A Father's Heart

Father Pasifika
Isolate
Had to cut off all the family
They can't be tamed
What a vision of the culture
All I knew was that we drink until it rains, and
They take and then they take
Don't reach out to me I'll meet you at the gates
At the gates
At the gates, at the gates

Two new babies, new house, old car
Workin' multiple jobs
Said you need it
What's the reason?
Barely eating, and you keep asking for more
Same last name, cut from a different cloth
No, we're not blood
Had your demons, fought to keep 'em
Had our reasons

Blood is not deeper than trust, trust, trust
Blood is not deeper than trust

Father, I see your soul
See your heart in the middle
Couldn't cater both
Saw you grieving for the man who never
Showed control
But you show control
Broke a cycle but you never break another's bones

Bikin' back and forth between the job
Mama doin' hours just to give us what we want
You got super powers, but you're still somebody's son
Protector of your mother
Not your fault he had too much
Scars don't have to be birthmarks
The road ends where the heart starts
Scars don't have to be birthmarks
The road ends where the heart starts
Said blood is not deeper than trust, no
Oh, blood is not deeper than trust
No, blood is not deeper than trust
Trust

Bitch, don't get me started
I could give a fuck if you related to my father
You see that, right there, is my brother
The older I get, the more I just wanna start somethin'
Cycles on cycles on cycles
He can choose peace, I still wanna fight you
Still wanna fight you
My father's heart, my father's heart
