Lyrics

Embedded in emotion, I'm open, hopin' whoever's Calling's all in for the low-key, it was O-M-O-Y-E I read my daughter's name slowly I'm asleep, sleepin' with the TV on Two in the morn', "Who the hell is this?" On some Biggie warn, something's wrong What's going on? You should be under covers, warm Is there a thunderstorm? Someone done you wrong? Words stumbled on, she mumbled on Something's on, oh shit, she lit, a habit she got, legit We talked a bit, truthfully I was tired, youthfully She was high with her friends, I said bye quick The phone collided with my sleep again, 3 minutes later But there's another layer, she said I didn't care She said I wasn't there when she was younger Summer tour buses wasn't enough to show what love is She said I did things that a dad doesn't and that She had questions, if I'm a good father Why all the bad judgement? I'm looking past judgement, about to ask somethin' But she was bag bustin', inside I'm mad, cussin' Inside I'm sad, dustin' off my pride, I thought that I did Protect and provide, and I'm a father, that's life What about the rides with you in the backseat? You tellin' me if it's a wack beat, I came to a few Track meets, weekend movies, I got you tickets to Lil Uzi Truly I tried, she said, "It's the things that you didn't do Not what you did," It hurt her spirit when she saw me With another woman's kid, peeled back and thought To love her I gotta listen, now love and action Is the new vision, she said "Dad, let your actions be your loudest speaker" And now my daughter is now my teacher, with love Show me that you're there, show me that you care I've been looking for you but you don't want to share I've been looking for you even over there Will you stay around this time or should I be prepared? Show me that you're there, show me how you care You like to come around here (You know actions speak louder than words, right?) Show me that you love me, show me that you care This space is feeling empty, but you don't see me there You won't feel the pain and you won't take the blame How you come around here and you just stay the same Show me that you love, show me that you care When is the time for you to pull a chair And tell me who you are and tell me you'll be there? And show up when it's hard and show me you care? Show me, show me Show me, show me, show me Show me Show me, show me, show me Show me
