Dear Jacob
I won't take up too much
of you time
I know you're trying to get your video
game- grind on
And that's fine
to empty my face
Before I hit the road again to go
and win this paper chase
I'm proud of you man
You're growing up to be the best
man that you possibly can
Why I go out of town
I also know my days are colder
when you're not around
to be adapted to the fact
That daddy never lived
inside the same shack
in my stomach's pit
It's what I get
I'm convinced it's my punishment
and let go at some bar
In some city with some
people I don't know
on your face
Reminded me of the days before
the dagonflies escaped
pick up all my traits
From the way that you spit
to the fists that you make
Am
C
I watch the way you try
to keep your mom happy
Daddy learned that from you
You're supposed to learn that from daddy
it comes to women
I drive safe and slow but don't
know nothing 'bout the engine
Am
C
You're doing good little man
that's all I really meant
I love you
You're my best friend,
thanks for listening
Em
Verse 2
C
[Verse 2]
What up bones? How it goes?
Yeah, me? Well, you know,
you know, same old, same old
C
Am
Sorry that the phone calls
Just been runnin' around
the globe tryin' to do my thing
a little too fast
And sometimes I go to
sleep a little too trashed
on enough cash
And other times today feels
too much like the past
watch y'all fight
A child wonderin'
Why your life just ain't alright?
Why's it in my house?
And even the memories
Yeah, I got some issues in my head
Knew we should've started fixing
'em back when she left you
Am
C
I'm not trying to get you down,
I know you're different now
But your little man justs wants
you to listen now
Em
I'm over thirty, can't maintain relations
All these women wanna hurt me and
I just don't have the patience
Am
C
I can't trust 'em
And they're not much help
When they start to push and pull
What pride, fists,
and words just might do?
I'm afraid of my fate,
don't wanna turn out like you
I won't do coke
And for that alone I love you and I wanna
thank you old man
Em
Verse 3
C
[Verse 3]
What's goin' on?
Not much to say
Just checkin' in wit'cha trying
to see what's wrong today
kickin' your bruises
How's the love? How's the music?
Got a lot to lose,
it's breakin' your shoulders
So you let your paranoia place
Too many cigarettes,
Am
C
messin' up your voice
Too many arguments,
tryin' to test your poise
you are fans and family
Mom has no choice,
but fans leave you randomly
In any location
You're not ready to face that you
have no steady vocation
your raps are exhausted
Stop it, everybody knows
that you've lost it
Am
C
Singin' for these kids you don't know
When you should be at home with your own
instead you're on your telephone
against the world
Another drunk hotel bedroom corner,
Place him back in time before the
Reaganomics and Adidas
with the work you've done
And love isn't love if
you didn't hurt someone
Your dad says, "what's up?"
And me, I wanna thank you, but I won't,
Outro 1
I'll just say, "Good luck."
