Craig Rip - Father's Day lyrics

[Chorus] Life is a wheel and in this circle [Verse 1: Hasan Salaam] When I was young with a pad and a pencil I grew and drew you as the example of the evil that men do Said to your only sun he wouldn't be sh** And I've spent most of my life really believing that sh** Now I wonder how I could've been deceived that quick Cause up until that point you ain't teach me sh** I guess you ain't consider raising up a half a n***a Unable to relate to the world at odds with yah Had to rip your face out a couple of family pictures Moms doing alright you know she ain't bitter She even told me to take the time to sit and build with yah But it's been a minute pops the f** been up with yah? [Chorus] Life is a wheel and in this circle [Verse 2: Hasan Salaam] Like father like sun same temper and all Similar downfalls drowned out in alcohol Round the time I got involved with the yes yes y'all I caught a vision and listened to the Adhans call Of course I wanted to know what you thought of it all But instead of healing wounds you chose to throw me salt Which brought our interactions to immediate halt I remember hitting heavy bags waiting to square off Wondering the thought that brought y'all to pair off Were you truly loves deepest believer Or were you just pa**ed down the lust of the master and overseer That left you struck with a severe case of jungle fever See the illest thing that these eyes done seen Was the klan raping a sister in your p**n magazine That's some impossible sh** to wipe clean Like I was just the mistake of your wildest wet dream Seemed at some points you wasn't willing to deal Treated like the black sheep of your family for real Like race wasn't an issue until truth was revealed And I was accused of taking sh** I wouldn't have to steal That's some ill sh** to have on your mind at 9 Kind of hard to be color blind when I'm hated for mine But all of that never seemed to tarnish my shine Till shorty said she was pregnant and swore it was mine But that marriage ended in miscarriage More weight for the scales that tipped me to savage Me and Moms started going at it over everything Disrespecting her home Me thinking I'm grown Like why bother I could father myself on my own It's against the laws of nature but through time it's shown No matter how wise or concrete my mother was planned No woman by herself should have to raise no man Especially 1 driven with a heart full of hate All the fighting used to make her say she saw you in my face So I'm guessing its fate that brought me here to take care of yah Life in Black & White gotta be some grey area Your sickness impairing yah Barely able to walk on your own and just think I used to be scared of yah But that's what makes all of this that much harder Cause Allah always said honor thy Mother and Father [Chorus] Life is a wheel and in this circle
