Like Father, Like Son

This is dedicated to my father, long story short, he aint my real father but he's acted like one since i was barley a year (there is even a front page news artical of his heroics for me back in 1988

(Chorus)X3
Like Father, Like Son, I wanna be just like you
i wanna take a walk in your shoe's
and i wanna thank you for all that you do

(Verse)
Dear Dad
You took me in when you didn't have to
i was mama's little bastard
and nobody even asked you
but you became involved in the matter
and for that i thank you for all that you gave me
helped me grow to be a man
plus the fact that you saved me
other's don't really understand
the story between us, father and son
what i mean is, how far it would come
when that man tried to take me away and you gave chase
you aint just a father to me, you became a saving grace
you took me outta hell and put me in amazing place
gave me a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear
and you was there when i thought no one cared
and truth is i could never put anyone above you
this song is for you, dear dad i love you

(Chorus)

(Verse)
To be honest when i was little i was a bitter child
causin a ruckus i was little wild
and it was cuz i thought was just like you
but if i was just like you than i woulda knew
the path i was on was wrong and i wouldn't have done
alot of the things i did as a kid - man i was dumb
but you never gave up, you took me under your wing
with no story made up, you showed me what that trouble could bring
and i know you aint my real father, but your closer than the real thing
26 years in my life and you been there thru every change
helped me grow into who i am, and taught me to be strong
your love is somethin i never forget, memories that will never be gone
So to thank you for being there for family i had to write you this song

(Chorus)

(Verse)
Alot of things i learned in life was cuz of you
my strenght and respect, and my loyalty to stay true
never give up when things get hard you gotta fight
keep your vision in line and never lose sight
when mom left, i admit i was scared
but thats another pain that we share
we grin and we bare
breath in and we dare
to take the battle right to the line
face to face with disaster and in time
defeat the enemy with energy from the mind
our soul can never be broken, we never stray from the path
and dear dad, i have to thank you for all that i have

(Chorus)

Your mother on the other hand...

LOL!

Touching piece!

Flow was on-point, technical aspect weren't lacking, good hidden poetic elements...

my mother gets a hatchet smashed in her chest on my album, if only it was legal to do in real life, lmao

It must be comforting knowing that you at least had SOME level of stability in your youth.
