Little boy, go strong
You might not be able to see it all
I seen it all, I'm the witness for you
When they tried to hurt you, I did my business for you
You'll never hurt again, or never work for them
My blood, sweat, and tears, no taking words from them
It don't mean shit to me, so it don't mean shit to you
If I gotta hide you, just what I'ma do
Try to come for you, I can only bend
I would never break, protect the boy from within
If they try to kill me, I will die in vain
Cause I never want the boy to feel that pain again
But I'm growing older, it's getting so much harder
Try to keep away, only so much I can garner
As I take them hits, and I can feel them shits
Gotta protect this boy, I think I'm losing it
I think I'm losing it
When she have the birth, it will be my first
My one and only son, she want others, I make that work
If I have a daughter, love her so much harder
Never disappear, I'm your only father
No father figures, cause I'm your father figure
I got this heart to give you
And something more that I never had
Not taking shots, I love my pops
But I know what to do to be a better father for you
I know what to do to be a better father for you
As it goes it folds, it wasn't my pleasure that froze
I had it, then I lost it
So much sleep, I have lost it, I'm exhausted
My thoughts is, deranging while I'm laying
Is you relating, or just saying, well it helps me numb the pain
Then I feel it all again, right after we through
Try and protect this boy, about all I can do
With if, the one, I protect, is the one
I hurt direct, she the one, misdirect
Done hiding behind her shit, now we see just what this did
Little things becoming big,
They ask me what's going on
I tried to right my wrongs, but I left in all these songs
You see it when I put on, why the fuck you be putting on
You been fighting for some closure too many years
Fighting back the tears for too many years
You a man, I have noticed, you protect me
I have noticed
But one thing you have not noticed,
Each time you decided not to acknowledge the pain
You fucking suffocating me,
And how the hell you not notice
You need to let me free, don't protect me no more
I've been, all I can be, this is a part of the closure
The little boy has gotten older
Lately, I've been feeling at my best, yeah it's lucky left
I ain't got a problem, but we all have our problems
I ain't with the drama, but we all have our problems
Like touching shorty in the commons, without no condom, what else we got in common
We all got a story dawg, but only a few, can tell it from the heart
I don't like that you be working, all the time, but I understand you out here, and
You on your grind I respect that, and I love that,
It take me back, to where I was at
Trying to find myself, when I was on my own
That time spent, and it hit me then, you can't do it on your own
So I'm here for you, like you were there for me
I'm scared for you, like you were scared for me
But I was there for me, no listen, I don't think y'all was hearing me
The little boy that cries, he's inside of me
So when you see no tears, it's all inside of me
Just like it's hard to tell, this is hard to tell
But I have lost my grip, I think I'm losing it
Been going through some shit, it's like I'm used to it
Just to numb the pain, I would hold it in
But wasn't numbing shit, was feeling all of it
What's the cause of this
I must find the closure
I must find the closure
I must find the closure
