Hunter Dreww - rearview Lyrics

When i'm rapping my father think i'm up to no good
Joined the military now he thinks i'm where he stood
He's got a lot of land, lives in a house in the woods
Following his steps is something that he wish i would
He knows a lot but i don't think he truly knows his son
I really didn't know him until i was twenty one
And maybe that was too late, he never tied a shoelace
I've only known my roommate a couple years
And i can be more upfront with him than i can with my pops
If i cracked a couple cold ones with him and shared all my thoughts
He'd call me crazy for the path i'm taking cause its one he never walked
Unfamiliar so he's gone think its wrong
Always felt like he didn't believe in me and i don't know if i'm wrong
I don't feel i belong
I can't write a song when i'm under his roof cause the vibe always off
I don't even try no more, theres no life in the song
When we're sharing a space, cause i know he's never listened to a track of mine
But its more than that when memories are flashing by
Mama crying and she yelling and they're having fights
Just a boy watching his dad giving his family a last goodbye
In a hurry like he caught a glimpse of flashing lights
In the mirror of his beamer but its me and i'm just standing by
The curb he used to help me down, his hand in mine
Left me there just asking "why?"
Maybe you just didn't want a child
Now that i'm grown i relate
I couldn't imagine being responsible for a son or a daughter until they graduate
I don't know if i'm selfish or scared
But either way both them words to me feel the same
Thats why being a father is something i haven't signed for
At times I feel i barely have time for
The girl i love and music i grind for
My mother, sister and brothers i fight for
I couldn't add a life that i would have to love twice more
I've only barely learned to love myself
In the midst of trying to improve my wealth
Thats the only aspect my father could be a role model
He's seen the world like a globe trotter
But lost the chance to see me when i was still able to grow taller
I'm thankful for nights when me and moms only had cold water
Cause she always loved me when he was absent like had a doctors note
Hit us like adios
Gave me motivation to be on the heels of fame like Doctor Scholls
So focused on making cheese and bread like the Red Lobster rolls
Or biscuits, its business, i'm going the distance
To build a home at the top, its where i'm supposed to be, i'm not paying no visit
I don't pay attention to physics
All i know is i move fast and furious with no sign of a limit
With my father and haters up in the rearview
What you did to me, i can give to you.

When i'm rapping my father think i'm up to no good
