dr0op - father's footsteps كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i don’t ever remember my father missing a day of work
every morning in the kitchen he’s fixing up a cup of coffee (he says it fills him up)
and either i’m just that gullible or lost my noonchi
never did i set an alarm to hug him goodbye and tell him to drive safely
5 am i could hear the door shut behind him in december and me not praying for his safety
started with his father’s cadillac and then a ’93 corolla
thought it was too dangerous so he swiped his card the ’03 civic he wanted my mother to own her
for five days a week twelvе hours a day he’d do this, never muttеring a complaint from his two lips
in the fifth grade i asked for a n64; the boys at church called me spoiled
and even if my eyes were getting worse the joy on my face was painted by his toil and sweat
behind the heat and the oil of the grill he was best at
cooking for a salad bar, respected as the head chef
never beat him in a chess match, because he’d lose on purpose
and from him i learned this valuable lesson that if you put others first then everything falls into place
trust him at your service and that i’m called by his grace

[verse 2]
so the man with perfect attendance stressed the importance of not being late
i’ve been fired by 5 restaurants and i’m still eating off his plates
what dead weight i must’ve been, to lie to his face when i’d tell him that i was “at a friend’s place watching movies”
when i was losing my tips that i made that day
shipping it in large pots of chips
because of a horrible poker face, when i bluffed the sharks re_popped and flipped
and even though he knew the difference between white and half true
he put his faith in god and prayed for me to return
even if it’s past due, again in ’01 he took me to tysons for an xbox the day it released
i’m at the game stop feeling guilty like dad, “i think compusa does it for cheap?”
so we leave to find the one down the street and i’m still wondering if this console is something that i’ll need from this man who looks exhausted
and the callouses on his feet is proof, i want to walk in my father’s footsteps as i’m also a piece of you
