Kishan The Jinn - Pappa

Wish I could've known you better
Wish I could've seen you clearer
Never seen someone so closed off
I'm turning into a man I never knew of

Eh Pappa
So close yet so far
I can see myself in you
I got high expectations
I avoid complications
I don't have mitigations
For the shit that I took in
Couldn't bow to your feet knowing all the the conditions
Bare love couldn't be enough
No trust cos I couldn't give enough
No trust over bad communication

Know I'm enough
To move forward knowing I have it all
Know I can touch
The heart of the man in my reflection
One thing is true
I'd reach out to my kids with open arms
One thing is real
Wouldn't let my own jump away without heart

I spoke my truth
You couldn't lose
You couldn't put aside
Judgement and all your pride
Lessons accrue
Lessons are missed overdue
I'm standing on my two feet now
The love is there casted somehow

Eh Pappa
So close yet so far
I can see myself in you
I got high expectations
I avoid complications
I don't have mitigations
For the shit that I took in
Couldn't bow to your feet knowing all the the conditions
Bare love couldn't be enough
No trust cos I couldn't give enough
No trust over bad communication

What's a kid to do?
No man to
Look on up to
No positive role model
Every week sons resort to the bottle

Worked from nothing to this day
Carried a family and paid
Fortunes of time and money
Went through adversity and dismay
Our struggles are in never knowing who you were
Every day I wonder how to fit those shoes you wore
All the things I saw conflicted with my inner word
Shaking up the pillars you left couldn't be much worse

Eh Pappa
So close yet so far
I can see myself in you
I got high expectations
I avoid complications
I don't have mitigations
For the shit that I took in
Couldn't bow to your feet knowing all the the conditions
Bare love couldn't be enough
No trust cos I couldn't give enough
No trust over bad communication

Pappa
