Farther Figures by TravP Lyrics
[Chorus]
Young boy no it's not your fault
Y'all out you keep looking up to the wrong niggas
Trust me I feel your pain, no dad coming up
All we had was far away farther figures
Man we see on TV some rap, some hoop, some fake, some just don't know how to act
Most of them just trying get they pocket fat
While leading us down in the wrong path
[Verse 1]
Here we go June 17th some was calling me "TravP did you message your pops?"
'Nah'
Started thinking to myself, V.I 13 years don't have 13 birthday cards
'Nah'
At the least, you would think 13 years I received all 13 calls
'Nah'
No recognition no celebration nor presents for the presence of the boy But that's cool
'Cause yo could find me in the club bottle a bub
And a pocket full of ones
Had to learn from fif told me live it up
Only die once value life so much
Kobe told me do it all be clutch work hard everyday
Boy must see results
At the time mind was kinda like a sponge
And if it was a trend was ready to soak it up
[Verse 2]
We don't face the same fate from the choices we make but we all make mistakes, same time, did you learn to go the other way?
Or stayed in the same repetitive mind state?
As you age older but not much wiser to realize the police been plotting on our demise
Your parna is the plug keep giving you drug advice
Investing in some loud the thought of an enterprise
Some make bail, some don't most of the time
But who am I to judge he selling just to get by
He's just a middle man with supplies
To provide a connect using plants for me and the most high
But my father wasn't there encourage me to do right
Go to school young boy think about your life
But the mother from day 1 was there to sacrifice
See her sunrise like Jesus Christ
Still, I couldn't see the light
[Chorus]
Young boy no it's your fault
You out here on the block chilling with the gang
'Nah'
Just looking for acceptance, protection
Affection that you couldn't get from the fam
'Yeah'
If you develop from a mind that's negatively tough
Trust me one day we'll see the brighter picture
But boy I feel your pain who's there guiding us
Just far away Farther Figures
Young boy no it's not your fault
Y'all out you keep looking up to the wrong niggas
Trust me I feel your pain, no dad coming up
All we had was far away farther figures
Man we see on TV some rap, some hoop, some fake, some just don't know how to act
Most of them just trying get they pocket fat
While leading us down in the wrong path
