Gb Bbm Ab Ab Fm [Verse 1] Gb I'm writing this letter to tell you I miss ya Bbm The kids' doing better, we hold it together Ab Saw Joe yesterday Ab And he told me to tell ya, "to stay strong my bro" Fm He said, "don't let them stress ya" Gb Alicia starts school in a couple of weeks Bbm And she so damn excited she's counting her sleeps Ab And I'll send you some pics in her new uniform Ab Fm I'm so sorry, my baby, it's taking so long now [Chorus] Gb Bbm Ab I'll come to visit you soon Ab Fm Soon Gb It's just, you know Bbm Ab I always got the kids in the afternoon Ab Fm Whooo [Verse 2] Gb And money's been low, so I'm doing whatever Bbm The car had to go, got two jobs in the summer Ab And while I remember, you know my girl, Stacy Ab Fm She found out she pregnant with twins, ain't that crazy? Gb And Kenny's still mad,but you know how it is, Bbm He'll come 'round eventually, don't take it personally Ab No right or wrong way for dealing with this Ab Fm Everyone's still just adjusting, I guess [Chorus] Gb Bbm Ab Yeah, I'll come to visit you soon Ab Fm Soon Gb It's just, you know Bbm Ab I always got the kids in the afternoon Ab Fm Whoo [Verse 3] Gb And sometimes I daydream that I'm at home cooking Bbm You come through the door and say, "hey there, good-lookin'" Ab I miss how you touch me, I miss how you love me Ab Fm And look how they robbed me, I hate how they robbed me Gb See Jake started speakin', his first word was, "truck" Bbm They say, "oh what surprise", just like father, like son Ab There's some days when the kids acting so fucking angry Ab Fm It's breaking my heart when they asking, "where's daddy?" [Chorus] Gb Bbm Ab Yeah, I'll come to visit you soon Ab Fm Soon Gb It's just, you know Bbm Ab I always got the kids in the afternoon Ab Fm Never know which way life 'gon come at you, never know... [Verse 4] Gb This life come at you fast, so buckle up, don't crash Bbm Plastic bags, packed them after class,just thinking bachelor pads Ab Ab Emotionally rich, physically broke, negative seeds get planted, spirits could grow Fm Kids shouldn't know about our altercations Gb Keep it verbal, told you I heard you Bbm Being nosey have you caught up in issues that don't concern you Ab I wish... I wish that time could speed up, see if you worth the time Ab Fm Pretend to be, fake enemies I've seen before, familiar kind Gb Yeah, I got your letter, ain't have time to read a million lines Bbm It's from the heart, I understand, but you clever within your mind Ab Vices I could never shake, options got a limit to 'em Shiesty from where the children ruined Fm I'm what the strip influenced Gb After-school you get the kids, wasn't there when I did my bit Bbm That's why you won't get to live with a Bad Boy, I did it B.I.G Ab Paid the rent, I kept you fresh, the crib was plush, I filled the fridge Ab Now we on some distant shit Fm You or her don't know which to pick
