Daddy why?

I remember a long time ago i was a little girl

You and mommy i looked up to yall was my world

The things you did back then i didn't understand

But im older i get it now im here to be a helping hand

You promised me you would give it up and you did

I loved you for that i looked up to you as a kid

Daddy why go so many steps back when you came so far

you overcome so much you almost conquered it all

Daddy why would you let drugs get ya joy

this is not no game they are not a toy

Daddy why give it all up so far in the game

I look in your eyes nothing is the same

your too strong to let this get u down

Since i found out i just pray so you will come around

you got through it once i know you can do it again

I know how you feel but daddy this not the end

I'm sorry for not being the son u wanted to have

But i know some parts of our lives together i made you glad

I want to blame myself but i just cant

You taught me weakness never win over a man

Daddy Why are you doing this to yourself

You never hurt you if necessary you hurt some one else

Daddy why you still have Adrianna to raise

Please just take it day by day

Daddy why would you let those that mocked you be right

Promise me this battle of life you will fight

I am here for you no matter what

I wont let you see my pain i will be tough

You make me wanna fight and at times cry

I love you no matter what but i just want to know

                   DADDY WHY?
