Lamar4ever & Jerry Dodrill - 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
