Daddy
I know that I fail you when I don't do them clothes, but I have to tell you that I hate doing them hoes, on them essays I be writing you know I be gettin' 4's, but that don't ever matter cause I'm lazy you know, You always ask what you doing wrong, but I listen to that phrase like it's a Drake song, I know all the words and it put me in my feelings, but I try my hardest not to believe it, your harsh, but lately your words been getting sweeter, it may be the situation, or your being a true believer daddy, I know how you stay home on Monday's, and how you stand in front of the church and read 1st Corinthians on Sunday's, yes, you were boy before you became a man, and I can tell you work by looking at your hands, dang them hands, they hard and rough, but it's like when we hug, they become soft to the touch daddy, and I remember when you first found out I cut, what started as a fiasco, turned into some deep love daddy, man that was the tightest hug I ever felt, I remember momma saying those who kill themselves go to hell, but that for real was where I felt I was at, but it was really just the world matter of fact daddy, and I remember when you and momma would fight, what started in the morning in the car would go into the bed at night daddy, I remember you laughing and your hands clapping, when you see Kevin Hart talk about his daddy, and you double over when Steve Harvey talked about Africa, I remember those good moments when I got made at you daddy, And daddy all the whoopin's you saved me from, when momma was strung out cause Melendez was driving her crazy, and the joy you had when your sister had her first baby, and when your parents been together for 40, through all these things you never ignored me daddy, and your still now my anchor, it's like you hold me down when I go through all this anger, cause granddaddy dead and I still don't believe it, cause every time I lose mind, you hunt it down and retrieve it daddy, you don't know how you relieve it daddy, you've made me a better believer daddy, and I never wanna say goodbye to you, a piece of me goes with who? You daddy, you taught me all about money, and how they will wanna take it from me, Jesus is on the mainline, tell him what you want, if you ever go, you'll be all I ever want daddy, but for right now while you still here, I will remember how to told me, I wasn't created with fear, and how I need to stop, fighting with Kir, cause if ya'll go, she's the only one near daddy, and your the one, who bought me my first guitar, and you haven't given up on my dream, so far, you never said playing them strings, are for whites, and you would never complain, when I played it all night daddy, I appreciate you were one who believed, cause some in the family said "it's only a dream" daddy, But you would always defend me, if I ever got offended, then tell me in the car on our way home, that you gotta deal with them cause their still kindred, and you told me if I became a rapper, I need to be independent, and not just talk bout the sex, and all my supposed millions daddy, I guess I wanna end it here, but for all the ones out there, who don't see it clear, Patrick Dewayne Vaughn is the best man in the world, I'm so honored, to be is baby girl, daddy, that's what you are, daddy, that's what you are, daddy, my only, daddy
