Dear Dad, the class began, hands were held and arms were open/ Moments stolen from the globe and life's blood was always spoken/ One was chosen for another. Broke my will against your wisdom/ Pushed my face towards the light so I could cultivate the vision/ Made decisions for the unit. Hard times, you moved us through it/ By each word and every movement, you're the one who showed me what truth is/ Thanks for the blueprint passed down. I'll grip it by the cover/ Plus you showed me how to love my wife by the way you treat my mother/ And Mom, you sacrificed your body, scarred beneath the weight/ To usher my soul into the universe, human contact, you were first/ Through the worst I had to offer, caught His mercy in your stare/ You were there. Patched my wounds an protected me with your prayers/ Gave me food when I was hungry. Gave me love when I was empty/ Gave me a look of knowing solitude when I said where God would send me/ Thanks for the days and the nights, the laughter and the fights/ Teaching me wrong from right, Mom, the first woman in my life/ To my brother, thanks for the beatdowns and the harassment/ In you I learned to express my views with heated passion/ Followed your footsteps good or bad, so please get the facts straight/ My big brother introduced me to this and gave me my first rap tape/ I watched you grow up, thrive, prosper and self destruct/ Find the jewel in circumstances that sucked but still you stuck/ A husband and a father, a brother and a son/ Kevin, I'm so proud of the man that you've become/ Pam, Jeff, Billy, Cliff, Paine, David, Terry, Chris, Ricky/ The names stick with me, the names stick with me/ SongtexteJason Lee, Ben Heaton, Josh Cleveland, Eric Sartain, Trent Gibson saw the best and the worst I've ever given/ Sintax, I'd bend back the sky and shift the balance/ I thank you for your strong mind, your friendship and your talent/ Your example to all that witness 'cause there's no ?I? in crew/ You inspire me brother 'cause I can see Christ in you/ Dust, where to start? The art's answer to my question/ Blessed from lessons together that's always led to progression/ This profession needs your genius to show cats what it's about/ You keep making the music and I'll keep running my mouth/ Playdough, Harry Krum, enough heart for every alias/ Thanks for helping me carry the torch as we take these kids/ Listener, Illtripp, Fred B, Recon/ Rabbi, Manuel, Sev Statik and Sivion/ It's on until we change the face and finish what we started/ I'm thankful that you're all a part of this/ Yeah it's on until we change expression, finish what we started/ Deepspace5, it's never stopping/ Mary, I don't have the words to get across my feelings/ I breathe a purer form of oxygen when I'm staring at your face/ I can rise above my limits and break through this vaulted ceiling/ I'm a better man today because you occupy my space/ I hit the road, you hold it down and shun the glory/ I'll be the mouthpiece for your heart and I'll tell the world our story/ Thanks for bearing our children. Thanks for sharing your life/ Thanks for saying, ?Yes,? May. Thanks for being my wife/ To my daughters and all unborn and future seeds/ I look at the world through your eyes and you always help me see/ Inspiration in your innocence and the future in your face/ I write these songs so I can make your world a better place/ And that's all to say that all that I am is a collection of souls/ That God has used to touch me. Changed a reflection/ Made a man from a simple stick-figure/ And if I've ever met you, then you helped Him paint the picture... (Repeat 3X) Aus Songtexte Mania
