Father - Fashawn, Exile

They say everything you go through in life makes life worth living

But if the world should end tomorrow…

I often think about that sometimes, know what I’m saying?

I’ll take the pain and the strife

I know it’s not in vain

And struggle relate to everything in this life

I’m maintaining became a beam of light for the youth in the streets

Intertwining with goons never complaining cuz its all written

Don’t be bitter we all sinners

Lusting for the good life, some hearts cold as December

Hiding behind stripes and stars Father forgive um

Earth out of her mind look what she had to witness

I talk to her at times she tell me what’s on her heart

I tell her what’s on my mind

Momma where do I start?

Why everybody divided?

Why people afraid to die?

She told me «talk to ya Father, he’s in the sky.»

Father why everybody complaining bout what they got?

Ungrateful, they don’t see what you gave um?

Make a lump sum of money start to thinking they made it

He said if you pay attention to the weather I’m jaded

It could be mid July and I feel like raining

Any day of the year I shed a tear Poppa amazing

One drop could flood the block there’s no one greater

And that’s why I live in the sky

No lie, I’m fly, defy gravity, I reply damn

It’s like you only show yourself to the wise

I know why you won’t let me come home

Left me here on my own cuz I ain’t doing my job so you just letting me roam

He responded «correct» go home to my mom I’m vexed

She the reason for my drama and stress, you seem to love her

Remember though, she the present but I’m forever

Won’t be long till you see us together I replied until than…

Now if the world should end tomorrow, Lord have mercy on me

And if the sky should fall and the walls come tumbling down, tumbling down

Now if the world should end tomorrow, Lord have mercy on me

And if the sky should fall and the walls come tumbling down, tumbling down

Then that’s what its gonna be

Then that’s what its gonna be
