Posted By: Mister O The Hip Hop Teacher on October 31, 2013 This is a message to all the Father's out there who are considered "Dead Beat Dad's". Your children want and need for you to come back home. Via the art of spoken word poetry with a hot hip hop beat, Spoken Word Performance Poet Kamal Imani articulates a childs pain and yearning for his father in a very real and in depth way. Check out. 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 Available on Bandcamp http://kamalimani.bandcamp.com/track/daddy...
