Hey dad been a minute since I've heard from you

Haven't got not one single word from you

You know man to man so we can touch base

The feeling I have for you right now is love hate

Even though I love you I hate what you've become

You live your life and forget about your son

You weren't always like this cause back when I was young

In my eyes to me you always were the one

I would give it up to the one I looked up to

Cause growing up I knew you had it rough to

Dirt poor in a household of at least a dozen

Your father walked out left you basically with nothing

That must have been hard that must of left a scar

Damn that's a burden that you carry on your shoulders

Now I understand why you crossed the border once I got older

To run away from a life of pain

But since then your whole life has changed

Cause my mom made your life beyond your wildest dreams

She made you a man by letting go of childish things

Behind every great man is a great woman

But you ruined that cause you love to chase women

I know it's not my business but dad I got to witness

All my mother's pain hoping one day you would change

But you didn't cause today you still remain the same

This ain't to disrespect you it's only to correct you

Been bottling this up had to get it off my chest to

No matter what dad I'll never say fuck you

Cause no matter what dad I'll always love you but

Why? Can't you be sincere?

Dad why can't be sincere tell me

Why? Do you feed my fears?

And why you got to fees my fears tell me

Why? Do you take me for granted?

Dad why you got to take me for granted tell me

Why? Is your heart so slanted?

Why's it so slanted dad it's so slanted

My worst fear is that I grow up to be like you

It hurts me when they tell I look like you

The image getting clearer when I look inside the mirror

But every time I always start to tear up

Cause it makes me wonder on where my dad went

Like what happened? We use to always laugh and

Have the best times man I miss it with a passion

I'm asking God why you got to be selfish?

You never help every time I feel helpless

Your not around cause your nowhere to be found

Never thought you do the same thing that your old man would do

But you abandoned us like he abandoned you

I know it's not something that you planned to do

But I'm having trouble on trying to understand it to

Cause you left when we needed you the most

When my mother passed we were grieving there alone

I know your always working on the weekdays

And on the weekends your heading out to TJ

Thinking to myself damn what a father

With a girl that's almost the same age as your daughter

You call it love but me man it's lust

I'll be the first to say it and make a stand for us

It took me these last few years being fatherless

To know how important that a father is

This ain't to disrespect you it's only to correct you

Been bottling this up had to get It off my chest to

No matter what dad I'll never say fuck you

Cause no matter what dad I'll love you but

Why? Can't you be sincere?

Dad why can't be sincere tell me

Why? Do you feed my fears?

And why you got to fees my fears tell me

Why? Do you take me for granted?

Dad why you got to take me for granted tell me

Why? Is your heart so slanted?

Why's it so slanted dad it's so slanted
