Willie Faulk - Dad Tax Lyrics

Check on your father
Cause he ain't doing great
May be unhappy and he
Struggle heavy due to weight
That's on his shoulders
Everyday he gotta prove he great
Not to everybody else
But to himself it's too innate
And he see failures not an option
But it come and go
Usually it stay the night and grow
It's like a cloud of smoke
He inhale every negative and hold
Cause he can't let it go
Or take a deep breath cause if he do
Then he may choke
And that's the pressure that he chose
So that don't mean that he don't want it
That don't mean that he regrets
He just stress tryna give you
Everything that he have left
And that's his best
But he don't focus on himself
It's nothing left
So when he running through his thoughts
He out of breath
And they say be a man
He don't ever cry but that's a lie
May not ever see a tear
Cause they inside and he won't
Let you see him fold
Cause you the apple of his eye
So if he quiet somethings broke
And he just tryna fix it right
Cause that's his job
And he love you more than life itself
But sometimes he gets overwhelmed
Cause he's afraid to fail
And really that's harder to say
Than reaching out for help
Cause really he just want the strength
To do it by himself
And everything that he accomplish
He seem unimpressed
Nothing that he do is ever good enough
And he obsess
With tryna make you proud
And prove that he is not a mess
And everyday's another test
Let me tell you that's
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
He just search his whole life
For a piece of mind
And give you everything he's got
Till he's out of time
And the only real cut
That he care about
Is to know his own kids
Made a better life
Dad tax Dad tax
Check on your father
Cause he may need a hand
He may have something on his mind
But he don't see the chance
To tell you
You may understand
But you don't even know it
You too busy making other plans
And that is what he wanted
Always told you go be better
Than he can he just hope
That he taught you what he know
And you learn from what he don't
And then maybe come back home
When you grown
He won't say it
But he maybe feel alone
Cause he gave you the best pieces
Of his soul so you could grow
And he may feel undeserving
Pressure of expectations
Work until he sleep
And then worry that he ain't taking
Enough time to be a father
And build a better foundation
With some financial freedom
To take a couple vacations
Just to make some better memories
Cause he ain't grow up easy
He afraid he may repeat the scene
The future is forgiving
But the the past it don't have empathy
And neither does society
No wonder why some fathers
Will struggle with their sobriety
It's just another battle fought internally
When all he ever wanted
Was some certainty
But that's okay he built for this
He Hercules
And he just want what's best for you
So he won't stop for nothing
If it hurt to breathe
Through blood sweat and perjury
Just know his mind is working
But don't work for free
The price he pay up everyday
Is burdening
But ain't nobody worrying
Cause daddy gotta do it
Ain't no mercy plea
The fact that we don't speak on this
Absurd to me
Let me tell you that's
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
Dad tax
Dad tax Dad tax
He just search his whole life
For a piece of mind
And give you everything he's got
Till he's out of time
And the only real cut
That he care about
Is to know his own kids
Made a better life
