Was It Worth It Lyrics - Crystal Nicole

[Verse 1: Derek Minor] 

On birthdays and Christmas I used to have you on my wishlist 

Held my son the first time, looked him in his eye 

And thought to myself, what kind of fool would ever miss this 

I ain't ask for you to sleep with mom and make me 

Plus I'm your blood, why would you leave, what was so important 

They told you smash broads roll up the weed 

I guess that buzz got you high enough to float over me 

I hope that every dollar that you made, every girl that you slay 

When you close your eyes at night, I hope you say it's all worth it 

Every graduation, birthday, game that you missed 

I hope what you got instead make you feel it's all worth it 

Being a father's expensive and it's cost you may ignore 

Just know me and your grandson is paying for it 

Can't ask myself what would dad do in hard times 

'Cus that means he'll be writing one of these rhymes 

[Hook: Crystal Nicole] 

All these hearts that you broke, all these lies that you told 

All this pain that you own, years all alone 

Nights away from home, tell me 

I hope it was worth it, was it worth it 

Tell me was worth it, tell me was it really worth it 

[Verse 2: Lecrae] 

Listen, a lot of rap dudes never had a daddy 

That's why we want approval from Nas like he family 

But, it ain't just Jermaine, it's Dre to The Game 

To the Birdman saying that he's the father of Wayne, man 

What happened to us better yet what didn't happen 

No happy family 'cus daddy left me 

Deep in this Valley, of the Shadow of Death 

I'm felling the breath of a preditor on my neck 

Ate me alive while daddy was getting high 

Trying to chase after something that I'm certain he'll never find 

When the whole time, he could have had my young mind 

Somewhere along the line I guess he spent up all his time 

Sent me this birthday card out of the blind, when I was nine 

Inherited a bunch of pain and some empty memories 

Wishing that he picked me up from elementary 

I wish he could have seen me on my graduation 

Taught me to raise the son, and told me congratulations 

[Hook: Crystal Nicole] 

All these hearts that you broke, all these lies that you told 

All this pain that you own, years all alone 

Nights away from home, tell me 

I hope it was worth it, was it worth it 

Tell me was worth it, tell me was it really worth it
