Annual track I record every year in memory of my Dad. Took a different approach to it this year on more of a positive note.

Intro
I gotta change it up and start thinking positive
It's obvious i'm on a cliff depressions got me hollowing
But I gotta take a look at it from different perspectives
I'm missing directions or it's just my perception
I think about the worst but it can't be that bad
When it really starts to hurt I just wanna see dad
But it happened for a reason everything was meant to be
I don't understand it now but I will eventually
I know things change I been suffering for long
At my lowest points in life I've muscled all along
Could have let it go was always something pushing me
All the people in my life have always given cushioning
At the time i couldn't see it I was stuck in a tunnel
I couldn't get passed I was rushing with fumbles
Now i'm making completions as i'm reading whats coming
Trying to dodge all the hits as I'm keeping 'em running
Been blessed in many ways, i forget to appreciate
I know I lost my dad I was able to see his face
Some never met their dad it helps me alleviate
Made it all through school, education to keep me safe
Bachelors degree kept me with cash if i need
To spend casually on all these lavish cuisines
That's past the fact I'm lucky to be employed
Was out of work before its nothing to be enjoyed
Yeah it was my first job and I learned the hard way
Now I know what to do Ima get far today
If it wasn't for my injury I probably wouldn't have rapped
Would have still been playing ball with this talent intact
Now i'm spazzing on tracks i wouldn't never known it though
Even though i'm growing old i'm gonna keep on flowing though
All the people I have met some were good some were bad
They had their purposes I've understood and i'm glad
Right now everybody in my life is trying to help
From coping with the pain so i can find myself
I gotta look at the good take it for what it is
No more grudges to lift i'll be above the mist
Seeing clear thinking straight and serving my duty
Notice things I never saw, observing the beauty
I been trapped in a well and I'm just reaching the surface
Sun shining no more clouds i'm speaking with purpose
Head high looking straight without feeling nervous
I wouldn't call this perfect but it's better than hurting
