Faheem

I gave you that name, boy...
I will never stop feelin sorry that your home got broken
I feel that I owe you for the road that I chose
But I believe things happen the way theyre supposed to
And youll always be with me wherever that I go
I was right there for your first breath
I used to lay you on my chest when you slept
I fed you, changed you, read to you, bathed you,
Im not trying to hold that over your head,
Im saying thank you
God put you into my arms for me to teach you
Sometimes I gotta not be popular to reach you
But boy look me in my eye when I speak to you
I tell you these things because I believe in you
Respect, patience, excellence, and truth
Make good choices and always follow through
But above all else know Allah always watch us
And Everything we do comes back upon us
Alright, lets talk about your mommy
I need you to know that I used everything inside of me
To make you as healthy as you could possibly be
And I just couldnt see a good future for us three
And you gonna have questions as you grow
But theres certain negative things that you dont need to know
And baby boy thats what this is about
We live, learn, and figure it out
I just pray that you dont remember us sleepin on the floor
And me cleanin mouse droppings out of your toys
It took alot of hard work for us to get where we at
And young man, we aint quittin at that
Just know that it hurts me to death when I leave and go tourin
Im scared that it might make you feel unimportant
But our bond is so strong that the moment I get off
We seem to pick right back up where we left off
I try to say that I do it for you
But in my heart I know thats not entirely true
So if I ever come home and feel that Ive hurt us as friends
I swear to God that Ill never tour again
I aint never met a child quite like you
Words dont suffice for me to describe you
You have a genuine goodness inside you
I watch you and wonder if I was ever like you
Its me and you, brother, for life
So when you put me in the ground, look for me in the clouds
You make me the definition of proud
You taught me what this life is really about
Faheem...
