Hey, daddy can you hear me?
 
 Can you see me? Can you free me?
 
 I'm shackled to your memory
 
 Am I everything you thought I'd be?
 
 The day you laid your armor down
 
 And took your last breath just keeps replaying now
 
 I'm doing my best to be strong for everyone around
 
 But tonight I'm breaking down
 
 Thinking 'bout the lessons you taught
 
 You got your point across with the ways you talked
 
 I watched you move mountains for me
 
 But then I watched you struggle to walk
 
 And every day burns like the last one
 
 Hope you forgive me for the times I was a bad son
 
 But Lord, you took my hero from me
 
 When you know I only had one
 
 
 That was my heart you broke
 
 That was my friend you stole
 
 That was the man that made me who I am
 
 Now you see this mask I wear
 
 Out in the sun's despair
 
 Goodbye plans and I guess I'll never understand
 
 
 Still my hero
 
 Still my hero
 
 Still my hero
 
 Still my hero
 
 
 Some days I sit and reminisce and I think of the past
 
 How do we lose something we love and it just happens in a flash?
 
 It's just the cycle of life, I swear it happened so fast
 
 You watched me take my first breath, I watched you take your last
 
 Last night I couldn't sleep so I got up and took me a ride
 
 I took a ride through Antioch, I smoked a joint, and I cried
 
 I watched you stare death in the face without a fear in your eyes
 
 You taught me how I should live, you taught me how I should die
 
 Wish I could have the strength you had as you laid there on that bed
 
 Staring at death, I remember every word that you said
 
 Without a hint of bitterness, you sat there shaking your head
 
 Laughing and telling stories about the life you had led
 
 While you was alive is when we gave you flowers
 
 You taught me love is the way a man stays in power
 
 You taught me always be brave and stay away from cowards
 
 I only wish that Heaven had visitation hours
 
 I can't lie, me and my brothers, we've been taking it hard
 
 Lately this is how it is, conversations with God is like-
 
 
 That was my heart you broke
 
 That was my friend you stole
 
 That was the man that made me who I am
 
 Now you see this mask I wear
 
 Out in the sun's despair
 
 Goodbye plans and I guess I'll never understand
 
 
 Still my hero
 
 Still my hero
 
 Still my hero
 
 Still my hero
