Father - Kero One/Suhn[00:00:00]
Father would you be there for me [00:00:01]
Father I know you'll be there for me [00:00:12]
You brought her into this world as a labor pain[00:00:21]
Her father wanted to leave put her on layaway[00:00:24]
Just a little mistake from his player days[00:00:27]
But her mom wanted to keep her and see her babies face [00:00:29]
Throughout her life her dad would come and go[00:00:33]
Get locked up in jail then get out off on bail[00:00:35]
Back to sniffing coke skiing those bunny slopes[00:00:38]
But the fresh white snow would always leave a trail[00:00:40]
And his girl grew up before he knew it[00:00:43]
Trying be a human but he kind of blew it[00:00:45]
Too late to fake his role today[00:00:48]
She grew to hate her dad touché[00:00:50]
And now she's having a child her own[00:00:53]
With a man manned with qualities she's never known[00:00:55]
All grown she's having a child her own[00:00:58]
With a man that'll show her what fathers are for[00:01:01]
Father would you be there for me [00:01:05]
Father I know you'll be there for me [00:01:16]
And then you brought their child to this world through c section[00:01:25]
Not the original plan so she's stressing[00:01:28]
Her man squeezed her hand to be present[00:01:31]
Reminding her she's not alone in this second[00:01:33]
A beautiful boy of course he is[00:01:36]
There's no way they could fathom him in an orphanage[00:01:39]
So he grew up loved cared and[00:01:41]
His parents fought in the basement to spare him[00:01:44]
Highly respectable shouting was a rare thing[00:01:47]
Speaking the human way like how are you today [00:01:49]
Around the dinner table they could communicate[00:01:52]
Far from a television to stare in[00:01:55]
But years pass the dinner table has lost its polish[00:01:57]
Fathers hairs turned grey while son was off in college[00:02:00]
Talking decreased he wasn't often calling[00:02:03]
His son became a man of his own yo[00:02:05]
His father deceased now he's commanding the throne[00:02:08]
Tears trickled slow embraced the cheeks of his bone[00:02:10]
Showered with guilt he spent weeks all alone[00:02:13]
Wishing father was here to witness his poem it goes[00:02:16]
Father would you be there for me [00:02:20]
Father I know you'll be there for me [00:02:31]
You brought me into this world as a labor pain[00:02:40]
Neighbors came with gifts in this babies name[00:02:43]
Moms carried the burden for 9 months[00:02:45]
And when I'd kick and punch you couldn't take her pain away[00:02:48]
Hopes and dreams for your child its the strangest day[00:02:51]
Though you hoped for the best you'd let me stray away[00:02:53]
With the choice to choose you let me view[00:02:56]
The world through a wide angle lens I think it's safe to say[00:02:58]
The love of a father who cared deeply[00:03:02]
Who knew justice would come when thieves beat me[00:03:04]
Who felt the pain of my woes but let me fall so I'd grow[00:03:07]
Keeping me on my toes just to teach me[00:03:09]
And all along u knew med school wouldn't work for me[00:03:12]
Knowing I'd burn emcees with more degrees than PhD[00:03:15]
You knew those school kids would be a jerk to me[00:03:17]
But it made me strong did you use sin purposely [00:03:20]
And I confess to some degree my uncertainty[00:03:23]
I know there's nothing worse than one's unbelief[00:03:25]
But when I fell you're hands was always under me[00:03:28]
When I acted invincible you always did humble me[00:03:30]
You're all knowing just and perfect[00:03:33]
I wish it could be simple so we'd see below the surface[00:03:36]
Giving us meaning direction and purpose[00:03:39]
The only father since birth heaven and earth[00:03:41]
Father would you be there for me [00:03:45]
Father I know you'll be there for me[00:03:56]
