Father Can I Hear You...
Father can i hear you?
Father can I hear you speak?
Father can I hear you laugh?
Why you was never there for me?
Why you never showed me the path?
All I hear is silence.
Is this why my life's feeled with violence?
All this gang-bangin on the street.
Left momz with bills to meet.
Why I never had a father to keep?
I hated you for the longest time.
Had to put you to the back of my mind.
Had to stop frontin, needed to stop being blind.
Cause I Know you will never be there.
I know you would never see me shed a tear.
Was I not that important to you?
Did you ever care?
I'm not the only child you did this to,
But five.
Did you even bother to say good-bye?
My anger grew bigger.
I was ready to go to jail.
ready to pull the trigger.
ready to hit you with a bottle of liquor.
Then I stopped asking.
cause everytime I asked
nobody was talking.
Everytime I asked
I always felt pain.
These queston's unanswered
almost made me insane.
