A Father’s Heart Lyrics by BOY SODA
Father Pasifika
Isolate,
Had to cut off all the family,
They can’t be tamed.
What a vision of the culture
All I knew was that we drink until it rains, and
They take & then they take
Don’t reach out to me I’ll meet you at the gates
At the gates
At the gates, at the gates
Two new babies, new house, old car
Workin’ multiple jobs
Said you ‘need it’
What’s the reason?
Barely eating, and you keep asking for more
Same last name, cut from a different cloth,
No, we’re not blood
Had your demons, fought to keep ’em
Had our reasons,
Blood is not deeper than trust, trust, trust
Blood is not deeper than trust
Father, I see your soul
See your heart in the middle,
Couldn’t cater both
Saw you grieving for the man who never showed control,
But you show control.
Broke a cycle but you never break another’s bones
Bikin’ back & forth between the job,
Mama doin’ hours just to give us what we want
You got super powers but you’re still somebody’s son
Protector of your mother
Not your fault he had too much
Scars don’t have to be birthmarks
The road ends where the heart starts
Scars don’t have to be birthmarks
The road ends where the heart starts
Said blood is not deeper than trust, no
Oh, blood is not deeper than trust
No, blood is not deeper than trust
Trust.
B*h, don’t get me started
I could give a fk if you related to my father
You see that, right there, is my brother,
The older I get, the more I just wanna start sum’
Cycles on cycles on cycles,
He can choose peace, I still wanna fight you,
Still wanna fight you,
My father’s heart, my father’s heart.
