Father's Day Lyrics - Heart Of Dixie (mixtape) - Yelawolf

[Spoken intro:] 

I just thought it was appropriate to, uh 

Just to give a shout out, or show my appreciation to all the fathers 

Cause I hear a lot of rappers say or brag about not having kids but 

Guess what? I do 

So I'd like to send this record out to all the daddies 

You know the real daddies, taking care of shit 

[Verse 1:] 

This one's for the skateboarders, emcees, b-boys like me 

Street artists in magazines, DJs with babies 

Working hard, you never sleep, never get to spend they time at home 

Send that money but you never see him 

Always working, daddy's gone 

To the brick laying, dirt digging 

Burger flipping in the fuckin kitchen 

Just to get that check on Friday 

So you could bring back home what was missing 

Everyday is feed my kids day 

End of the month is rent day 

And if you don't get back to work on time 

They tax you for that month's break 

For the d-boys holding weight 

And for the daddies who are locked away 

Doing time cause you was doing crime 

But you was only tryna put down a plate 

Maybe to get some baby J's 

In the 80s, hey, that's how we raised 

And to the men feeding a friend's child 

When that friend has passed away 

I've got to say

[Spoken:] 

Yeah, to all my closest friends 

And all the father figures in my life 

You know I really, I just wanna say thank you 

Yo, for real 

[Hook:] 

Happy father's day 

No matter how you getting paid 

You hustle hard, you show the way 

Happy father's day

[Verse 2:] 

Tell my mama not to worry about me 

Cause I ain't never had a second to forgive my dad 

I can't help but to believe in myself 

It's not really a choice but a matter of being a real dad 

When I came to the world I knew I had a talent 

But I never would imagine I would be a young dad 

And I grew up like weed overnight, through the crack in the concrete 

Look at me, young daddy 

Tell me how to walk away from a child 

And I'll tell you how to walk away from a million dad 

If you can walk away from a million bucks then you never gave a fuck 

You a dumb fuck, dad 

To look up and see a man above you 

To tell you that you ain't invisible, that's a muthafuckin' daddy 

So why did he push you, and teach you how to fight 

If you didn't fight, fuckin right, that's a good dad 

Gotta take a second now show love to the trailer park apartment hood dads 

A man who ain't got a lot but in a minute he would drop it all 

Do anything he could do daddy 

Jesus, when I go to see every baby mama who never had a real dad 

Don't take it out in the baby or maybe even the man when he's only tryna become 

A real daddy 

[Spoken:] 

... cause it ain't easy 

But it's a blessing man 

Makes you work hard 

To all the hard workers out there 

I just wanna say 

[Hook:] 

Happy father's day 

No matter how you getting paid 

You hustle hard, you show the way 

Happy father's day
