitch
You better handle your shit
You can cry you can scream
But you remind him a king
Is more than your self esteem
A leader’s more than he seems
A husband’s more than his ring
You ain’t a father cos you laid some dick
You a father cos you love your kids
Don’t let your son down
Are your broken pieces shards under my feet?
Do your hopes and wishes haunt when you sleep?
I’m just here to make it
Easier for you
Easier
Easier
Don’t let your son down
Words that I remember on a daily
Afraid I’ll make the same mistakes my father did
Afraid I won’t make good on a single of my promises
Afraid I’ll be too deep and realise that I never wanted this
And hearing “that’s my daddy” makes me feel like I’m a fraud and shit
Strong is what a father is
What if I’m too weak
What I’m too meek
My momma told me pray for all the courage that you seek
But what if courage makes me blind and I can’t find my feet
And let my son down
And leave my prince without a king to teach him how to wear his own crown
Hold his own down
That when life is a bitch
And he can’t handle his shit
He can cry he can scream
And I remind him a king
Is more than riches and bling
A leader don’t make the team
A husband’s more than a fling
I love him more than he dreams and I won’t ever let my son down
Are your broken pieces shards under my feet?
Do your hopes and wishes haunt when you sleep?
I’m just here to make it
Easier for you
Easier
Easier
