Lyrics
[Spoken Word] "Gimme a D!" "D!" "Gimme an A!" "A!" "Gimme a D!" "D!" "Gimme a D!" "D!" "Gimme a Y!" "Y!" "What's that spell?" "Daddy!" "What's that spell?" "Daddy!" "What's that spell?" "Daddy!" I don't know how to start this and I'm supposed to be an artist This topic is the hardest- I guess it's just catharsis Emotions trapped in silence locked deep in my heart Contemplating unseen forces that keep us apart It feels so cliche- absentee father Abandoned me yonder- that has to leave trauma But this is kind of different, not your typical case Because even as a kid I remember your face You and mom never married and I wonder: Was it scary when You found out that it was your child that she was carrying? My mother thought that y'all would last forever Alas! However, your love got smashed and severed But now you're left with me- I'm your destiny and legacy The same pedigree yet we live separately Memories locked away so many things I got to say But first I just wanted to wish you a Happy Father's Day I love my daddy, my daddy loves me He makes me as happy as can be How do I spell my favorite guy? I spell it D-A-D-D-Y How do I spell my favorite guy? I spell it D-A-D-D-Y I spell it D-A-D-D-Y Sitting by the window waiting for your car to arrive I wasn't scarred, I was five- you were a star in my eyes You would pick me up, here we go- familiar scenario Cartoons, cheerios, Luther on your stereo Too young to understand weekend visitations But when you dropped me off, I could see the limitations You and mom had worked it out without the courts And every two weeks, you dropped off child support As an adolescent I remember us having sessions Of laughter, jesting, chess, and practical lessons That was a blessing- I'm guessing the long and short of it Is that the little that I got made me long for more of it Looking back, I can see times I would silently Wonder why is He not excited to spend some time with me? For us to get together, usually I'd have to call you At times you would make plans with me and they would fall through Time passed- no longer a kid, but in my teens Relating to that Fresh Prince scene with Ben Vereen And as I got older, my heart got colder Carrying the weight of your absence on my shoulders Wishing you weren't distant, so much bitterness then My whole life switched when I became a Christian So many memories locked away But for now, all I gotta say is Happy Father's Day I love my daddy, my daddy loves me He makes me as happy as can be How do I spell my favorite guy? I spell it D-A-D-D-Y How do I spell my favorite guy? I spell it D-A-D-D-Y I spell it D-A-D-D-Y Through divine election, I received a blessing Discovered that I now had a Father who was in heaven After I was saved through the gospel and made new I came to your crib to let you know that I forgave you It wasn't what I hoped for- you didn't shed a tear Didn't see you again for another seven years My life at that point, I can't recall a lot off the top But time stood still when I saw you at that coffee shop It was clearer the end of your days was getting nearer You said looking at me was like staring into a mirror Since then I see you here and there-get togethers, funerals The times you crossed my mind, I can't count the numerals I'm married now and got three children of my own Not sure if by their grandfather they'll ever be known Do you have regrets? Do you wonder what could have been? Do you feel guilt about the father that you should have been? I know you just did to me what your father did to you But through Jesus Christ, Dad, you can find forgiveness too! One day we'll all have to stand before the Lord The payment for sin is a price we can't afford Our frailty and flaws, failures and loss Was all laid on Christ when they nailed Him to the cross And that's a lot to say, just know to God I pray That you would follow His way and know the Father today! I love my Daddy, my Daddy loves me He sent Jesus to die on the tree How do I spell my Daddy is the best? I spell it J-E-S-U-S How do I spell my Daddy is the best? I spell it J-E-S-U-S I spell it J-E-S-U-S
