[Verse 1]
I got my drinking from my daddy (Damn)
Used to kick the wisdom while he sipped up on his Brandy
He pushed a plymouth but that n***a used to whip it like a caddie
Never saw the method to his madness
Some days I would scream, "I can't stand you"
And then he slip up say he wished he never had me
I closed the distance once a n***a moved to Cali'
I wish I never moved to Cali'
I can't even hold a grudge no more
Tough love done made me grow up
City full of n***as that I really don't trust
Lonely and I'm drunk so I think I'll call him up and say

[Chorus]
He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey

[Post-Chorus]
Hope I feel the same when I come down
Hope I feel the same when I come down
Hope I feel the same when I come down
[Verse 2]
Finally on my own, see me on the road
Been a minute since I visit, hate to see you getting old
And I wished I never blamed you for the things you didn't know
Sometimes I wish I still had you to keep me on my toes
How it feel pops?
To see your young boy getting money, got that deal pops, put a little back up in your pocket
Here pops, I can pay you back for college now for real pops
Finally living like you live

[Chorus]
He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
