Uh Early 90’s August fifth First time I caught da bliss A king was born, ya second child and ya last Fatherhood is complicated, you never shied from da task Pops was a hustler, always providing When I fell you pick me up, that’s never surprising Left Jamaica, traveled da world on a ship Searching for em chips Ungrateful me, hateful me Ain’t nobody there for me Before Kevin died, Life was a joy then Running wild in da bushes, playing with my toys then First time I felt love, I was Poochie’s boyfriend Fun times, heartbreak, watching da joy end Ya boy growing up, mom got issues Taking it out on me, them days are far from blissful Where my father at, damn I miss you I felt lonely Snuck out da house hanging with da homies Mom found out, drew da belt on me Entangled soul, far from perfect No one on this earth is Black River Jamaica where my turf is Trying to find my purpose Never lost my way, always stay aligned cause my soul’s ecliptic Hoping I could touch ya heart with this message even though it’s cryptic My father, my guardian, my rock, my home I’d be lost without you cause mom couldn’t do it on her own Raised like a soldier, my heart burns when I smile Cause God don’t care, friends ain’t loyal Be faithful my child, these friends ain’t for you Took on these New York streets, I'm a grown man now Slinging swords like Conan now Disobeying my old man now Found myself in jail, oh damn! Wow! Made it through though Mind over matter, every trap got a loop hole Success is taking me longer, going through ups and downs Evaluating my friends, loyal to the ones who stuck around Riding wit my dawgs, they bucking now Back in da streets hustling now Pops getting older, getting sick too, pressure’s building up On top of that I'm black and em cops killing us I can’t be a failure, my destiny’s greater and I know it If I should die, I die heroic My life’s historic The flyest poet Káy I give my life to you cause you gave life to me This life ain’t right for you, cause you a king rightfully But God don’t care, my heart hurts when I pray Hand you the Sun, Moon and stars, as the night turns day As the fire blaze Send a dove to my pops, I love you, words I never say Oh oh oh, yeah I love you more than I can say I'll love you twice as much tomorrow Oho, I love you more than I can say Oh oh oh, yeah I miss you every single day Why must my life be filled with sorrow
