letra de just like you - l drama

lyrics:
dear dad
this is just a thank you from your boy
i’m growing up into a man
and everyday i’m filled with joy
i know we haven’t been too close
but you were there to see me grow
and all the days when we were poor
you’d work your ass to bring the dough
and in school when i was bullied
you would march down to the playground
‘if they hit you, hit back’ was your advice
‘hit em all’ you would always make me laugh
when i was sad or even crying
and take me to the park
and teach me how to ride a bike in
that garden by your work
‘i’m faster than you, look!’
you’re laughing at my stabilisers
underneath my foot
and maths was a challenge
i was never really good
that was something that i struggled with
so i gave you the book
so you could do it all for me
and get the questions wrong
you didn’t get it either
‘see i’m i’m not the only one!’
and i know that you were stressed
because you and mum were arguing
i didn’t understand but i was young
and didn’t ask of it
‘dad, i wanna be a singer
i wanna see my name in lights’
‘then you never give up
you gotta work hard every day and you can make it
mum and i will help you when we can go and take it’
‘but dad what if-‘
‘no. don’t give me any if’s
it’s gotta make you happy, that’s the way you’ve gotta live
i wanna see this greek, chinese boy
become the worlds first
singer rapper who’s relentless with his work’
and so i took his word
but things don’t always come
on my 21st birthday i had to help my mum
cos we couldn’t afford
to pay the mortgage for this month
so i sent her all my savings that i could from my funds

but i’m still a believer i wanna be just like you
we’re on this journey together just me and you
no matter what comes around
know we get through
i wanna make you proud
i wanna be just like you

remember then i had a mental breakdown
the world began to look like a different kind of playground
what’s going on i can’t stop shaking and it’s weird
my girlfriend at the time was tryna’ hold back shedding tears
and i’ve been calling but you’re no where to be seen
maybe everything we had was just another of my dreams
i’m begging please
someone get these feelings just to stop
uncontrollably shaking and now it feels i’m bout’ to drop

i start to wake inside the hospital
you’re no where to be seen
my mums been by my bedside
for so long she fell sleep
she found the letter that i wrote you
and she opened it to see
that this letter was about her
she said, ‘ dad, must be me?’
i told her

but i’m still a believer i wanna be just like you
we’re on this journey together
just me and you
no matter what comes around
know we get through
i wanna make you proud i wanna be just like you

you see
‘dad didn’t leave me a letter
dad was too busy getting high
tryna’ snort cocaine
drug addict with a hole through his nose
for the cake
that’s the most that i got for my birthday
he doesn’t know what i do for a living
he doesn’t know if i’m even fine
here’s the saddest part, mum
it’s been so long
for all he knows, i could’ve died
24 years i ain’t seen your face
we never did maths
we never did play
you never came to my school
cos i had no dad, no man
that story’s fake
my mum did all of that on her own
man look at me, man you’re a joke
i hear your voice on the end of the phone
and you don’t feel real i’ve been missing that ghost
you f-cking idiot it’s about time you should know
my mums the og she would die for me, go
you f-cking c-nt i hope you f-cking burn in h-ll and stay there
and i’m glad you’re not in my life you disappointing loser

love you mum
