K-Rino - Long Lost Daddy lyrics
[K-Rino - Long Lost Daddy lyrics]
Every person has a void that
Needs to be filled
A reason for he or she to live
And you'll know it when it's revealed
I took a walk and sat down in
The park on a cool day
Relaxing tryna clear my mind and
Meditate all my stress away
I noticed this individual walking
In my directin i felt a strange connection
He seemed to be a much younger reflection
Of someone that I know well
But, I thought well
Maybe I'm just tripping but as he came
Closer and approached my heart fell
He said, 'Excuse me sir
Not tryna throw you for a loop
And although you might not have a clue of
Who I am I think I know you
Would you happen to know a lady named Evelyn
Whose family moved from Arizona to Texas
Back in the summer of '87
When you was a teenager?' "yeah, I know her
I'm admitting that
But what's your point young homie just
Tell me what you're getting at" 'Well sir
No disrespect and I hate to be a bother
But, if the research that I've done's correct
Then I think that you're my father'
No more staring, where you been all my life
It's been so many years with you by my side
And if I saw you
I'll probably break down and cry
I'd do anything just to make things right
Yeah
Look here little man
I'd understand if your daddy
Stuck you out cold
It was probably hard on your mama
In a single parent household
But, I'm sorry and I'ma be straight
Up with you no bad intentions
Me and your momma did mess around but
See a child was never mentioned
Well on the cool my mama's married
So this might sound crazy
But amazingly my stepdad raised me
Since I was a baby
And for years my mama made me
Believe that he had made me
So imagine how I felt to know they had
Know that they had played and betrayed me
Well let me ask you
What makes you so sure it's
Me? Well I'll tell you
I found one of my baby pictures in
A letter she never mailed you
So seeking you out was something
That I needed to do
Here's the note, read it it's true
She was engaged to him but
She cheated wiht you
Ooh, and she couldn't reveal to
Him you wasn't his 'Cause if she did that
That 20 year marriage wouldn't be what it is
Yeah and I love my mama
She raised me well and made me strong minded
But once I knew that a part of my
Life was missing I had to find it
No more staring, where you been all my life
It's been so many years with you by my side
And if I saw you
I'll probably break down and cry
I'd do anything just to make things right
Yeah
I promise you I never knew back then
'cause when the summer came to an end
She left and I never heard from her again
Did you let them know that
You know the truth?
See, news like this could blow
The roof off of
The whole family especially once
You show the proof
Oh yeah, the whole truth came out
See we've been back in town
For 7 years and she
Said this is where you used to hang out
I've been wanting to say
These words for weeks
I've been up here 4 or 5 times but see
Today I finally built the nerve to speak
Well the chance I might not be
Is what's concerning me the most
The part I can't permantly devote
'til I see paternity resuts
And if it's true
You welcome to come throught and we can
Do what fathers and sons do
Just know that I'm not tryna
Get nothing from you
Well that's cool even though you saying that
I know this had to be hard to go through
So regardles if it's true I still owe you
I appreciate your understanding and I
Won't be forgetting this it's all good
Well I gues we need to go handle our business
Let's go
No more staring, where you been all my life
It's been so many years with you by my side
And if I saw you
I'll probably break down and cry
I'd do anything just to make things right
Yeah
