Story behind the song
Tribute to my father who died a few nights ago, we received word, on May 10, 2002... i will never forget u dad .. i love u
Lyrics
As i stepped in the car, and sat down my mom told me
steve ya dad died,
same guy that neva called, neva wrote me..
went on trips to haiti, without us, u still my homie man
this some shit for a child to even go through
my brother cant shed a tear, cuz frankly he didnt know u
my moms takin it strong, yall had differences
but she stayed wit u, cuz she new as a father u needed ya kids
and vice versa, you gave us knowledge to fight furtha
cuz u said life?... it might jerk ya
but we'd just listen, in one and out the otha
i aint takin life for granted, im studyin my motha
and compelled to lay down tracks in your memory
cuz i know if i eva stop thinkin bout u its the end of me
all i can do is remember what u said to me
remember ya image, u was truly a friend to me
You aint needed in heaven u needed down here
its not ya time yet,please dad come back round here
me n u had the strongest ties in the family
no one undastood why u became such a man to me
whos gunna take care of us dad, imma provide now
goto college.. get a small job on the side now
such a big part uh my life, i'll be there witcha
name shoulda been Disney cuz u built my character
u did not die in vain, imma make u smile
my best point in life was held in ya arms a naked child
we all know u had dirt, but who doesnt
u had set backs in life with the money but who doesnt
2 days ago, talkin to moms cursin ya name
now i think bout ya sacrifices, u flirted with pain
workin jobs, certain jobs for years wit no gain
i wanna be you, head always held high, u felt no shame
3 years ago u took us all to haiti for 2 weeks
and for the first time, we saw ya history
then we came back to US, and u went back to misery
the pain i saw u suffer them last days here, was killin me
still waitin for that taxi no matter how long it took ya
member dad, heh, u introduced me to milk and sugar
drivin us to school, u spoke of those whod fear us
addicted to ciggarrettes, yet u wouldnt dare smoke near us
and i thank you pops, fa lettin me breathe i thank u lots
for you? id climb building and jump rooftops
and i remember those times when u would make us mad
but ya whole life was dedicated to doin more good then bad
we live in a cold world and u knew it
u raised us harsh, otha families aint used to it
i guess i'll let god takeover, and witness his plan
you wasnt no celebrity but listen dad im ya biggest fan
