Ah, young light skinned, born leg every pen

Since I was 10 probably name all the trouble I did

Never participated, I'm like, fuck all them other kids

Like I don't owe you child shit when I make it big

But a little respect, fuck y'all though what do you expect

Never raised a gentleman like Ne-Yo said

Lookin' for hero heads, but I don't see none yet

All my friends, weeds and cigarettes so I take a hit

That's some potent shit oh there go police man

I ain't scared of shit, but hell yeah I ran

Lost my money clip ever since wrap rubber-bands

Biggity bam, did a couple of scams, made a couple of grands

Fast forward to the Ford Escort, I ball with it

Too quick fourteen, no license, that's some awful shit

Now must stack ketchup like condiments

Kinda just wish you taught me how to be a man

Growin' up all I wanted was a father figure

Me and mom alone every dinner

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin' better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

If I sent my dad letters, this what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin' better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

Word is, tenth grade kick out the crib

Like where I go from here, lucky I had a girlfriend

'Cause remember money make the world spin

Runnin' around the big body Benz wondering who in this

That's pedestrian, spoiled kid, never that

Worked too hard to get where I'm at, thinking fuck school but

Next semester I'll be back, I hate rules

But ruling the world I often dream of that, dream of meeting you dad

Moms really getting mad when I call you that

I don't understand, your phone numbers all I ask

She laughs with her jaw dropped like the movie Mask

Damn so I then reply resort to raising my own little man

But I'm too young for that, wait I take that back

I should've used the hat, my girl's gettin' fat

Whatever results make sure that I'll be there like you wasn't, dad

Growin' up all I wanted was a father figure

Me and mom alone every dinner

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin' better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

If I sent my dad letters, this what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin' better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

Double oh-nine, lately really it's been on my mind

The pain eatin' me alive one verse at a time

And this heart problem ain't helpin' me at all

Diagnose, just wanna stay at home

Dying slow so I brought a fast car, and a couple of charms

Now family and old friends wanna gettin' involved

Some **** tryna marry mom, he likes my songs

I find it odd sometimes wanna fuckin' shoot his head off

Am I in the wrong? Didn't think so movin' on

I'm workin' on my new album if you singin' songs

But rap is what it does, I was 20 young

Then 21, then 22 like Emmitt was

Everybody sleepin' on me time to wake 'em up

(Wake 'em up, wake 'em up)

Now everybody chasing us like they missed the bus

And girls wanna roll like a blunt, PS, your only son

Growin' up all I wanted was a father figure

Me and mom alone every dinner

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin' better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

If I sent my dad letters, this what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin' better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter

If I sent my dad a letter

If I sent my dad a letter
