Daddy Please Come Back Home 2013 Kamal Imani (T.Oats)



Poppa, They say you was a rollin stone

Due to the pressures of society and post traumatic slavery syndrome

But there’s nothing worse than a good excuse

When… in a hostile environment your children are on the loose

The fact is Daddy…We need you here at home

And maybe you’re being neglectful

Because you think you’re unsuccessful

And we could all use a little money

But there’s something greater than that and that is L-O-V-E

I mean, even if you and mom can’t get along

She would at least secretly admire you for being where you belong

With your seeds

The ones who need

To see life from a perspective that’s masculine

To learn how to fall down and get back up again

That unique feeling of holding a strong mans hands

That laughter kids get from ticklin, that skill we inherit from playfighting

To see how you keep your head up in a world that beats you down

Everything will be ok daddy. We just need you home right now.

We’re in pain and our pain may one day translate into errors, mistakes and pathologies that will put us in situations that you ever could have imagined yourself to be in

In… your self perceived subconscious victimization.

We understand your pain, fear, self pity and frustration

We understand the world’s covert plan for your extermination

You coming home would help some innocent kid who really loves you

An at the same time help to rebuild a family, community and nation!

Daddy please…I know it’s hard

But I forgive you and so does God

You’re love, smile, wisdom and hug

Will mean the world to me

Please, not for one more day

Should you leave me alone

I’m begging you daddy

Please come back home

I love you! I miss you Your spittin image
