Father's day all ready?!
I guess you want a gift
I've lied to you for 17 years
This year the truth is what you'll get

[Dear Pops:]

Daddy you're my soul,
the deepest part of me
It always hasn't been this way
though at times you couldn't see
I loved you with all my heart
despite the times you pushed me away
I wanted to protest
but my spotless image of you pushed back what i wanted to say
Do you remember the time I stood there yellin
Called your bitch a gold diggin hoe
Told you what she was all about...

- - -That skeezer had to go... - - -

Instead you turned your back on me,
Expected me not to walk away
Face it pops
I'm not gonna search for love you've already given away

And what about the phone calls
Promising me quality time
If somethin else came up you dropped me quicker than a seeing-eye dog who was blind
It's coo though
It's nothin'
I'm a big girl now
I'll over look the fact it took you 17 years to come around
Better 17 years than never,
That's what i always say
Some aren't blessed enough to hear their dad's voice every day

So i guess that's it,
All done
Sorry if I've ruined your day
But after these 17 yrs of turtore
A truthful letter is a small price to pay

Sincerely [Love Always],

your daugher
