Hey son this is your Dad
Am writing you this letter to make you strong whenever you're down
I had to do bad, so you can do better
I was locked in the pen when I wrote you this letter
But you was way too young, don't understand no evil and no better
It's time that I tell you who I am, so I can protect you
'Cause a bad role model is something I can't afford to be to you
'Cause only me and God knows what I did just to eat
I steal for you, I deal for you
That's what I did for you
To get a meal for you
Nearly died for you
Did the time for you
I survived for you
To provide for you
All this for you
Did this for you
All that I do
I do for you
So you don't have to...
Made a couple trips home
Had a couple bricks on me
And always kept a stick on me
Can't let 'em make a victim...
