Songtext Learn you Joell Ortiz

Learn you

I know that I missed out on 'em
Sorry that I'm never there
I tried to get everything you want
I hope you know I really care
To learn you now, to learn you now
To learn you now, to learn you now
To learn you now, to learn you now
Let me learn, let me learn you now

I know that I missed out on 'em
Sorry that I'm never there
I tried to get everything you want
I hope you know I really care
To learn you now, to learn you now
To learn you now, to learn you now
To learn you now, to learn you now
Let me learn, let me learn you now

Had to chase this dream, I was on my grind
Working on my craft, took up all my time
I gotta be where? I'm there at the drop of a dime
But through all my travels, y'all stayed on my mind

My 2 lil boys, 2 pieces of me
My 2 looks in the mirror, my 2 reasons to be
Sorry I didn't go them places I needed to be
Trips that I missed with your school, games I ain't root for your team

Feels like yesterday, I would wake up to ya screams
Y'all was crying for bottles when did y'all turn into teens?
Tryna go mustaches, peach fuzz look clean
Ya voices got deeper, make sure you say what you mean

Happy y'all don't say y'all hate me, for all the time I was away
What good was was the toys if I never stayed there to play
I'm asking you both for forgiveness... can we start over today?
Y'all don't have to answer that now... I just wanted to say...

I know that I missed out on 'em
Sorry that I'm never there
I tried to get everything you want
I hope you know I really care
To learn you now, to learn you now
To learn you now, to learn you now
To learn you now, to learn you now
Let me learn, let me learn you now

I would stare at y'all pictures, on the bus after shows
It was rough on the road, must've been tougher at home
Even on the west I'm moving, but that the bus driver know
Find me that Western Union, I'd send ya mothers some dough...

I'd try to find time, whenever I was alone
Try to get y'all on the phone, just to see what's going on...
Y'all ain't lil boys no more, look at how much you have grown
My youngest one taller than me, my older's my skinnier clone

I know that I missed out on ya... Bothers me down to my soul
My lifestyle was outta control
Replace time with the money, trade that I tried to barter
So you daddy would pop up... but I ain't show up as yo father

Praying y'all let me change that, I have so much to offer
Life will come at you at god speed, please use my ears as the alter
I'm asking you both for forgiveness, can we start over today?
Y'all don't have to answer that now... I just wanted to say

I know that I missed out on 'em
Sorry that I'm never there
I tried to get everything you want
I hope you know I really care
To learn you now
To learn you now
To learn you now
Let me learn now now now now now...
