I know nobody ever really tell you like
And all the things you been truth
And you been there for us, no matter what
This my letter to you dad
Even though I love my mama,
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
When we aint had nothing
You came through, daddy
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
If you love your daddy,
Then hug your daddy
This my letter to my daddy,
If you dont have a daddy
Any man that raised you
We call him daddy
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
If I never told you this, yeah
I love you daddy
See my daddy taught me how to ride my bike
I said my daddy taught me how to fly my kite
Daddy even told me stories to put me at sleep at night
Daddy told me dont trip and everything gonn be alright
When we was hungry, daddy went found some food
Before he went to work, daddy even walked us to school
Daddy was late on the bills,
And still brought us some shoes
And daddy never made us ill like it wasnt cool
You aint perfect sometimes, you like to smoke and drink
But your educators told us we gonn be what you cant
And daddy walked by the bus, if we lie and still
He was tough but he still kept it real
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
When we aint had nothing
You came through, daddy
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
If you love your daddy,
Then hug your daddy
This my letter to my daddy,
If you dont have a daddy
Any man that raised you
We call him daddy
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
If I never told you this, yeah
I love you daddy
When I got sick, daddy took me to the hospital
When I felt better, it was icecream and popsicles
Daddy taught me things that no man ever taught me
Daddy showed me how to fight say youll never be a sucker
Daddy call broke down, we was dry when we rode that bus
Daddy held our hand, smiled when mom would fuss
He said yeah, yall better chase your dreams
Cause these streets aint what they seem
And going to jail aint an option
Believe me go and can nobody stop you
From the hood, but still could be a pro, a lawyer or doctor
And raise your family, could never be a dead beat
Daddy taught me how to be strong
Thats how he raised me
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
When we aint had nothing
You came through, daddy
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
If you love your daddy,
Then hug your daddy
This my letter to my daddy,
If you dont have a daddy
Any man that raised you
We call him daddy
This my letter to my daddy, my letter to my daddy
If I never told you this, yeah
I love you daddy.
