Talked to my dad on the phone today
He broke down and apologized
Said he sorry for the way things got f**ed up
And he wished he did a better job
Couldn't see his face but I could hear his watered eyes
I could hear him loud and clear wonder what am I
Understand me, I just want to see him try
But he didn't want to see us so he just shut his eyes
Told him don't sweat it I'm good, I'm fine
Your childhood was no harder than mine
I know he's your dad but motherf** my grandpa and the daughters that he victimized
And the way that he treated his sons when your brother was alive
Once upon a time
And I know that you still don't believe in the way that he died
Honestly neither do I but we just comply
Now I have moved on
Brand new city new wife new mom
All those days you whooped my a**
Those same nights I wished you gone
So I hid in the bathroom and I wrote my first song without a beat
Hid the dirty clothes underneath the crack in the door
So you couldn't ever see my feet
Let the water run so you couldn't hear my voice
Hid the notebook so you never ever knew
Song after song
Page after page
Day after day
Writin songs about you
So when you say that you proud of me now
Can't explain what that means
We are who we are because of that sh**
So no I don't want to be
Chorus x2:
In a perfect world
Where nothin' ever goes wrong
Far, far away from me no
Water from the teaser
Wonder how the other go
Talked to my big bro bro today
He broke down and apologized
Said he's sorry for the way things got f**ed up
And he wish he did a better job
As he rolled up a blunt of some medical pine
Lit it but he didn't want to hit it this time
He then started shakin then he started cryin
sh** had been building in the pit of his mind
He said
I wish I never robbed my brothers
I wish I never robbed those b**hes
Now when he thumps somebody
Can't find they sh** and they can't find me
Then I'm suspicious
Don't nobody think I'm sufficient
And my time is ticking
I wish I never dropped out of school
Never seen me sell dope or washed them dishes
I said look my friend, my dawg
I know you feel lost and that's real (true)
But you wouldn't want to feel warmer inside if you never had gotten them chills (true)
Could you save your son from fallin' this far if you don't know how that sh** feels
If Anthony never od'd and died then I would prolly be still poppin pills
Rest his soul
We are who we are
You don't enjoy thinkin back that far
This sh** wasn't easy most times it was hard
But the darkest of nights make the brightest of stars
So be the light in the dark
f** bein the norm
Some days I wish it was easier too, but sh** we were not born
In a perfect world
Where nothing ever goes wrong
Far, far away from me no
Water from the teaser
Wonder how the other goes
In a perfect world
Where nothing ever goes wrong
Far, far away from me no
Water from the teaser
Wonder how the other goes
In a perfect world
