Sadness Lyrics - Mavado

did tell you it was coming; the celebration of fathers. I am not going to make this a controversial entry because there was no controversy surrounding fatherhood for me. Sperm-donor is a label heard ever so often being used to refer to fathers, stemming from their absence in their child/children's life. It is quite appalling the number of fatherless homes that exist today. With this in mind, it gives us an even greater reason to celebrate those who are still here and those who left us in body but are still with us in spirit. They can teach those that left or were just never there, how to be a father. 

Sadness 

By Movado 

INTRO 

My Son, until dat day when our souls meet again....guidance and protection 

Reach out to all the lost long gone souls 

Even my father was a rasta man pan di battlefield, ino 

Selassie I yu son remember di I 

Sadness from yu gone Jah know is sadness 

Sadness from yu gone daddy is sadness 

I remember day goes by when it was gladness 

Now is sadness from yu gone, sadness from yu gone 

Sadness from yu gone Jah know is sadness 

Sadness from yu gone daddy is sadness 

I remember day goes by when it was gladness 

Now is sadness from yu gone, sadness from yu gone 

Remember when we use to smoke together 

Sit and chat about life and run joke together 

Even though you were my father 

We stick together as a friend or even as a bredda, yeah 

But now yu gone, Jah Jah know 

It hurts me deep inside Jah Jah know 

Jah Jah know, only Jah Jah know 

Omega know what am going through 

Sadness from yu gone Jah know is sadness 

Sadness from yu gone Tigo is sadness 

I remember day goes by when it was gladness 

Now is sadness from yu gone, sadness from yu gone 

Sadness from yu gone Jah know is sadness 

Sadness from yu gone Jah know is sadness 

I remember day goes by when it was gladness 

Now is sadness from yu gone, sadness from yu gone

(Song fades to end) 

Some of the most lasting memories of my time on this earth stemmed from the relationship that I had with my father. There were good and bad moments but at the end of it all, there was always a lesson to be learnt. Whether these lessons were directly taught or were learnt from the mere presence of the experience, I cherish and hold every minute dear to my heart. Who I am today has largely been contributed to by the moments I shared with my father. One of the things that I have realized from my experience and from those of others is that men who grew up without the presence of a father, when given the opportunity, become great fathers. There are some men who think that if they cannot provide their child with material things then they cannot make any other contributions so it makes sense for them to leave. The reality of life is, a father being able to provide materially for a child is nowhere near half of the requirements of being a father, the major elements that are needed cannot be bought or even seen.

Hey dad, this one is reaching out to you (reaching out to you)

Daddy big Sunday morning I no eat no breakfast 

White squall tek ova mi mouth like lip gloss 

Mi drop out from a first class scholar student straight back to B class (seh so) 

And now mi haffi look pan (d)I kyaar dem a pass

Ski mask robbing come iina mi thoughts 

But yu seh di narrow road mi fi walk

So pan yu tomb I a lef a bunch a rose 

Ef mi fi seh certain tings dad yu turn and twist inna yu grave 

Family wudda shame weh treat I like slave 

A no seh dat I no brave but di Most High mek mi behave 

So mi seh music yu save mi, music yu save 

When time di pagans dem a try enslave mi 

A try kill mi talent weh di Most High gave mi 

A just chuu mi skill mek dem no grave mi 

Dad a wish yu were around to see ma three sons grow 

Wah mek dat hurt most, dem look like you 

Mama seh mi stay focus just like you 

Mi stay Gucci from mi cap to mi shoe 

So daddy rest in peace, seh a likkle praiya fi mi from above 

Mi deh yah pan di gully side a chill said a Mov 

More time di pressure hit mi mi link di gaza thug 

But mi neva buss a slug

(Song ends) 

There aren't many songs present that contribute to the celebration of fathers. However, I was able to find four that are ideal for this entry. They speak to two topics, the gap that is left after the loss of a brilliant father and the dedication that a real father will make to ensure his family is comfortable. I can relate to both. On the night of April 27, 2007, my father was taken from my life as a result of the carelessness of a taxi driver but to the end he is the best father ever. The lyrics of each song appeal to the different effects of have a wonderful father.

Dear Dad (The Letter) 

By Ky-Mani Marley 

INTRO 

Yeah well this is the letter, whoa 

Yeah well this is the letter, whoa 

Yeah well this is the letter (chuckle) 

Eeey goes like this, now 

Dear God I have a letter here from me to dad 

And I want to let you know might be a little sad 

Dear God letter here from me to dad 

And I want to let you know, it goes 

Dear dad I didn't get to know you 

And sometimes I sit and wonder and it makes me blue 

But there is one memory that stays on the back of my mind 

And this memory got me thinking bout you all the time 

Whoa, I swear we miss you so 

And I wish that you was here to see your boys grow 

In case you are wondering, mommy she's doing fine 

And she tell me stories bout you papa all the time 

So when I am down and out, lonely or I'm feeling blue 

All I do dada dad is think of you 

The thoughts alone, erase my fear and dries my tears 

I am just writing to let you know someone cares 

Yeah I love you, really really love you 

Daddy I miss you I miss you 

And I know my brothers and sisters do too 

Hey I love you really really love you 

Oh Lord so true, do 

And I know you gave your love to the people 

And some of whom you thought you did trust they deceived you 

But the trial brings another day 

At least that's what my mamma say 

And den, when I'm through I'll place this letter in the bible 

And I'm going pray to Jah to send his disciples 

To deliver you this letter, lord 

It will make me feel much better now I sing 

Dear God I have a letter here from me to dad 

And I want to let you know might be a little sad 

Dear God letter here from me to dad 

And I want to let you know 

P.S. 

So much things I'd like to know and so much things to say 

But I'm gonna save cause I know we'll be together some day 

Am just writing to let you know someone cares 

And to let you know you left the whole world in tears, whao 

Yeah I swear, whooawooa, now 

Yeah daddy I love you, really really love you 

Daddy I miss you I miss you 

And I know my brothers and sisters do too 

Hey I love you really really love you 

Oh, hear we go, hey 

Dear dad I didn't get to know you 

And sometimes I sit and wonder and it makes me blue 

But there is one memory that stays on the back of my mind 

And this memory got me thinking bout you all the time 

Whoa, I swear we miss you so 

And I wish that you was here to see your boys grow 

In case you are wondering, mommy she's doing fine 

And she tell me stories bout you papa all the time 

So when I am down and out, lonely or I'm feeling blue 

All I do dada dad is think of you 

The thoughts alone, erase my fear and dries my tears 

I am just writing to let you know someone cares 

Yeah I love you, really really love you 

Daddy I miss you I miss you 

And I know my brothers and sisters do too 

Hey I love you really really love you 

Daddy I miss you...
