KDCD - DAD Lyrics

Love, what I got to show for it?
If it's passion for my people, let it burn like blowtorches
Living past a little memory, I say this to you meaning this respectfully
You can't connect with me, like a boxer and his left is weak
Somedays I really wonder when you're gone, what am I to do?
You tried to hit me up through Insta but the silence grew
See if it's Hell or Heaven I would wanna follow you
Because me losing you make me feel like I'm dying too
Take y'all back to simpler times
You had shown me drawings that you did when you were 10 or nine
You had showed me every line you wrote when you were spitting rhymes
You ain't in a cell, but I can't judge you any given time
Questions start to fill my mind, like

Why would you do us like that?
Why try to break up the family then try to glue us right back?
You in a battle with liquor I hope for you to fight back
I know that you can fight that, I know that you can fight that, I'm asking why, like?
Why would you do us like that?
It's like you're out of my range, I ain't worried 'bout shootin' no strap
Why you had a yard and a lawn but you like to move in the trap?
I mean you're just being you, nun' I can do about that, damn

Driving drunk, life is sobering
I saw one of my friends, dying young, while consoling him
Actually that's a lie, we grew up and I was close to him
That's just one of many things I'm thinking of and coping with
Sorry son, and I ain't talking 'bout the Starry one
I call you that because you shine like one
My little nerds, chasing little birds
Convo slurred but you can feel the words
You wasn't in the streets back in the 'burbs
You wasn't in theaters snatching purses
Rapping verses, smashing girls or getting checks
That's the curse of living black in world where teachers lack respect
To tell you that you're more than your environment
So instead of reaching greatness we be reaching, but for violence
I don't see what the problem is
And finding it is not prerogative of mine
I came out the gutter from a hustler and I'm mighty fine
Just got out my momma's crib, man I'm feeling high in life
But when I see your pictures why I start to cry? Like

Why would y'all do me like that?
Why try to break up the man in me ain't no gluing me back
I'm in a battle with liquor, you hope that I can fight back
I know that I can fight that, I bring this question right back, I'm asking why sons?
Why would y'all do me like that?
It's like my mind's out of place, but I won't move it right back
I keep my back to the wall, staying true to my past
You know it's me being me, nun' you can do about that

Why would you do us like that?
Why try to break up the family then try to glue us right back?
You in a battle with liquor I hope for you to fight back
I know that you can fight that, I know that you can fight that, I'm asking why, like?
Why would you do us like that?
It's like you're out of my range, I ain't worried 'bout shootin' no strap
Why you had a yard and a lawn but you like to move in the trap?
I mean you're just being you, nun' I can do about that, damn

Why, why?
Why, why?
Why, why?
Why, why?
