It's your birthday
We going up
You're the one
I'm the two
And they know it's us
Whatever we do
Their going to know it's us
There's your baby boy but I'm growing up
Hey, no question
They know I'm my dad's son
I'm just grateful to God that I had one
I'm sorry that you never had one
Forty-four now we're about to add one
Forty-five
It's time to level up
Left you abandoned
Somehow you found a way to survive
Introduced me to God when I was seven
Forever the both of you been on my side
Supported me in everything that I tried
Always told me the truth
I can't think of no lies
I was looking at you
Probably why I am so wise
I see my dad when I look in your eyes
Always told me it's fine if I ever cried
First time in your arms my tears stopped
Always taught me to look to the Lord as my guide
When I felt his arms my fears stopped
I know sometimes you worry but fear not
Taking flight on my own
Let my ears pop
Thankful for peace that your presence brought me
Way more important than presents you bought me
When I am all alone and I'm in my zone
You made it known you got me
When it ain't working out
And the weight getting heavy
I know you'll be there to spot me
When it's hard to give up
But not me
My last name is Kellum nobody going to stop me
I want to sack and I won't let them block me
When I'm in the field I don't forget what you taught me
I'm tough
I'm tough
I'm tough
Yeah I say it three times
For a second we rewind
Yeah that was way back
Remember my daddy would say that
Fast forward
Now we play back
Now I am a little bit older
Making decisions a little bit bolder
Came along way from riding a stroller
Look at me daddy you raised a soldier
If you do it now then you've already won
Look
He's Not just anyone
He shines
He's not just any son
He's mine
He's my mini one
My mind
Is blown
He's grown
He's twenty-one
My son is twenty-one
Man time
Is the most notorious caper
It marks me
Like Biz Markie we all caught the vapors
Wow
I wish I could catch a vapor now
And not let it go
Because a vapor
Like life
Ain't that long
So take it in my friend
That's right
Inhale it while you can
But understand
Not long after you exhale
It's gone
See time has an annoying tendency
Of tearing away a child's parental dependency
It's necessary for a child's transcendency
For a while son
Your dependency has been torn
But I smile son
When I reminisce of you being born
It was the first time we ever met
It was a memory I'll never forget
You came into this world and you were pissed
You didn't quite get the gist
That his new world you were in
Was going to be better than the bubble you were living in
You were angry
You were cold
You were lonely
You were scared
You were crying and kirking out
And that nurse trying to comfort you while she was cleaning you up
Yeah, that wasn't quite working out
"Dad maybe you should give it a try" the nurse did say
But her words did not truly convey
Or prepare me for
The miraculous memory that was underway
You see
The exact moment you were placed in my arms
You're crying ceased
Maybe you perceived
I'd protect you from harm
Maybe you sensed peace
I don't know exactly why you stopped crying
I just know that morning
You made me so glad
That morning you made me a dad
One of the most rewarding and demanding responsibilities I've ever had
And it all started with you EK II
Now today
I look at you
My little boy has gone away
And I miss the day when we were gone to play
We would root for the same sports teams
That was the dream
Father and son
Whatever team I liked you liked them too
And it made it better in any season going through
Those seasons with you
Until the day you held a private press conference to let me know
That you were taking your fanmanship to the team opposite of mine
It felt so unkind
You were so out of line
Now today
I look at you
My little boy has gone away
And I miss the day when we were gone to play
Taking you to the fields and the courts
Teaching all I knew about sports
I didn't know a lot
But I taught you what I knew
Because I wanted you to be better you see
That's why I didn't trip when you became better than me
Now today
I look at you
My little boy has gone away
And I miss the day when were in the car
We'd play and rap and sing the same songs
Going back and forth with lyrics like ping pong
Then one day
Hmph
Then one day
Then
One
Day
You didn't feel the music I was playing anymore
You went out to explore a sound that would give you more
Satisfaction
Then one day
We spent less time together
Then one day
Our weight lifting routine was severed
Then one day
You got your cap and gown
Then one day
I'm treading water
Trying not to drown
In the fears that you no longer needed me
I was no longer your hero
But I didn't see
that you were needing to find yourself son
Like Marlin finding Nemo
Then one day
I hate that phrase
It's so subtle and sneaks up on you
But with it comes significant change
That you can't change
Because it's beyond you
Then one day
One day is today
I want to cry and laugh
My little boy's been limited to mental images and photographs
From times past
One day is today
Your adult world awaits
And to you I celebrate
As I anticipate that you will create so many
One Days
Because
You're not just anyone
You're not just any son
Your far better than any son
My levels of love for you are plenty son
My mind
Is blown
You're grown
You're twenty-one
My son is twenty-one
And this new world you are in
Is going to be better than the bubble you've been living in
So embrace it
Face it
Don't fear it
Endear it
Because one day
It will be a vapor
When we return to our Maker
But for for today
I say
To my son and friend
I love you
