Dear Lyric & Jade

I promise this will be the realest thing I ever wrote Truest words I ever spoke They was sleeping on ya boy but I guarantee it Now they woke (Hey dad) Hey mama Wassup buddy Your normal has been distorted and contorted Wish I had a time machine But I can't afford it Son you're so handsome Baby girl you're gorgeous Leaving my heart on this track You may wanna record this Yeah Going on 21 Selfishly having fun Dealing with all the pressures that come with having a son Shying away from a girl who I once thought was the one Six months into pregnancy now we saying we done Damn But I can only blame me Tryna sow my wild oats Your mother couldn't tame me Gotta save me from my myself The way that I been moving Can't be good for her health Still learning what it takes to love Supposed to be a family why we breaking up Few pages short a book I put hers on a shelf Til this day I bet it's probably what she thinking of It's like I was on a mission Most ppl in my position Might've had some patience Probably even gone the distance Friends telling me it's more in the sea Too busy going fishing It's clear the problem was me First time holding your hand I saw the bigger picture Something said I could've waited Maybe I should've listened But instead I dated Looking for more What I want Whole time Not even sure In retrospect I should've showed more respect Only one trimester left Now it's disagreements Bout if you gone carry my name I gotta carry the shame Ask why your parents not together I still carry the blame You know, I wasn't the best boyfriend But, promised myself I'd be a better dad Despite all the adversity I hope I'm making y'all proud Yeah Back to my old ways Thinking back to the old days Two-five with two kids Should be stacking with cold plays All it took was one night Back to my old bae Say "we need to talk" Got another one on the way This new reality kinda hurts It's crazy how life works "Atleast it's with the same person" I viewed that as a perk Everything I said I wouldn't be I'm becoming All the things your mom would do for me I should be running But in her direction Now I face my reflection Once was two love birds Would've thought we were destined But she's truly a blessing Cuz she gave me you What's better than one Yeah, she gave me two You and ya brother the best thing to ever happen to me Some days I look into ya eyes You don't seem happy to me Well it's some things about the past I thought you ought to know Everything's not meant to last Sometimes you gotta go I know you always wondered why things are the way they are Just know we trying our damnest to make sure y'all have the best life possible Under the circumstances That's one thing that'll remain consistent Always You guys will never truly know How much you mean to me How you plant a seed Don't watch it grow That's obscene to me I'll never get it (I love you daddy) I love you too
