Father & Son Dialogue

Pops I ain't perfect but I'm standin' tall

Tryna chase dreams while dodgin' the fall

You raised me solid never showed no fear

But I grew in shadows alone with my tears

You taught me grind but not how to grieve

Told me stay sharp but I still bleed

I walk with pride but it's built from scars

And sometimes I wonder do you know who we are?

I needed hugs not just rules and lessons

Needed warmth with that cold aggression

You gave what you had I ain't blind to the truth

But I still hurt from what I missed in my youth

"Wi mwen wè..." • "Pa fasil..."

Son I hear you more than I let show

My love ain't loud but it always grow

I came from dirt raised by war and streets

Where men don't cry they just grind and eat

I ain't know how to love just how to survive

And I tried my best just to keep you alive

If I missed some steps it was never with hate

Just a man tryna carry the whole fam's weight

I see your pain I ain't proud of the cracks

But you still here never folded never cracked

You my legacy my blood my flame

And I'm proud even if I never said your name

"Kenbe tèt ou..." • "M'ap gade ou..."

I get it now still hurts but I get it

The silence the stares the pain you embedded

You ain't break me but damn I bent

All them nights I cried from the love unspent

I'm makin' moves now chasin' what's real

Still hear your voice when I grip that wheel

Still flinch when I see your old shoes

Still mad sometimes but I wear your truth

I'm my own man now but I carry you deep

Through the trauma the lessons the scars I keep

So if I love cold if I walk too static

Just know I learned it from a man...

Always Systematic

"Wi Papa..." • "Toujou djanm..."

I see the man now and damn I respect it

You turned that pain into power I never expected

You the evolution the next in line

The one who gon' break what I left behind
