Letter To My Pops
[Verse 1: Don P]
I know you put it on the line, if not id be lyin
I tend to focus on the bad, but let me thnak you one time
There was a time, when i wasn't really focused on tryin
They tried to clip my wings... you had hope... and now im flyin
I remember way back, 2E, second floor
Console tv on the floor, nice lady nextdoor
Used to give me different things that she got from the store
And until I was told, I didn't know I was poor
When you took me out to eat, got a pop and nothin more
Like Dad ain't you hungry?? sayin no, while your stomach roar
I guess he ate before... Didn't really think it over
Didn't really understand, not until I got older
Now im older.. you never gonna skip a meal!!
God willin.. never worry about a bill!!
You sons bright... never worry bout the light
Never worry about a thing.. you raised me right

[Hook: Don P]
Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right
And we didn't have it all.. still you raised me right..
Everything that you taught me really saved my life
So let me thank you one time, you raised me right
Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right
And we didn't have it all.. still you raised me right..
Everything that you taught me really saved my life
So let me thank you one time, you raised me right
[Verse 2: Don P]
By the age of 15, i was whilin on the low
With the older kids, always down to roll
Sneakin out my window... pops didn't know
Till the cops called his phone, told um take me home
He came and got me... barely even said a word
I guess why repeat something, I already heard
Bullet holes, broken windows, all from the dirt
I need ta give a damn, before my fam get hurt
Plus all the lil ones watchin, need to see a different option
Bought everything im koppin, off of everything im droppin
Legal hustle.. nothin feels better than that
And who I was? Im trying to be better than that
This is better than rap, this is real life
From the ground, in town, now im on flights
All them long days.. turnin into long nights
Never worry about a thang... you raised me right

[Hook: Don P]
Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right
We didn't have it all.. still you raised me right..
Everything that you taught me really saved my life
So let me thank you one time, you raised me right
Even when im doing wrong, know you rasied me right
We didn't have it all.. still you raised me right..
Everything that you taught me really saved my life
So let me thank you one time, you raised me right
