Heavenly Father

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo Yeah [Chorus] Heavenly Father I need some direction in my life Heavenly Father I apologize, I'm just trying to make things right Heavenly Father, I never had a father down here to show me how Right now, right now, right now Right now, I need you right now, I need you, right now [Verse 1] How could I just send them away (I miss my daughters, man) The question is what kind of daddy? (For real) Could just put them on a plane When I promised I would stay with them forever till the end of my days (my decisions) I deserve to be shot in my chest Tryna put it back together like A Tribe Called Quest (Yes) Deep down in the depths of my spirit I can feel it They will never quite forgive it, they thought Daddy was perfect (nope) I had to make the time worth it That's why as an artist and a man I have finally scratched the surface (ok) Twelve years straight with my babies I even left the business just to raise my little ladies (that's crazy) Life had me burnt out Sorry I couldn't stay with your mom, it just couldn't work out (uh-uh) When she left us all alone and it was just us three I had to send you to my mama to work, I'm sorry [Chorus] Heavenly Father I need some direction in my life Heavenly Father I apologize, I'm just trying to make things right Heavenly Father, I never had a father down here to show me how Right now, right now, right now Right now, I need you right now, I need you, right now [Verse 2] It should have never got this far but it did (uh-uh) I got feelings for you, are you sure you wanna have this kid? (Come on) It's already growing in your tummy And you're so beautiful, but do not say you love me (do not) That was the deal when I started falling for you You had already fallen for me, I swear I never knew (At all) In hindsight I'm probably a fool not to notice Too busy rapped up in this showbiz, plus you was his (yeah) But when he went away to do his bid and didn't even write you You called me for advices (Why?) You called me to put money on his books He was my man so of course, I just ignored your looks (completely) Now my mind's ruined you're such a woman I got attracted to your movements, I'm so wrong To my homie when you hear this song, you're right to hate me I call your girl Mommy 'cause she having my baby (What have I done?) [Chorus] Heavenly Father I need some direction in my life Heavenly Father I apologize, I'm just trying to make things right Heavenly Father, I never had a father down here to show me how Right now, right now, right now Right now, I need you right now, I need you, right now (yo) [Verse 3] You cut your hand, I cut my hand, that Indian tradition Momma threw me out the crib, you gave a place to live in I gave you empty promises, the streets gave you drugs We was blood brothers and shit, I just turned my back and run I couldn't deal with seeing you so strung-out (Nope) Giving you money killed you slow, I see that now (Yeah) I ain't even been back to the hood in quite a while Soon as my plane touched down I find it hard to smile (Uh) You fathered a child, that's my goddaughter, Jesus! She's so big and pretty you wouldn't believe this How she get a raspy voice just like yours How you crash and flip three times in that Honda accord (How?) You was high out of your mind on dust and weed Police lights flashing behind you as you speed Memories of us rolling pennies Just to get to NYC on the train to get a deal for me (See) It was your decision to go a different way I think about it every day, but now your mind gone Can't talk and you breathing on life support As I pull the cord, I'm asking the lord (God forgive me) [Chorus] Heavenly Father I need some direction in my life Heavenly Father I apologize, I'm just trying to make things right Heavenly Father, I never had a father down here to show me how Right now, right now, right now Right now, I need you right now, I need you, right now
