Offspring

Let me thank you for taking care of my mother Let me thank you for everything that you did Let me thank you for going half on my brothers Let me thank you for showing us how to live Let me thank you for taking us out the hood Let me thank you for helping us get a crib Let me thank you for pouring this gasoline Let me thank you for burning this fucking bridge Let me thank you for missing our graduations No congratulations we turned out amazing But daddy we don't hate you We just wanna thank you so thank you When they ask about your family are you mentioning us Are you other kids any fucking different than us You were never there even when you were living with us You Paid the bills but you never paid attention to us What type of nigga are you not a nigga I trust You broke my mama heart to pieces I'm just picking it up My brother your son got Addicted to drugs And I'm assuming it's probably cause he was missing your love And no matter what you do you can't forget about us Money don't replace time no it isn't enough Mama sacrificed but she did it for us Her presence everyday was like Christmas to us This is not a diss this is real shit When you broke the family down I had to rebuild it When they all loss hope I kept them resilient You never met your grandkids they're one in a million They're one in a billion a trillion a zillion infinity Everything fades even those good memories But I'm sending blessings to you Understand as a man I got some questions for you Like where were you where were you When my brothers got locked Where were you where were you When my brother got shot Where were you where were you When he was fighting for his life Out of mind out of sight Escape the dark to find the light Little brother getting bullied had to cop a pocket knife I was doing your job had to teach him how to fight Had to teach him wrong from right and he still chose wrong Even when the world stops life still goes on It was mission impossible Now we're unstoppable We learned a lot from you We learned what not to do This is no knock to you Big bro split his eye in two We wouldn't of seen you if he didn't lay in a hospital Right across town nothing was stopping you You're in your own world and I hope that is tropical All this love that we got from you What happened with mom and you Master manipulator your moves were methodical But I swear to you I care for you I will be there when it's time to bury you I might even perform this song at your burial Didn't have to be this way we could've been sharing you Isn't that what parents do Like I said This is not a diss this is real shit We will never hate you pops not even a lil bit I wrote this in blood signed and I sealed it Even if your father never left you can feel this Offspring
