[00:23.40]
[00:34.59]He leans back from his desk
[00:37.07]Rubs the back of his neck
[00:38.49]The stress takes effect
[00:40.54]Grips the bridge of his nose
[00:42.46]Squints while showing emotions he normally won't
[00:46.37]At 56,he re-evaluates
[00:48.71]possible regretting some decisions that he's made.
[00:51.41]Black is turning Grey patches of his age
[00:54.28]Reflecting from the glasses that pass of every page
[00:57.24]Passionately day reads
[00:58.29]Reading on occasion
[00:59.78]Dreaming of the day when he could do the same thing
[01:02.62]He's always wanted to write
[01:04.72]That's all hes wanted in life
[01:06.53]With two daughters,a son,and a remarkable wife
[01:08.60]He's in a bond
[01:09.38]He has to provide
[01:10.60]A family is relying on a milli to survive
[01:14.01]His father died at 56
[01:16.31]so he's well aware of how vital a father figure is
[01:20.19]How big of a responsibility it is
[01:22.64]To be a good husband and care for your kids
[01:25.92]Never miss an evenin,
[01:27.34]help them with their homework,
[01:28.38]discipline to prevent things when their older
[01:31.20]His only son is only 21
[01:35.00]and focus as a poet has only just begun
[01:38.04]Papa isn't dumb,he understands what this means
[01:40.85]Hisdream is my dream and my dream is his dream
[01:43.00]
[01:43.90][02:58.68][04:07.00]I close my eyes and i can see(history)
[01:49.78][03:04.71][04:13.01]The sacrifices he made for me(history)
[01:55.73][03:10.37][04:18.70]Who will decide for his family(history)
[02:00.89][03:16.01][04:24.08]So ima keep it alive(yeah)
[02:06.00]
[02:06.16]And so he targeted to be the dream guardian
[02:09.60]Guarding it from anything and anyone who's harming it
[02:12.20]But in his heart he knows the hardest thing is
[02:14.68]giving up his dream and being all about his kids
[02:18.18]As he kisses the lips of his misses
[02:20.00]for 24 years going on the 25th
[02:23.01]He thinks to himself this alone is a wealth
[02:25.37]Better than anything that's bought and then sold on a shelf
[02:28.48]Sometimes a dream is all that we have
[02:31.34]We have to continue to dream
[02:34.37]Once it is lost amongst our thoughts
[02:37.59]What really are we? What are we?
[02:43.50]
[03:20.05]So he sits back at his desk
[03:23.82]Cracking his knuckles and back his neck
[03:26.28]Faxing a paper displaying his name
[03:28.20]on another application explaining the name
[03:31.68]Things that they should know but the things they don't
[03:34.51]All the things that distinguish him as an adult
[03:37.97]Over the phone he can never expose
[03:40.80]The roll that he choose
[03:42.13]The roll in his home
[03:44.12]And at home he is a leader, a father
[03:46.67]He'll prove it by using his son and his daughters
[03:49.61]In their life he'll be playing the part of the one who inspires
[03:53.86]The one we admire
[03:55.44]His only son is only 21
[03:57.57]and focus as a poet has only just begun
[04:00.70]Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means
[04:03.34]His dream is my dream and my dream is his dream
[04:28.50]
