Pop's Last Name

歌詞

I grew up without a father He's been locked up since '96 But there's another man, he ain't here no more That raised me as a kid We used to ride out to the battlefield And he'd tell me stories 'bout the past He taught me the things he knew I'd need to know And answered all the questions that I'd ask I hope he's smiling up there lookin' down And proud of this wild child that came around I got my pop's last name Still feel his hand here on my shoulder I still hear him say "You'll understand when you get older" Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say I got my pop's last name I got my pop's last name He taught me, "Yes, Ma'am", "No Ma'am", "God is good" and "God is great" Taught me elbows off the table And always clean your plate He said knowledge over money 'Cause the ones with money always pay He left little bits of gold like that all over the place I got my pop's last name Still feel his hand here on my shoulder I still hear him say "You'll understand when you get older" Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say I got my pop's last name I got my pop's last name Yeah He gave it to his daughter and me Along with all that love and all that time And now here I am a father, proud to be Giving his to mine My pop's last name Still feel his hand here on my shoulder My pop's last name I understand now that I'm older Today, I couldn't be any more grateful, thankful, or proud to say I got my pop's last name I got my pop's last name Yeah Rest in peace, Pop, I love you, buddy
