Verse 1

Every second that past he closer to death/Got a dead man stench all over his breath/ His ex-wife to his right as I stand to his left/ And I can't read his mind, but I know he regret/ Every mistake he made cause it cost him his life/ It cost him his job then it cost him his wife/ When It cost him his family I knew that hurt/ He tried rehab, but it never did work/ Now he laying here dying, skinny as a pole/ Breathing from his mouth cause he can't from his nose/ I know he want talk, but he can't so he drove/ He couldn't even tell us that he love us,  that's cold/ So all he do is stare/ He look over here then he look over there/ The doctor say although he can't talk he could hear/ But he ain't got to speak cause his look said he care/ And

Verse 2

He got full blown AIDS/ And you could really tell it's at its full blown stage/ Cause I could barely recognize him that it's so bad/ But make no mistake that this man is my dad/ And my grandmother so strong/ She been up in this hospital all day long/ She know his time short so she reluctant to leave/ And this her second child that done had this disease/ Yea I heard what he did, I heard how he live/ I heard about the child support he never did give/ I heard about the threats that he made way back/ I heard what went down, yea I know about that, but/ God says to forgive/ He say it's required if we desire to live/ So if I'm asked do I hate I'm his Kid/ Man all I can say is it is what it is/ But

Verse 3

They say I got his nose/ My momma see my feet and she say I got his toes/ I guess I do have some features I suppose/ I know he played music, I was told that he rolled, but/ It would have felt good/ If I had a childhood like every child should/ Memories of me being taught by my father/ Pictures with mom, dad, son, and daughter/ Son pay attention, hey son listen/ Son you could do it , those words went missing/ If I have a son you gon' see a big difference/ Son didn't your momma tell you go and wash the dishes/ Yea that kind of got a ring/ But I'm gon' be a good dad, that's what I gon' bring/ I'm gon' be a good man honoring the king/ But it's sad that my dad wasn't honoring a thing/ But
