Verse 1:
Yo, Father failed, but I’m still here,
Carrying dreams, replacing those tears,
A young boy lost in a world so cold,
Looking for guidance, but it never unfolds.
Chorus:
Father failure, the pain runs deep,
Lessons learned, but they don’t come cheap,
Searching for love in the scars that remain,
Every step forward, breaking the chain.
Verse 2:
Echoes of silence in rooms we shared,
Promises broken, too much I bared,
But I rise from the ashes, ignite the flame,
No more shadows, I’m changing the game.
Chorus:
Father failure, the pain runs deep,
Lessons learned, but they don’t come cheap,
Searching for love in the scars that remain,
Every step forward, breaking the chain.
Bridge:
Came from a place where the hope was dim,
But I’m redefining what’s been written in sin,
To my kids, I promise, I’ll show you the way,
No more father failures, I’m here to stay.
Outro:
Yeah, Father failure, but I’ve learned to fly,
Through the ups and downs, I reach for the sky,
Leave the past behind, I’m carving my fate,
A new legacy waiting, I can’t be late.
