Was It Worth It
(专辑: Church Clothes Vol.2 - 2013)
[Verse 1: Derek Minor] On birthdays and Christmas I
used to have you on my wishlist Held my son the
first time, looked him in his eye And thought to myself, what kind of fool would ever miss this I
ain't ask for you to sleep with mom and make me Plus I'm your blood, why would you leave, what was so important They told you smash broads roll up the
weed I
guess that buzz got you high enough to float over me I
hope that every dollar that you made, every girl that you slave When you close your eyes at night, I
hope you say it's all worth it Every graduation, birthday, game that you missed I
hope what you got instead make you feel it's all worth it Being a, father's expensive and it cost you may ignore Just know man, your grandson is paying for it Can't ask myself what would dad do in hard times 'Cus that that man he'll be writing one of these rhymes [Hook: Crystal Nicole] All these hearts that you broke, all these lies that you told All this pain that you own, years all alone Nights away from home, tell me I
hope it was worth it, was it worth it Tell me was worth it, tell me was it really worth it [Verse 2: Lecrae] Listen, a
lot of rap dudes never had a
daddy That's why we want approval from Nas like he family But, it ain't just Jermaine, it's Dre to the
game To the
Birdman saying that he's the
father of Wayne, man What happened to us better yet what didn't happen No happy family 'cus daddy left me Deep in this valley, of the
Shadow of Death I'm felling the
breath of repetitiveness on my neck Ate me alive while daddy was getting high Trying to chase after something that I'm certain he'll never find When the
whole time, he could have had my young mind Somewhere along the
line I
guess he spent up all his time Sent me this birthday card out of the
blind, when I
was nine Inherited a
bunch of of pain and some empty memories Wishing that he picked me up from elementary I
wish he could have seen me on my graduation Taught me he to raise the
son, and told me congratulations [Hook x2]
