[hook]

william
your presence fills me up with such brilliance
if i didn’t tell you how you made me feel strong
then all of this would just feel real wrong
so this is your song

[verse 1]

hey dad, i hope things are doing well for you
i’m still busy looking for ways to pay my dues
for everything you did to make me who i am
as i grew from a young boy to a young man
i sometimes wonder if i ever cross your mind
i still remember when i first impressed you with my rhymes
i have so many fond memories of you
and all the things that we both used to do

i know we don’t talk as much as we used to
but there’s a lot of things that we gotta push through
but i feel as though it’s been way too long
so i thought i’d dedicate you this little song
other fathers could’ve left, but you stuck around
making sure both my feet were on solid ground
and i swear this love from me’s authenticated
i want you to know right now, you are appreciated

[hook]

[verse 2]

i understand that sometimes life isn’t fair
someone close can be taken from you without a care
and even though you may be so far away
i know i can talk to you any given day
you were there when it seemed my life was going to h-ll
still got the video from christmas 2012
you sometimes found my wicked ways rather strange
we disagreed at times, but your love never changed

sometimes i’m lazy, sometimes i’m slow
sometimes i’m crazy, maybe i know
but i hope to make tracks that we’ll both know
sailin’ down ol’ man river like a show boat
and i know there’s plenty love that you wanna give
so i don’t wanna miss a thing like i’m areosmith
but now, i hope you’re playing this song loud
and i hope with all this, that i’m making you proud

[hook]

[verse 3]

now you’re looking after your garden every day
spending your spare time playing video games
i’m glad you filled up your strong heart’s desire
i hope i can do the same thing once i retire
your brutal honesty sometimes makes me feel less than great
but in the end, i know you’re doing it for my sake
and you’d call me out if i made wrong choices
it’s also pleasant hearing you and cleo’s voices

even when there’s a little tension in the air
i know too d-mn well that for her, you care
as a father, i’m telling you, you are d-mn great!
even if i got disgusted ’bout your past mistakes
and i can easily take them and go on and on
but i’d rather let those bygones be bygones
so the message i’m trying to say with what i spat;
i love you dad, i’m not ashamed to admit that

[hook]
