letter to dad

A lot of things I really took for granted
Didn't appreciate it till I didn't have
Pops asking me for coffee and I wouldn't have it
Now a daily conversation I just wish I had it
All those days I was gone
I could've been home
Never realized one day he woulda been gone
And now I'm crying tears of guilt because I wasn't home
Momma told me say goodnight to daddy on the phone
How foolish of me
Livin for the moment
And these moments
We're the ruler of me
Now it's just a hug that I need
Just a word of advice
What a sight to see
But it's all said and done
And the time went and gone
Now it's just memories that I write in a song
Wish I can talk to him
I would say I was wrong
If I could have another chance I woulda just went hom

I can see
But it's gone now
I found a light
But it's dark now
I learned a lesson
But schools out
This pain I use for fuel now

Nine years
And I still tear
Nine years and I wish you was still here
Got married and I moved out on my own
Wish I could invite you over
Wish that you could see my home
Wifey a pastor
I'm pursuing my dream
I'm serving the lord
I know Jesus is king
Bro got the babies and they gettin real big
Me and baby we still talkin about kids
Wish you could see us now
I really think that you be proud
I remember rapping I wish you could see it now
I got the studio you coulda came and played the bass
Write a track and make a rap and see the look upon your face
But it's all said and done
And the time went and gone
Now it's just memories that I write in a song
Wish I can talk to him
I would say I was wrong
If I could have another chance I woulda just went home

I can see
But it's gone now
I found the light
But it's dark now
I learned a lesson
But schools out
This pain I use for fuel now
