Brother Ali - Faheem Lyrics
I gave you that name, boy...I will never stop feelin sorry that your home got brokenI feel that I owe you for the road that I choseBut I believe things happen the way they're supposed toAnd you'll always be with me wherever that I goI was right there for your first breathI used to lay you on my chest when you sleptI fed you, changed you, read to you, bathed you,I'm not trying to hold that over your head,I'm saying thank youGod put you into my arms for me to teach youSometimes I gotta not be popular to reach youBut boy look me in my eye when I speak to youI tell you these things because I believe in youRespect, patience, excellence, and truthMake good choices and always follow throughBut above all else know Allah always watch usAnd Everything we do comes back upon usAlright, let's talk about your mommyI need you to know that I used everything inside of meTo make you as healthy as you could possibly beAnd I just couldn't see a good future for us threeAnd you gonna have questions as you growBut there's certain negative things that you don't need to knowAnd baby boy that's what this is aboutWe live, learn, and figure it outI just pray that you don't remember us sleepin on the floorAnd me cleanin mouse droppings out of your toysIt took alot of hard work for us to get where we atAnd young man, we aint quittin at thatJust know that it hurts me to death when I leave and go tourinI'm scared that it might make you feel unimportantBut our bond is so strong that the moment I get offWe seem to pick right back up where we left offI try to say that I do it for youBut in my heart I know that's not entirely trueSo if I ever come home and feel that I've hurt us as friendsI swear to God that I'll never tour againI ain't never met a child quite like youWords don't suffice for me to describe youYou have a genuine goodness inside youI watch you and wonder if I was ever like youIt's me and you, brother, for lifeSo when you put me in the ground, look for me in the cloudsYou make me the definition of proudYou taught me what this life is really aboutFaheem...
