Ever found life in a cold hard world
Your mind ever really just twists and twirls
You prolly thought about this & I have too
Like suffocating badly in one small room
You're strapped to a bed, and you can't move
Who knew that death would come so soon
Needles and wires and other gadgets
Keep you alive as your body's collapsing
I'm asking God "like why"
"Why would do You this? Keep him alive"
"I want him to see that I took his advice"
"I want him to see that I made it in life
Nah I can't blame God, I gotta stay strong
Life does end, but the world goes on
But Dad, I know you'll hold on
Go to sleep, but don't rest for too long
Ya gotta
Hold on, hold on
If nothing's changed ya gotta
Hold on, hold on
Ya wanna make it then just
Hold on, hold on
We're getting closer so just
Hold on, hold on
It will be worth it
I know you're stubborn Dad
And I know that you won't give up
I know that you're tougher than anything
You fall but you get back up
Ya know that I learned that from you
I'm honest, I'm being real
Back then, when we didn't have a home
Stuck in a car, couldn't pay the bills
You were out there working, pushing, stealing, dealing
Really just for us
Whether a buck, no matter the luck
In God you trusted so you could come up
But I know that the coke had got to you
But because of that look where it got you to
But Dad, I know you'll hold on
Go to sleep, but don't rest for too long
Ya gotta
Hold on, hold on
If nothing's changed ya gotta
Hold on, hold on
Ya wanna make it then just
Hold on, hold on
We're getting closer so just
Hold on, hold on
It will be worth it
Since the day I could remember
You were young and you were tall
I looked up to you so much
Not just because I was small
I know I wasn't the best at doing the things
That you have done
But with everything I've done
I understand I'm still your son
If there was anything I could change, it be the
Way that I've been
I just wanna say that I've loved you
And I'll love you til the end
I know that God will have you
In His arms and let you in
Know that Jesus reaches for you
Just cry out to Him again
Ya gotta
Hold on, hold on
If nothing's changed ya gotta
Hold on, hold on
Ya wanna make it then just
Hold on, hold on
We're getting closer so just
Hold on, hold on
It will be worth it
Dad
After everything that we've gone through
After all the ups and downs
I just wanna say I thank you
I love you
