Dear Future Son

Dear Future Son,

Have fun, live life in the moment.
I’m working real hard now to get you everything you ever wanted.

Imma cherish your innocence
While trying to teach you common sense.

Cause your pops never have none.
Well… I had fun,
But I took a lot of losses when I thought that I had ONE.

Or maybe two, or maybe three…
I consider love like branches on a tree.
Or more like switches to me.

I would go fetch em and bring em back to ya Nana.
Thought they were okay… But I knew she couldn’t stand em.

One thing I love about that lady, she would teach me before she beat me.
And just shake her head, because I was bringing her a new “switch” weekly.
Good Morning Mass texts, heart tangled up like some seaweed.
Staying out all night while setting up different teepees.

Never can stay too long, gotta get up and move.
Now every decision is prolonged when they say, “Man up and choose”.

I’m confused, ion know…
She say, “I love you, does it show”?
You wanna hear the real answer…
“Hell M*&^% F*&^%^ NO”!!!!

Only game I play is Michael Jackson.
Don’t think of me when you close enough to touch, and forget me when you’re relaxin.

I admit, it was cute, we were living the same dream.
With occasional nightmares.
But what’s this, been a minute and we doing the same thing.
With occasional “ooo yea’s…”

Ok… Ok…
I’m sorry.

Tell your mother I said “HI”!
Remember, REAL men… yea they cry.
But when you sick on the inside,
Just know when to say BYE.

LOVE YOU SON,

Daddy
P.S.  You're coming home as soon as this tour is over.  And PLEASE don’t make the same mistakes I did.
