Father's Day

[Spoken intro] I just thought it was appropriate to, uh Just to give a shout out, or show my appreciation to all the fathers Cause I hear a lot of rappers say or brag about not having kids but Guess what? I do So I'd like to send this record out to all the daddies You know the real daddies, taking care of shit [Verse 1] This one’s for the skateboarders, emcees, b-boys like me Street artists in magazines, DJs with babies Working hard, you never sleep, never get to spend they time at home Send that money but you never see him Always working, daddy’s gone To the brick laying, dirt digging Burger flipping in the fucking kitchen Just to get that check on Friday So you could bring back home what was missing Everyday is feed my kids day End of the month is rent day And if you don’t get back to work on time They tax you for that month’s break For the d-boys holding weight And for the daddies who are locked away Doing time cause you was doing crime But you was only trying to put down a plate Maybe to get some baby J's In the 80s, hey, that’s how we raised And to the men feeding a friend's child When that friend has passed away I've got to say [Spoken] Yeah, to all my closest friends And all the father figures in my life You know I really, I just wanna say thank you Yo, for real [Hook] Happy father’s day No matter how you getting paid You hustle hard, you show the way Happy father’s day [Verse 2] Tell my mama not to worry about me Cause I ain’t never had a second to forgive my dad I can’t help but to believe in myself It's not really a choice but a matter of being a real dad When I came to the world I knew I had a talent But I never would imagine I would be a young dad And I grew up like a weed overnight, through the crack in the concrete Look at me, young daddy Tell me how to walk away from a child And I’ll tell you how to walk away from a million dumb daddy If you can walk away from a million bucks then you never gave a fuck You a dumb luck, dad To look up and see a man above you To tell you that you ain’t invisible, that’s a motherfuckin' daddy Somebody to push you, and teach you how to fight If you didn’t fight, fuckin right, that's a good dad Gotta take a second now show love to the trailer park apartment hood dads A man who ain’t got a lot but in a minute he would drop it all Do anything he could do daddy Jesus, when I go to see every baby mama who never had a real dad Don’t take it out in the baby or maybe even the man when he’s only trying to become A real daddy [Spoken] …cause it ain’t easy But it’s a blessing man Makes you work hard To all the hard workers out there I just wanna say [Hook] Happy father’s day No matter how you getting paid You hustle hard, you show the way Happy father’s day [Outro] And that’s from the Heart… The Heart Of Dixie… The Heart Of Dixie
