Bobby B Mac - Letter For U

Dear pop you the first ima write to
You taught me how to structure lines like haikus
I won't lie pop I cry every time I have these thoughts in my mind
You hated me growing up because I'm just like you
My first roll dawg my homie
I couldn't cry every single time you disowned me
Now that I'm older I'm letting em drip slowly
For them times that you beat me bad like you ain't know me
Damn, and I forgive you pop, I'm just emotional
Ran away from home so many times couldn't be close to you
Left me by myself all them times you was gone
I came home momma passed out on the lawn
She drowning in alcohol, and that broke me pop
That explains all the pills I popped
All the hoes I rocked
Took me to that strip club I was 16
And told me never trust a bitch and that hit me
But fuc that I'm only venting your flaws
I watched you turn ya life around
You made up for it all
You went to college age 45, made us the happiest
I watched them label you from gangster to a graduate
Pop! I know we clash a lot
I know I'm stubborn too
You've had my back all this time, and I'll cover you
So when they tell me
I'm the motherfucking greatest know I smile low key
Cause I made it here because of you
B

Too much my pride on my mind for me to face ya
So I'm writing tears falling on the paper
I've been drowning in my thoughts swimming too deep
Wanna tell you to your face but I'm too weak
I'll write this letter for you
Letter for you
I wrote this letter for you
This letter for you
But I can never send it
No no

Dear son, boy I miss you and it hurts me
God took you from my side I wasn't worthy
I cry thinking bout your whole life ahead of you
I cry more dreaming bout the things we'll never do
I'll never see ya first steps, or teach you how to walk
Never hear your first words when you learn how to talk
Holding your lifeless body in my hands as I scream
Letting my tears stream I'm begging the lord please
And it drove me to a fiend, I ain't deserve you
I mean it took me 6 years to find the words to
And when we lost you, ya mama put that rope round her neck
And she hung in my closet til her eyes went purple
It hurts son, I saved her but I fell down
4 years down the drain from that meltdown
The time passed I can only blame myself now
I left her stranded and for that I know I'm hell bound
And your face still haunts me every night that I sleep
I see you in my nephews, see you in my niece
Watching your cousins grow thinking damn why me
Ever since you went to rest I can never find peace
Fuc that son I know you still blessing me
I couldn't have you so you put your sister next to me
And she's become my world my baby girl and ima love her too
And your initials on my hands remind me she's here because of you B

Too much my pride on my mind for me to face ya
So I'm writing tears falling on the paper
I've been drowning in my thoughts swimming too deep
Wanna tell you to your face but I'm too weak
I'll write this letter for you
Letter for you
I wrote this letter for you
This letter for you
But I can never send it
No no

Dear B you the last ima pen to
For all the times neglected, I never meant to
For all the trials and tribulations we went through
And for the multiple times I tried to end you
But now I got to mend you
B
It's been a hard road, but you soldiered through
You shouldered so many cries nobody shouldered you
Because you stick to your pride, and see it molded you
To proud to tell when you struggling or when you folding
You done wasted years poisoning your mind and your body dawg
And when you hurting inside cut everybody off
And that coping mechanism gon be the death of you
You got daughter on the way who's gon depend on you
B
You got to change up, say Fuc the bullshit
Say Fuc the haters and snakes that's trynna pull shit
I know that demon inside you just wanna pull clips
Let me remind you, you made it out of that bull pit
B
You got people to live for, to die for
Willing to kill for em but they want you alive more
You got a woman to push the bitches aside for
Either your seed or the streets, who you provide for
B
I know your family hurt you
Even ya cousins too
I know you skeptic with people who say they loving you
Ya zone blew they assignments like we in cover 2
Remember dawg we only made it here all because of you

Too much my pride on my mind for me to face ya
So I'm writing tears falling on the paper
I've been drowning in my thoughts swimming too deep
Wanna tell you to your face but I'm too weak
I'll write this letter for you
Letter for you
I wrote this letter for you
This letter for you
But I can never send it
No no
I wrote this letter for you
I wrote this letter for you
I wrote this letter for you
I wrote this letter for you
