(Verse 1)
Ayo this one goes out to Danny Regan
On behalf of anyone who had the chance to meet him
Impacted from the moment I stuck out my hand to greet him
Laughin' uncontrollably at stories he was speakin'
Damn, so now we're mournin' that you've leaven
But more than that it's even worse to see your family greivin'
From losin' such a trustworthy loyal man of reason
And on that same court everyday I'd plan to see him
So as he would say "It is what it is"
You can't always win in life, you either hit or you miss
But always take the shot cause whether brick or a swish
He always did it out of love just like he did for his kids
And endlessly offer his comfort and help
A Father figure to his girls and many others as well
Plus an instant friend to anyone and every stranger
Reliable as any and dependable in nature
His time and generosity he'd lend you like a neighbor
And if you ever needed he'd extend to you a favor
Let his concise divine insight guide me
Worded philosophical life advice wisely
And always honestly explained how he felt
Without thinkin' in return what he could gain for himself
And never complained at the pain he was dealt
And even to the very end he still remained in good health
Nothin' not even as much as a chest cough
Just the loving impression and effort he left all
I look forward to rebounding the touch of your next ball
Until the next time when we pick up Where We Left Off
(Verse 2)
I'm not writing this because I thought that I should
But because it's affected me more than I thought that it would
Cause I would love to talk again and shoot the ball if I could
Cause you have that way about you that makes it all understood
Damn, that's why it's making me sad
Cause no matter who you have there's no replacing a Dad
Which I'm still grateful to have
And took for granted most the time but now I'm changing my act
So I'ma take this time to state to my Dad
What most don't say till it's too late and I'm not waitin' for that
So pardon me if I come off a bit strong
But I'ma try to live for now as if you're already gone
And thank you for the times you kept me out of harm
Along with too many other blessings to mention in a song
For every time that I was wrong I wish instead we got along
Yet do it still even though I'll regret it when you're gone
A Father's bond is a light that's never ending
But when their soul is gone it will likely feel depressing
Cause nothing lasts forever holding tightly till the ending
But even when something tragic happens life is still a blessing
So thank you for the times you kept me out of harm
Along with too many other things to mention in a song
A Father's bond is a light that's never ending
But when their soul is gone it will likely feel depressing
Cause nothing lasts forever holding tightly till the ending
But even when something tragic happens life is still a blessing
