Brother Ali - Faheem lyrics

rate me

Faheem

I gave you that name, boy...

I will never stop feelin sorry that your home got broken

I feel that I owe you for the road that I chose

But I believe things happen the way they're supposed to

And you'll always be with me wherever that I go

I was right there for your first breath

I used to lay you on my chest when you slept

I fed you, changed you, read to you, bathed you,

I'm not trying to hold that over your head,

I'm saying thank you

God put you into my arms for me to teach you

Sometimes I gotta not be popular to reach you

But boy look me in my eye when I speak to you

I tell you these things because I believe in you

Respect, patience, excellence, and truth

Make good choices and always follow through

But above all else know Allah always watch us

And Everything we do comes back upon us

Alright, let's talk about your mommy

I need you to know that I used everything inside of me

To make you as healthy as you could possibly be

And I just couldn't see a good future for us three

And you gonna have questions as you grow

But there's certain negative things that you don't need to know

And baby boy that's what this is about

We live, learn, and figure it out

I just pray that you don't remember us sleepin on the floor

And me cleanin mouse droppings out of your toys

It took alot of hard work for us to get where we at

And young man, we aint quittin at that

Just know that it hurts me to death when I leave and go tourin

I'm scared that it might make you feel unimportant

But our bond is so strong that the moment I get off

We seem to pick right back up where we left off

I try to say that I do it for you

But in my heart I know that's not entirely true

So if I ever come home and feel that I've hurt us as friends

I swear to God that I'll never tour again

I ain't never met a child quite like you

Words don't suffice for me to describe you

You have a genuine goodness inside you

I watch you and wonder if I was ever like you

It's me and you, brother, for life

So when you put me in the ground, look for me in the clouds

You make me the definition of proud

You taught me what this life is really about

Faheem...
