Father, Do Not Let That Cape Fall Off
Father, don't ever let that cape fall off...
Vivid dreams...lucid dreams
Forever Wondering of what could've been
Had u taken the time to allow ur fatherly side to be...
Father I wish u could've stayed...
For this I strongly prayed...
Stayed and watched her blossom instead of running off until ur shoes had no bottom
You could've stayed and protected her instead of watching her be plagued...
Plagued by the disease of growing up without her father and letting men make her belief she had no other...
You are the one that opened up the door to the violence she suffers in silence.
You were meant to be her hero but instead ended up being drawn to the iron streets like Magnito,
Father wake up,
Sit up, step up, and beef up on that love you have inside...
For your daughter in you, she shall forever reside.
Quick, soul search before she leaves forever in that hearse...
Reveal that side, that they call soft...father don't let that cape fall off.
