[Verse 1]

Young light skinned, born ??

Since I was 10 probably name all the trouble I did

Neva participated, I'm like "fuck all them other kids"

Like I don't owe you child shit when I make it big

But a little respect, fuck y'all though what do you expect

Never raised a gentlemen like Ne-Yo said

Lookin for hero heads, but I don't see none yet

All my friends, weed & cigarettes so I take a hit

*cough cough*, That's some potent shit oh there go police man

I ain't scared of shit, but hell yeah I ran

Lost my money clip ever since wrap rubberbands

Biggity bam, did a couple of scams, made a couple of grands

Fast forward to the Ford Escort, I ball with it

Too quick 14 no license, that's some awful full shit

Now must stack ketchup like condiments

Kinda just wish you taught me how to be a man

[Hook]

Growin up all I wanted was a father figure

Me & mom alone every dinner

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

If I sent my dad letters

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter

[Verse 2]

Word is, 10th grade kick out the crib

Like where I go from here, lucky I had a girlfriend

Remember money make the world spin

Runnin around the big body benz wonderin who in this

Thats pedestrian, spoiled kid, never that

Worked too hard to get where I'm at, thinking fuck school

But next semester I be back, I hated rules

But ruling the world I often dream of that, dream of meetin you dad

Moms really getting mad when I call you that

I don't understand , your phone numbers all I ask

She laughs with her jaw dropped like the movie Mask

Damn so I then reply resort to raising my own little man

But I'm too young for that, wait I take that back

I shoulda used the hat, my girl gettin fat

Whatever results make sure that

I'll be there like you wasn't dad

[Hook]

Growin up all I wanted was a father figure

Me & mom alone every dinner

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

If I sent my dad letters

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter

[Verse 3]

Double 09 lately really its been on my mind

The pain eatin me alive one verse at a time

And this heart problem ain't helpin at all

Its a cardiac diagnose, just wanna stay at home

Dying slow so I bought a fast car, and a couple of charms

Now family and old friends wanna be involved

Some nigga tryna marry mom he like my songs

I find it odd sometimes wanna fucking shoot his head off

Am in the wrong, didn't think so moving on

Im working on my new album if you singing songs

But rap is what I does, turnin 20 soon

Then 21 then 22 like Emmitt was

Everybody sleeping on me time to wake em up

(wake, wake, wake em up, wake, wake, wake em up)

Now everybody chasing us like they missed the bus

And girls wanna roll like a blunt, P.S. your only son

[Hook]

Growin up all I wanted was a father figure

Me & mom alone every dinner

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

If I sent my dad letters

This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters

One day I hope you hear this I pray you doin better

This what it sound like if I sent my dad a letter
