DMX - Letter to my son (Call your Father)

with Usher, Brian King Joseph


[Intro: DMX]
Huh, rrrr (Woo)
Ooh, rrrr
This is one of those
You already know what it is
Rrrr

[Verse: DMX]
Dear son, I look in your eyes, I see my own
You look in my eyes and see my throne
How many times I tried to talk to you, explain to you
See, it didn't mean a thing to you
Love you, but right now I wanna bite you
I wanna give you a hug, but I might bite you
Be a man about it, we can admit when we're wrong
Come on, love that kid, shit, you are
If you'd have paid attention, you'd have saw it coming
But you a man lookin' in the eyes of a woman
Always gon' love your mama (always), we just drifted apart
and my kids, y'all my heart
and you got more brothers and sisters
'Cause I got more kids, and hey,
It's just what it is
You're thе oldest, I known you longer,
but I don't love thеm less
Had to get that off my chest
Now I know what you thought about my use of drugs
But it taught you enough to not use them drugs
When you were a kid, you play with toys, okay
But you a man, put them toys away.
What I'm saying is stop thinkin' like a child
'Cause when it's winter it's winter
Dawg, you gotta realize you're wrong
And we could've been best friends all along
But it kinda defeats the purpose of the song
Now I'm at seven,
Now I'm at five, four-eight to the four
Give me a call, I love you boy
(That's the truth, give me a call)

[Chorus: Usher]
Yeah, yeah,
I let you down
Should've been there,
but I let you down
Not too late, not too late
I can't give you yesterday,
but I can learn from my mistakes
Not too late, it ain't too late
Call your father.
Call your father.

[Bridge: Brian King Joseph]
Dear father,
Should've been there when I need it
Should've been there with the dead
Call your son

[Chorus: Usher]
Yeah, yeah, I let you down
Should've been there, but I let you down
Not too late, not too late (Not too late)
I can't give you yesterday,
but I can learn from my mistakes
Not too late, it ain't too late
Call your father.
Call your father.
