Pop's Gone

Papa gone Not to mention Feelin Farther from home In a zone but not really In the zone Really feel alone Lone Ranger No clique No sidekick Villains I be livin In my mind with Hope when you can't find it On some never mind this Reminded Leave bullcrap where you find it Used to be among the winners Play time and family dinners Good life Holidays in hood kitchens Me and pops Sitting in the tall chairs Choppin' it up Life in the ghetto It was more than enough You can't go back To what used to be But I just want to acknowledge Everything you did for me Cause perfection's hard to grasp Never one to give advise And I'm never one to ask So while I'm caught up In this zone I'll put my thoughts in a song I realize that Pop's gone He's gone Pop's gone We in the kitchen eatin' chicken Thinkin bout the past And all the drama in it Hood livin In the ghetto With the good business Preach the gospel But nobody listen They say the skies the limit But Jim Crow Steel toe Crush ya ribs in Too careful We too timid If life is worth living Go harder Push farther Antonio Tarver Vince Carter These dudes I'm the man that you made me I don't even care if you hate me It's like lately I'm trying to be Where the great be Whether Hi-Tone or New Daisy Go off like M80 Truth is Losing you changed me East Boogie raised me Yeshua saved me So while I'm caught up In this zone I guess I'll put my thoughts In a song I realize my Pop's gone He's gone If they don't know struggle They don't know us Life full of hustle Car full of rust Life in the jungle Where dreams get crushed Where young girls cus Fights on the school bus Strength is a must The echo of the slums Talk about us We talk through the drums City sideways Crime pays White collar Get knocked Pops say we gotta fight harder Not a dollar to my name Just a brain full of game Real men separate The real from the lame A real father recognize that kids Ain't the same Meet you where you at tho Hit you with some info Keep it all simple No flossin' on the god Be patient Understand that life can be hard So while I'm caught up In this zone I guess I'll put my thoughts In a song Papa's gone
