Luyện nghe bài hát Fathers, 2004

I'm a lover, a
I'm a teacher, I'm a
I there's grace for me even when I'm wrong
all my indiscretions and all my imperfections I'm a love you till the day that I'm gone
How do you dad?
It goes
How do you spell
It goes

Son in the land of the passive make that you man up
When introduced to a lady its proper to stand up
talk behind the back of someone you're not a fan of
Know the cops approach you, you might have to put your hands up
Respect all and show honor to the king
No matter what think the Lord created all human beings
Be critical, but partner with defiance
Be happy who you are all alone in the silence
without ceasing, but keep your eyes on the system
Always speak up for the weak until somebody
marry her if you don't plan to bury her
If you sweep her off her then learn how to carry her

Through thick and you know we gon hold it down
Through good or bad you we gon stick around

How do you spell
It L-O-V-E
How do you dad?
It L-O-V-E

Baby girl make sure your kings a man than me
You believe I know that may be hard to achieve
beautiful, I will always remind you
Never let the culture's idea of beauty you
Baby girl be easily impressed
Stay clothed in cause it's harder to undress
I'm raise the next Lena Horne
Fannie Lou Hamer a who can bring reform
Be wise and
be a side chick for the ride along
Always be humble right or wrong
And know I'll be here your friends are gone
your friends are gone

If you want love, get
If you need love, love

Yeah, I got new goals its business I handle now
The kind of that brothers over thirty be bragging 'bout
Tell my son that he's more than some target
Tell my daughter she's more than an extension to a mattress
reach a goal by pulling others down
Royalty is more than a throne and a crown
Your knees should be hurt from with your people
Your shirt'll be wet from crying over
I learned that love based on performance
a mistake and I will love you in the morning
I see life in my eyes
And when I'm wrong I'll be the first to
to all my fathers who are working through their flaws
Fulfilling their and they don't do it for applause
It's true, any fool with a tool can
But a father is that that'll see it through
Forget the stereotypes be clear
There are men out there we are here

Through thick and you know we gon hold it down
Through good or bad you know we gon around

How do you dad?
It L-O-V-E
How do you dad?
It goes
How do you dad?
