Jay Horn - AUTISTIC DAD

What do you do
When your son live in silence
But you need him
To completely
To understand
You believe in him

But he don't speak
He not like you
But you strike him
Cause his disability
Is keeping him
From being one of them

It started
When my lady
Told me baby
We are pregnant
From romancing
Nausea started
Then her
Water broke
It's a preemie
It's a junior
I'm a daddy
Wait a min
Doctors saying
There's a problem
With my baby throat
Wife is stressing
It's depressing
Still a blessing
Cut a section
Doctors stretching
Out her stomach
An it made me sick
Baby talking
Baby walking
We both working
Daycare calling
Shots of vaccine
Gotta my baby
Out here Dumb as shit

What do you do
When your son live in silence
But you need him
To completely
To understand
You believe in him

But he don't speak
He not like you
But you strike him
Cause his disability
Is keeping him
From being one of them

Months later
He stop speaking
Wife is freaking
Out and thinking
He is stubborn
Cause we learned
A lot
An now he mute
His decline
Happened slowly
Didn't notice
That my son was
Screaming help me
I can't hear him
Cause I'm in commute
Me and wifey
Started fighting
It ignited
My upbringing
In religion
If you spare the rod
You spoil the child
Having three
Other kids
With no problems
They are normal
Makes you wonder
Did the vaccine
Take away my smile

What do you do
When your son live in silence
But you need him
To completely
To understand
You believe in him

But he don't speak
He not like you
But you strike him
Cause his disability
Is keeping him
From being one of them

Now we seeing
Doctors daily
Running test and
Sipping Baileys
Me and wifey
Sleeping maybe
While he watch TV
PTSD
She was healing
And She hurting
I couldn't see it
I saw anger
She stopped working
So it's all on me
I hit my knees
Started praying
He not saying
Nothing to me
I got angry
Started swinging
This some bullshit
I said God
Why you do this
I been faithful
Why you chose me
For this burden
It's confusing
An my son sick

What do you do
When your son live in silence
But you need him
To completely
To understand
You believe in him

But he don't speak
He not like you
But you strike him
Cause his disability
Is keeping him
From being one of them

We got some Mail
With a social
It's official
That he's special
Can't believe it
We was hoping
For a miracle
It never came
We accepted
That our baby
Diagnosed as
Being different
Like his daddy
Being lyrical
But now we yell
You can do it
Even though he
Couldn't do it
Time to change him
Potty training
Every single day
But I'm a daddy
Ain't no quitting
We committing
Babys climbing
Up the Spectrum
Hope he hear me
Daddy love you Jay

What do you do
When your son live in silence
But you need him
To completely
To understand
You believe in him

But he don't speak
He not like you
But you strike him
Cause his disability
Is keeping him
From being one of them
