Just heard the news that my grandpa just died
Man it had hurt me to know that, even hear my grandmother cry
Gone forever and never coming back
Just the thought of it threw me way off track
Seeming like a dream putting reality at pause
Fantasizing about how it was before, wanting to blame God this is your fault
But no it isn't grandpa your calling was near
Your time had come there wasn't enough time for fear
All the aching and pain several bottles of medication
In and out of hospitals, unsure if you would make it
Farewell Datt Daddy the nickname we your fellow grandchildren gave you
Grandpa wasn't even the name, Datt Daddy was all we knew
Mesmerizing on the old days you would always help us, please Datt Daddy always came through no matter what it was
From walking us to the corner store, to whooping our butts
To cooking us good home cooked meals, always making sure we were stuffed
Through all I've personally been through you never judged me
For anything you always wished me the best, and you would always let me be
Knabby ... Knabby was what I went by
The name you gave me because I had a lot of hair, considering I always stayed fly
Your spirit is surrounding us watching over every little thing we do
This was a wake up call in a way , not looking at this as a tragedy
Glad your in a better place now, glad .... man am I happy
No more stress, no more pain
No more crying, now you can rest
Peacefully drifting into a better era
Datt Daddy we all love and miss you R.I.P Forever
