This Good Day

Dear dad, I wrote you but you still ain’t callin

Life will be different, but I’ll move on, even if I’m crawling

But I’m bawlin my eyes out, cause you’re gone, and I’m fallin

Fallin into fear, wanting to scream out, but my voice is stalling

I’m stuck in a fantasy world, I keep saying it’s not true

But it is, but you can go see your parents and peter too

It was too soon, I feel lost without you

You never taught me how to shave, or anything a man can do

So let me cry look into the sky right into my father’s eyes through the demise I see them shine down on me, wiping my tears telling me it’ll be alright so goodbye but you’ll forever reside in my heart and mind

I was adopted but I love my parents:you and mom

And our love exploded and eroded pain, like an bomb

Let’s blast away heaven and earth, death and birth, and create love so amazing that “bye” is not a word

It’s three in the morning, but are you feeling well?

I know I just wrote you, but I’m just not trying to dwell

On what’s happened, but all my friends are here for me

I know you’re watching, so I’ll smile and be happyJust for you father, cause I know that’s you would want

I know you’re free now, relaxed and nonchalant

So I’ll strand strong, and not let this get this best of me

By the way, now have you found out who assinated Kennedy?

That was your passion, and your life’s work

So much research put into it, i would’ve gone beserk

I respect you so much father, I hope you know that

I know you don’t like rap, but I wanted you to hear this track

Music can touch the heart and soul, so I hope it’ll touch yours

Cause this is my way of mourning, but my resolve is sure

I’m glad my last words were “night dad I love you”

Cause it was true, I love you, I know you love me too

Dad, please rest in peace

I’ll take care of mom and rina, just protect me

You were a strong man, help me mentally

I need your nagging now more than ever, to find the strength in me

But I feel your love, so I can still rise and succeed

So please help Mom, cause she’s been crying

25 years together, isn’t it almost your anniversary?

That’ll be hard on her, but I’ll protect her till the pain recedes

I’ll miss you saying hi to me every morning

I’ll do my best to carry on your legacy, even though I’m fifteen

It’s time to go now dad, so i’ll say this

I love you, your son forever, Love Chris.
