Shai Linne - Happy Father's Day lyrics

"Gimme a D!" "D!" "Gimme an A!" "A!"
"Gimme a D!" "D!" "Gimme a D!" "D!"
"Gimme a Y!" "Y!"
"What's that spell?" "Daddy!"
"What's that spell?" "Daddy!"
"What's that spell?" "Daddy!"

I don't know how to start this and
I’m supposed to be an artist
This topic is the
Hardest- I guess it’s just catharsis
Emotions trapped in silence locked deep
In my heart contemplating unseen forces that
Keep us apart
It feels so cliche- absentee father
Abandoned me yonder- that has to leave trauma
But this is kind of different
Not your typical case
Because even as a kid I remember your face
You and mom never married and I
Wonder: Was it scary when
You found out that it was your
Child that she was carrying?
My mother thought that y’all
Would last forever alas! However
Your love got smashed and severed
But now you’re left with me
I’m your destiny and legacy
The same pedigree yet we live separately
Memories locked away so many things
I got to say but first I just wanted to wish
You a Happy Father’s Day

I love my daddy, my daddy loves me
He makes me as happy as can be
How do I spell my favorite guy?
I spell it D-A-D-D-Y
How do I spell my favorite guy?
I spell it D-A-D-D-Y i spell it D-A-D-D-Y

Sitting by the window waiting for
Your car to arrive i wasn’t scarred
I was five- you were a star in my eyes
You would pick me up
Here we go- familiar scenario
Cartoons, cheerios, Luther on your stereo
Too young to understand weekend visitations
But when you dropped me off
I could see the limitations
You and mom had worked it
Out without the courts and every two weeks
You dropped off child support
As an adolescent I remember
Us having sessions
Of laughter, jesting, chess
And practical lessons
That was a blessing- I’m guessing the
Long and short of it
Is that the little that I got made
Me long for more of it looking back
I can see times I would silently
Wonder why is He not excited to
Spend some time with me?
For us to get together
Usually I’d have to call you
At times you would make plans with
Me and they would fall through
Time passed- no longer a kid, but in my teens
Relating to that Fresh Prince
Scene with Ben Vereen
And as I got older, my heart got colder
Carrying the weight of your
Absence on my shoulders
Wishing you weren’t distant
So much bitterness then
My whole life switched when
I became a Christian
So many memories locked away but for now
All I gotta say is Happy Father’s Day

I love my daddy, my daddy loves me
He makes me as happy as can be
How do I spell my favorite guy?
I spell it D-A-D-D-Y
How do I spell my favorite guy?
I spell it D-A-D-D-Y i spell it D-A-D-D-Y

Through divine election
I received a blessing
Discovered that I now had a
Father who was in heaven
After I was saved through the
Gospel and made new
I came to your crib to let
You know that I forgave you
It wasn’t what I hoped for-
You didn’t shed a tear
Didn’t see you again for another seven years
My life at that point
I can’t recall a lot off the top
But time stood still when I saw
You at that coffee shop
It was clearer the end of
Your days was getting nearer
You said looking at me was
Like staring into a mirror
Since then I see you
Here and there-get togethers, funerals
The times you crossed my mind
I can’t count the numerals
I’m married now and got three
Children of my own
Not sure if by their grandfather
They’ll ever be known
Do you have regrets? Do you
Wonder what could have been?
Do you feel guilt about the father
That you should have been?
I know you just did to me
What your father did to you
But through Jesus Christ, Dad
You can find forgiveness too!
One day we’ll all have to
Stand before the Lord
The payment for sin is a
Price we can’t afford
Our frailty and flaws, failures and loss
Was all laid on Christ when they
Nailed Him to the cross
And that’s a lot to say
Just know to God I pray
That you would follow His way
And know the Father today!

I love my Daddy, my Daddy loves me
He sent Jesus to die on the tree
How do I spell my Daddy is the best?
I spell it J-E-S-U-S
How do I spell my Daddy is the best?
I spell it J-E-S-U-S i spell it J-E-S-U-S
