g-natural pops tribute (feat. sir-1 & jaamar mckelvey) [interlude] şarkı sözleri
One thing that I will take from my father, the fact that he was solid, he made good decisions
He was a role model that I could look up to. He is a great example
My dad used to always tell me"Sahaan, don't do anything I wouldn't do"
And I thought it was a funny joke
But as I grew older and I had kids, then I find myself telling my children"Don't do anything I wouldn't do"
Then I realized I can't do the things that I don't want them to do
And that's the example that my father left me
Somebody who was always going to make good decisions, good choices
A role model that I could be confident following
I want to be the kind of man who my kids see in that same way
When I think about my own life growing up
The classes that I liked the most was when I was challenged and it was also just a fun class to go to
And so I'm grateful that my dad was someone who personified that really well
And that he was able to challenge us to be great
And he was also able to create an environment that was enjoyable to go to
So now that I'm a teacher, that's something I want to do
And that I want to convince these students that they can be great
And also want to smile and laugh and have a good time while we're doing it
You know, when I think about my dad's legacy, I think of three things, laughing and telling corny jokes. I think of him preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. And I think of him singing and playing the piano. And also taking pictures. Man, he used to love taking pictures
And so whenever I do any of those things, it's like -- you know, people tell me this all the time"Oh, you remind me of your dad"
You know, when I was a teenager, I didn't really appreciate it
But now that I'm older, I get it
And I'm grateful and I'm proud
My dad inspires me and encourages me
And even now when we talk on the phone, he still gives me feedback and advice and cheers me on
And if I can do even a little bit of that for somebody else, it means I'm like him
So if he's still going.. man, I better keep going.
