Talk To Me
The love of my lifi just want you
To know that no matter whatno
Matter what you goin' through, no matter
What's happenin'no matter what people say
You're perfect you understand
Me? You're perfect
I look at your face and see flawlessness
Perfection, a wonderful and gorgeous kid
A gentle soul with a smile that radiates
A laugh that makes time stand still
And takes all pain away
But the doctor's say you need therapy
Using words like
"delayed development" and it's scaring me
And now they saying it's autism
To me that means you just
Unique like all God's children
You're not saying things that
You're used to
And you don't follow certain things that
You should be used to
Deep down, I feel like it's my fault
Cause a child doesn't just learn things
A child is taught
I feel I failed you as a teacher
Failed you a father
I'm trying so hard to reach ya
Mommy and I will try our best to guide you
And one day you will let out all
The gifts that are inside you
You are the reason that my heart should beat
So you don't never have to talk to me
Cause daddy knows what you're saying
Even if you don't speak
I'll be here when you ready
I'll be here when you ready my love
And I hope you don't mind that
I put this on a record
But I love you so much I
Had to put this on record
I promise you'll never be given
Up on or neglected and daddy would die first
Before you're disrespected
And yeah, some folks may chatter
But as long as you happy baby
Boy that's all that matters
All these doctors and hospitals is heavy
You look at me like, "Daddy
I'm cool i'ma talk when I'm ready"
We live in a society quick to diagnose
But what they don't see is the
Person I see at home
And that is my son, a magical soul
So words don't matter here
Cause when he needs me I know
And God don't make mistakes or accidents
But I know one day we
Gon' look back at this, we passing this
But this ain't no race we go at your pace
Take your time
Don't worry we'll wait my love
My love
I admit, your mother and I are scared
We were somewhat aware but we
Both feel a bit unprepared
The tears we shared because you is so loved
And your mama's strength is helping
Us out so much
She's making the appointments and
Doing the research
And daddy just praying every day
'til his knees hurt
We don't want you to feel upset
Your pain is ours
The thought alone just hurts my chest
Yeah you need less sugar and better rest
To be around kids your own age and
Not left to the TV set
We just don't want it hard for you
I wrote this song for you
But I know ain't nothing wrong with you
Uh huh there ain't nothing wrong with you
Boy not at all minor setback
You know what I'm saying? That's it baby
That's it we keep it moving i
See a genius when I look at your
Face you my everything my heart
