but man...
They ask me where I been
Dog I been rebuilding with my wiz and children
Put my pops in the ground, hit the repass and ate the same shyt that killed him
Your habits didn't deviate
Just thought you would appreciate
My mom used to say I was a whore just like you
So mom, I ran through even more just to spite you
And pops, my health is doin' pretty good despite you
I try, so I don't die at 54 just like you
Cold...I'm one snowflake away from an avalanche
My first teachers were masters of self sabotage
My momma walking slower these days, she got a stint
Still on them Newports, where's your fukkin' common sense
Pardon my French, I'm just still unconvinced
That was young as you are, soon I'll be taking care of you
I get you're the one that did the raisin(g) I'm the son(sun)
But I'm not ready to cry at your burial
You can't undo it you either succumb to it
Make the adjustment or just become numb to it
Looking over your life like "the fukk have I done to it?"
Knowing your blood line is the river that runs through it
My sons look at me these days and think I'm certified
Preparing them for a world they'll be deserted by
Internalize...black man if you get a tea spoon of compassion that's more than double the serving size/
I get impatient shyt is taking too long
They don't get it
I really lived it you can say what you want
Cause by the time you realize that your father was right, you'll probably have your own son telling you that you wrong
But be his ride or die even if you two ain't seeing eye to eye
Teach him how to throw a punch, ride a bike, tie a tie
Hold onto him while you can this is just what I advise
:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:
I stopped reading. As someone who lost his pops a few years ago i already felt the waterworks

I gotta actually listen to fully take that shyt in.’l fukk just reading it

This is a dope album. The production is throwing me. Just because it's clearly his in house team and not 9th, Khrysis, Fatin, etc. Sounds like Zo, Swiff D, etc.

very dope. Just not as used to Phonte rapping only over that.

bars are great. Obviously.

Cry No More almost made me shed one

That's where I'm at on the production. The last verse on Cry No More...
