| The door opened, in walked my brother
 | 
| Terrified, teary-eyed, I’m wide open
 | 
| Only to hear our father died
 | 
| It’s not true, I’m hopin'
 | 
| I need some air, I’m chokin'
 | 
| Get me off this ride, where’s life goin'?
 | 
| Feelin' I’m lost, I’m frozen
 | 
| Suspended in mid-traumatized state
 | 
| Why I’m chosen for this fate? | 
| I don’t know
 | 
| Head shakes back and forth emotional
 | 
| Unsociable, not speakin'
 | 
| Remainin' silent, cause I’m weakened
 | 
| Deep inside I’m freakin'
 | 
| Want my father back, I need him
 | 
| Why’s God cheatin'?
 | 
| Takin' half the two that gave me life
 | 
| My mind replaces thought, now no longer can I sleep at night
 | 
| Not feelin' right, insecure, now what’s my future lookin' like?
 | 
| Ain’t dealt with death before, age 11 and can’t take no more
 | 
| My hands on the floor cause my stomach’s feelin' sick and I was mad at the Lord
 | 
| Because he took him all too quick that day
 | 
| On his way to pick me up, he never made it
 | 
| Blamed it all on myself, therefore I dwelled in self-hatred
 | 
| On a path called destruct, many thought I wouldn’t make it
 | 
| I hate it, the way I feel, but I just can’t seem to shake it
 | 
| Somebody take it away, this mad situation
 | 
| My world is breakin', and I feel I’m 'bout to cave in
 | 
| I tried to take it all in
 | 
| After it all settled I couldn’t begin
 | 
| Accepting you were gone, but understood
 | 
| Hey dad, I miss you, for every day gone
 | 
| And for the rest of my life, try to remain strong
 | 
| Until we reunite, live on, your memory
 | 
| From the seeds you planted gently
 | 
| Thanks for being there for me
 | 
| And all the time you spent with me
 | 
| Love sent for me (?), if I could only have that day back
 | 
| To sit down and rap, shoot the breeze and have a chat
 | 
| But the fact still remains, still later, on the day I have to meet our maker
 | 
| I write my feelings on the paper, for now
 | 
| Along the golf course where you once played
 | 
| I see you as I drive by, I feel you like your presence is there
 | 
| I stop and I stare, I see the pictures of days we shared
 | 
| Well aware that you cared, makin' sure I was prepared for life
 | 
| The hardships, the struggles, the garbage, and the troubles
 | 
| That come with it, always kept my head lifted
 | 
| I grip it close to my heart, everthing you taught me
 | 
| My dad, my hero, you have my love for all eternity |
