Embedded in emotion I'm open hoping whoever's calling's all in

For the low-key it was O-M-O-Y-E

I read my daughter's name slowly

I'm asleep sleeping with the TV on two in the morn'

Who the hell is this on some Biggie Warn

Something's wrong what's going on

You should be under covers warm

Is there a thunder storm

Someone done you wrong

Words stumbled on she mumbled on something's on

Oh s**t she lit a habit she got legit

We talked a bit truthfully I was tired

Youthfully she was high with her friends

I said bye quick the phone collided with my sleep again

Three minutes later but there's another layer

She said I didn't care

She said I wasn't there when she was younger

Summer tour buses wasn't enough to show what love is

She said I did things that a dad doesn't

And that she had questions

If I'm a good father why all the bad judgment

I'm looking past judgment about to ask something

But she was bag busting inside I'm mad cussing

Inside I'm sad dusting off my pride

I thought that I did protect and provide and I'm a father that's live

What about the rides with you in the backseat

You tellin' me if it's a wack beat

I came to a few track meets

Weekend movies I got you tickets to Lil Uzi

Truly I try

She said it's the things that you didn't do not what you did

It hurt her spirit when she saw me with another woman's kid

Peeled back and thought to love her I gotta listen

Now love and action is the new vision

She said dad let your actions be your loudest speaker

And now my daughter is now my teacher

With love

Show me that you're there show me that you care

I've been looking for you but you don't want to share

I've been looking for you even over there

Will you stay around this time or should I be prepared

Show me that you're there show me how you care

You like to come around here

You know actions speak louder than words right

Show me that you love show me that you care

This space is feeling empty but you don't see me there

You won't feel the pain and you won't take the blame

How you come around here and you just stay the same

Show me that you love show me that you care

When is the time for you to pull a chair

And tell me who you are and tell me you'll be there

And show up when it's hard and show me you care

Show me show me

Show me show me show me

Show me

Show me show me show me

Show me
