Young light skin, born leaked every pin
Since I was 10, probably name all the trouble I did
Never participate, I'm like fuck all them other kids
Like I don't owe your child shit when I make it big
But a little respect, fuck I should really expect
Never raised a gentleman like Ne-Yo says
Lookin' for hero heads but I don't see none yet
All my friends weed and cigarettes so I take a hit
That's some potent shit, oh nigga, police man
I ain't scared of shit but hell yeah I ran
Lost my money clip, ever since wrapped rubber bands
Riggity bands, did a couple of scams, made a couple of grand
Fast forward to the 4 escort, I borrowed it
Told quick, 14, no license, that's some awful shit
Now must I catch up like condiments?
Kinda just wish you taught me how to be a man
Growin' up all I wanted was a father figure
Me and mom alone every dinner
One day I hope you hear this, I pray you doin' better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
If I sent my dad letters
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
One day I hope you hear this, I pray you doin' better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter
Word is, 10th grade, kicked out the crib
Like where I go from here? Lucky I had a girlfriend
Cause man will money make the world spin
Ridin' around the big body Benz
Wonderin' who in there, says pedestrian
Spoiled kid, never that
Worked too hard to get where I'm at
Thinkin' fuck school but next semester I'll be back
I hated rules but runnin' the world I often dream of that
Dream of meetin' you dad
Mom's really gettin' mad when I call you that
I don't understand when your phone number's all I ask
She laughs with her jaw dropped like Jim Carrey mask
Damn, so I then plot, resort to raisin' my own little man
But I'm too young for that, wait, I take that back
I should've used a hat, my girl gettin' fat
Whatever results, make sure that
I'll be dead like you wasn't there
Growin' up all I wanted was a father figure
Me and mom alone every dinner
One day I hope you hear this, I pray you doin' better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
If I sent my dad letters
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
One day I hope you hear this, I pray you doin' better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter
Lately really it's been on my mind
The pain eatin' me alive one verse at a time
And this heart problem ain't helpin' at all
Diagnosed, just wanna stay at home
Dyin' slow so I bought a fast car and a couple of charms
Now family and old friends wanna get involved
Some nigga tryna marry moms, he like my songs
I find it odd sometimes, wanna fuckin' shoot his head off
Am I in the wrong? Didn't think so, movin' on
I'm workin' on my new album, been singin' songs
But rap is what I does, I was 20 young
Then 21, then 22 like Emmit was
Everybody sleepin' on 'em, time to wake 'em up
Word, wake 'em up, word, wake 'em up
Now everybody chasin' us like they missed the bus
Girls wanna roll like a blunt, P.S. your only son
Growin' up all I wanted was a father figure
Me and mom alone every dinner
One day I hope you hear this, I pray you doin' better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
If I sent my dad letters
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
One day I hope you hear this, I pray you doin' better
This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter
If I sent my dad a letter
If I sent my dad a letter
