Notes

This one, man. This one goes out to my father, jake..This is our story bout to tell it true.... alright..

Here we go.
(winter is coming)
1, 2.

Years ago man, A child so excited, that was me: just waiting!, that's what i did.

Father got out of prison, lost the suspension. Met him for the first time man, shit load of tension.

He came up to me, picked me up, held me up high. he said hello: i'm your father(With a tear in his eye)

I was so happy man, i was stoked up. Realized who he was so i froze and i choked up.

i never understood why he got locked away, little after little and we started to stray.

Back and fourth yo, friends and enemies. i hated him so much it shocked him like Enenemy.

i can't take it, man.. 'the fuck do i do, told the court i'm done, i can't take it your honor!! i'm through!!

Didn't see him anymore,brain was so sore, the man i hated was part of my core.. One of the same, bound together by blood. This man was my father and went and spartan kicked him into the mud.

After a few years i started to see him again, this shit was weird, thought i caused it to end.

His family all missed me, for the holidays every year. they were like "Hassan come back, we truly want you here!"

I felt sad and so great at the same time, i understood that the love my father and his family wanted was mine.

next thing you know i accepted my fathers invitation, we haven't fought since, so peaceful with each other like meditation.

As i grew man.. so did he, We began to understand each other and we broke free,
after so much he became more of a friend, i've never really had a father before so i thought that was the trend.

few years later i sat down with him in his car, told him how i really felt like and how i've been so far. he started cryin' like he felt my pain. I told him i don't really hate him and he needed a cane. Blinded with sadness, a painful black abyss, He told me he was sorry for everything and went down this list.

I started to realize that i didn't hate my father, i hated the thought of a man i never knew coming into my life, it was a bother.

My mother was my only parent and that's how it'll stay. But dad i hope you know, you'll always be my father, no matter how far i go away..

Happy fathers day, dad..
Love your son, Hassan.
