Advice From Dad Lyrics

I remember it well

November fifth 2005 to be exact

I was sleepin when your granny knocked wake up it's time it's Jazz

But the excitement and surprise completely fried my senses bad

I got in the car to ride to see Mariahs entrance wrapped

Walkin up brought out a lot of shit inside I bottled up

Mom and I were not entirely alright but not a fuck

Was given as I saw the sweetest face that night all swaddled up

Saw it from a fathers eyes and god it's peace was honest love

And I'm chokin up while writin this

I hope you grow to see that gorgeous free enlightenment

That morning I brought formula my soul completely brightened when

You smiled as I was holding you

That's more to me than life can get

And I'll never say I'm perfect

But whatever need you ever see forever we can work it

Between your mom and me there's honestly

The best to ever surface

And a debt to be that flawless team til death will be the purpose

And Mariah

Aim to be whatever you desire

Don't ever think you're less than equal

Never be a liar

Always seek the things you see

Whenever it inspires

Cuz anyone and everything's

A lesson we inquired

So kiss that boy and go and dance

Don't sit back coy enjoy the chance

Take risks, be poised and go and laugh

Don't miss me if my soul has passed

Cuz I'm always with you know he's glad

To be here walkin with you on this road life leads a roaming path

Cuz I love your life and it's glowing cast

Me the only light i need to lead me to control he's lacked

And I'll help you keep your goals in tact

Show you what's important and clean up the mess you know is bad

Cuz forever seemed had only passed

I'd never see you growing was the sight that seemed to hold me back

But how everything had broken bad

Changed and now with every day we make and mold the home we have

My baby life is rad

It's lame as shit

It's tight and sad

But this life is that…

Anything it is

This is just advice from dad

So let your soul stay bright and glad

Cuz Change and death are all that's promised in this life in fact

And I'm never gonna try to track

Smother you with rules

Or make you have to think to lie to dad

Cuz it could only lead to heights the wrath

Of going out ignoring phone calls

Zoning out all night can have

Cuz before we know it life is back

Staring in your face and I don't ever want to fight with that

Cuz I know I'm nice and liked and laxed

And that's cuz I have known and shown the inside out of life entrapped

Cuz I'll never be contrite with stats

Of showing you the best that I can show

In the advice from dad

Priceless like the life you have

So make the best

Go fight and scrap
