(E.i. talking)
-Verse 1-
“On the day of y'all birth in prison so I missed that
Them first steps and first words still in prison so I missed that
Man I'm so ashamed of everything
Cuz I been missing yalls everything
I know you prolly wake up mad at me cuz I'm not there
You feel like I abandoned you cuz I'm not standing near (yea)
cnd I'm sorry for it all I know I broke your heart
Should of been there from the start yea
I know the feeling cuz my father did the same to me
He chose to work I chose the street cycle stuck on repeat
cnd y'all deserve the world the greatest gift that I dun seen
I'm begging for forgiveness hope I get it praying on my knees
Hate I had to leave you wish it couldn't be true
I was stuck in evil forsaken my people
Hope I get a sequel another chance to lead you
c fathers love will bleed through I pray you feel the same too
I know it's gunna be a challenge but it's worth the fight
You know it's really serious when you can't get sleep at night
Impossible to change the past take wrongs and make em right
But I will strive to be a father involved in ya'll life (yea)”
-Hook-
“I'm sorry that it had to be like this
I wish it didn't have to be like this
I know that all of this has hurt you, how can I desert you didn't deserve
I'm ashamed, I'm so ashamed, I pray things change
I'm not a saint, I'm just a man, it's just a shame (yea)
I know I should have been there for you
Now I will fight to be there for you”
-Verse 2-
“I completely understand if you choose to resent me
I battle to forgive my father till this day I'm guilty
But I hope you learn to let it go
Cuz both of you I really want to know
It's difficult to try to love you cuz your self protected
Striving to build relationships with yall and get connected
Yall hear negative things from family then share their perspective
That's only one side of the story that they be projecting
But still I acknowledge take ownership of all my wrongs
cnd I know that your pain won't go away just cuz this song
I'm sure you'll probably even question if I'll be here long
But I will fight to give my all for you and love you strong”
-Hook-
“I'm sorry that it had to be like this
I wish it didn't have to be like this
I know that all of this has hurt you, how can I desert you didn't deserve
I'm ashamed, I'm so ashamed, I pray things change
I'm not a saint, I'm just a man, it's just a shame (yea)
I know I should have been there for you
Now I will fight to be there for you”
-Verse 3-
“I was given twins blessed by God but stuck in sin
Little boy and girl growing up I'm in the pin
I know that all of this has hurt you how could I desert you you didn't deserve
You don't deserve the pain I left you that just wasn't right
cnd I know that you'll have these scars for the rest of your life
I can't excuse my absence should have been but not in sight
But now I'll fight to be there 1,000% for life”
