nathan ‘innate’ jackson – ‘a farther’s love’ lyrics
(verse 1)
you took a kid that wasn’t even your own
but supplied with what he needed and that was love
you watched him grow, from a small boy to a teen
put clothes on his back, food on the table to eat
but it wasn’t just the materialistic things you provided
you taught him how to be integral, never boast or have pride
and though he messed up, still your confidence never faded
you showed him ways to avoid the mistakes you made
and as he grew up. yeah, you became
more, apart of his life and even helped him to change
you deserve the credit for the boy you helped raised
without shadow of a doubt i believe it’s safe to say
god put you in his life it was meant to be this way
he could have been a kid without a stable father in place
such emotion and affection when you hear him say
dad i love and ain’t n0body can take that away, because
(chorus)
i gotta thank my pops, i gotta give him props
an example of greatness, you gave it all you got
although you stumbled sometimes, still you never stopped
you put your heart into surely taking care of your flock
i gotta thank my pops, i gotta give him props
you’ve stayed true and have always been right there from the start
so i salute, this songs for you
that’s why i’m giving honor to whom honor is due
(verse 2)
i heard them say that our fathers shape who we become
from the wisdom that they provide, with sk!ll to overcome
discipline to correct, confidence they inject
amongst other qualities that a son should never forget
like, in 2007 when our course looked bleak, we were weak
yet still you had the courage to dream
though at the time, it seemed like we’d never be free
you reminded the family to never loose our belief
and you always stated that knowledge is key
so don’t be satisfied with what you know, be the best you can be
when life turns up the heat, gives you a couple knocks
pull up your socks and put your trust in god
now i’m approaching 25, i’m becoming my own man
i still find it a privilege that i can call you my dad
and after all we’ve been through, i’m your biggest supporter
so remember, that blood ain’t always thicker than water
