Dear dad, I hope U know how much I miss u/
No matter what my age is, ill never forget u/
Got ya name on my arm, dedicated in your tribute/
Cryin holdin ya picture wishin death you could've live thru/
But you wit God now, and that's the reason why I grew up as a lost child/
Runnin the streets smokin weed just to calm down/
Learnin the hard way cuz I was never taught how/
See as you know I've made a lot if mistakes/
And I'm sure you've seen all the pain I put on my mothers face/
All the shit she been thru since I caught my first case/
Now when I stare at my reflection all I see is hate/
Damn, how'd I get this fucked up? Is it me?/
Never thought I'd 24 livin in misery/
But shit, it is what it is no excuses/
I know u lookin down with faith that i can do this/
So ima prove it/

HOOK:
And lord knows, every time I cry/
Thinkin bout the past and why u had to die/
So many memories, I swear I'll never forget/
Can't wait for the day we finally together again/
And lord knows, without a father it was harder/
But I ain't complainin' cuz yo it only made me stronger/
And even tho u gone, you'll always b in my heart/
Swear that'll never change no matter how long we apart/
I miss u

And i know life goes on, but still/
The pain when you died, even time couldn't heal/
It left us in a mess, stressed, feelin' depressed/
Stuck kickin' up dust, never knowin what's next/
Tryna make it thru, tho all we had was each other/
But momma a soulja, and so is me n my brother/
I only wish u was here, so you could wipe away the tears/
And so we wouldnt have to live thru so many bad years/
Cuz when the storm came, the rain didnt stop/
Things only got worse, no thanks to the cops/
Damn I seen our family pieces, prayin god tell me why/
cuz i cant seem understand the reason/
But still we carry on, livin strong/
For u and all our family gone, thats why i write these songs/
From now and till forever, representin Ralli/
tryna make u proud with these endeavors/

And now times changin, another year passed/
Thats why my mind racin, tryna get that cash/
And ima do or die chasin, livin for my dreams/
Since a kid at 16, in the city spittin clean/
On my grind patient, meanwhile/
My brother off at college, studying for a degree/
Becomin his own man, completley separate from me/
And yea we still kick it, just not like old times/
but i aint mad, Cuz now we both got our own lives/
It was just a matter of time i guess, livin day to day/
Just tryna survive the next, momma say she pray/
I just hope she be cryin less, hope she dyin less/
Hope she still breathin to witness us climb success/
See i wanna make you both proud
And ima do it the Only way i know how
Sayin my name loud everywhere i go now
