Fathers (Pops) Video (MV)

You love me as your own
Didn't hesitate a thought
To care for me
Quiet in your guidance
Play your part
As the tower by a fault
But you hardly sway
Flawed as anyone
But unselfish in a helping way
Sacrifices defined by parenthood
Push your ego to the side to look out for the child's good
And now that I've matured
You and mom's did ya thang
I turned out decent enough
From what I hear today
This rap thing partly yo fault
I fell in love wit the LLs, MELLE Mel's, boom baps and squawked
A rhythm through my head and let the pages go and talk
Till I got bold enough to go off
A mixture of the music
& CDs you made for me
Maybe we could retire you Moms gracefully
Up in a nice house,
Or a condo livin safe in peace
Comfortable life, beyond your basic needs
Wouldn't you agree
That the role of a dad transcend beyond a seed
Stability is what a kid needs
And I was blessed wit extra foundation
Two fathers,
But see, it ain't till maturity when realized what you did for me

Let me take you back to that lil man
Sickly kid, held in your arms with your workin hands
A few months in marriage
And that's where the work began
Momma at the navalbase,
And you work with her to plan a future
How do you feel as you see a baby
Not your own, barely grown yourself
And you partner to raise me
They say we are the sum of who meet
I've known you all my life
And the music is what made me
So I just can't blame me for this spittin
Cause you, you sparked that interest
An obsession wit learnin bout the craft and in the business
Pennin raps in my classes
I admit, I should've listened
Maybe I'd have passed a test or two if verses wasn't written
But that's what happens when passions don't overlap academics
A lack of motivation and making of bad decisions
But I'm off on a tangent
Understand this is a token of my gratitude
And I'd never diminish a mother's love
But I'm so glad you could be part of my life
And all the pages that I've yet author
As I barter time, and I become smarter
I'll always love you
And recognize you as my father
