You try to be real and authentically sound
Meanwhile naysayers steadily putting you down 
Guess that comes with the territory
So says the allegory 
As I scribe these words to illustrate my story 
Take a walk in my shoes doubt if you will 
Product of Baltimore 
Son of Tiny and Theodore 
Learned the art of war from life's lessons
When the chips were stacked against 
I kept it moving  
And learned to count my blessings 
Undiagnosed depression
I️ must confess that
I️ write with aggression
Trying to suppress obsessions
Questions my reasons for being
Until I️ look into my daughter's eyes
And got the conformation 
Why I'm needed
Though my first born
Don't see it that way
Cause he's blinded by some lies
Sipping poison like it is okay
Although I️ never walked away
And respect how you feel
Son I️ love you
Yet we got cards to deal 
Blocked my number 
I️ guess I'm waiting on you

I️ guess I'm waiting on you
I️ guess I'm waiting on you
I️ guess I'm waiting on you
I️ guess I'm waiting on you

Is what I'm suppose to do
Bare my soul on the track 
More than some quo-tables black 
No holding back 
As I write out of necessity 
It's stressing me 
Yet I open up over this melody 
With less brevity 
As I'm gaining some clarity 
Building my legacy 
With your mom
Throughout her pregnancy 
Who woulda knew
17 years later
I'm reflecting on the disrespect 
And the pain's greater
Court cases 
Child support payments
Being alienated amongst the frustration
Far from a dead beat 
With a reputation 
Of a rollin stone
Like that track from the temptations
You say I don't support you right 
Text messaging 
You don't want me in your life 
Claim I've been missing for years 
Which ain't even right 
But the truth always find a way 
To come into 
The light

I guess the truth always find a way to come into the light right
Guess the truth always find a way to come into the light 
I guess the truth always find a way to come into the light
I guess the truth always find a way to come into the light

Through it all I wanted was to be a father
And break a cycle 
Cause I didn't want a baby mama
How can I blame you 
Your a mere victim
Of kids trying to raise a baby
Making adult decisions 
Going their separate ways 
Cause of lies that caused division 
Which equaled cynicism
Drama and unwanted attention
You were my only focus
Every choice that I made 
Was to build that foundation 
So you could stand on my shoulders 
And walk across the boulders 
Cause a Father Son relationship is vital 
I lost my pops after your arrival
Now that's pain's recycled 
I put that on my soul 
With both hands on a bible
God strike me dead if I'm lying
I would never trifle 
With my children
Cause I know that feeling
And running away 
From your responsibilities is not appealing 
This is my open letter 
I love you without a ceiling 
Sincerely Dad
Lets begin the healing
