Father Figure - JG

Boy when you grow up, hope you turn into a man

And know that I been tryna give you everything I can

Me and your momma had some issues, none of this was planned

But I wouldn’t change a thing if I had a second chance

Reflecting on the way I acted when she told man wish I could take it back

But understand that this life isn’t made like that

And your actions have consequences, consequently I was focused on my defenses

Told her we ain’t ready for it, we already poor

We sleeping at your aunts crib and I already swore I wouldn’t have a kid until

I could give him everything, that I ain’t have an shit

That left your momma with a sore that I ain’t ever heal

When you were born I felt some shit that I ain’t ever feel

I really hated myself, for being scared about the weight that I felt

Having a kid when I’ma baby myself

'Cause now I look at you and you don’t even know it but

You the best thing I ever made and I ain’t make it myself

Damn

Father figure

Uh, father figure

With a father’s figure

Uh, when you cry I hope you know I feel the pain you feel

When you smile I feel like all my pain is healed

You give me strength to be a man and go chase it still

'Cause tou look up to me, so I gotta make it still

I see the world we live in man it make me scared as hell

Like which way we going, I can barely tell?

People’s morals lately seem like they very frail

Please don’t get caught up in the hype, never follow less you following the

light

And don’t be scared to swallow pride

What’s right is right son, be careful with your side

As I write this looking carefully in your eyes

I see your heart and soul and it resembles mine

The world is cruel so I hope you always kind

And never judge a man if he’s in a bind

Follow your heart, but always exercise your mind

Stay sharp, don’t ever dumb it down

Don’t get caught up in the run around but if you do, you don’t have to keep me

in the dark like the sun is down

Uh, father figure
