On an Instagram post from Easy Mo Bee, Easy Mo Bee made the claim that 7 Aurelius tried to steal his production credits for “Dear Father.”
[7 Aurelius] tried to steal my credit… If you bring a track to the table and somebody adds keyboards to it, what is that? Co-production. If I pull my track out...
[Verse 1]
I've been sittin' right here, waitin' on the day you call
Just sittin' here, thinking of your voice, your song
But it seems so clear all I have is memories
The apple don't fall, too far from the tree
Sometimes my tears never hit my pillow
I want him back, I need him back
Seems I'm on the wrong track
But I know he taught me better than that
I want him back, I need him back
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
[Verse 2]
He used to sing to me
Oh how he made me smile
But when he went away
My blue skies all turnеd to clouds
They turned to clouds
But becausе of you, your little girl is a woman now
Your little girl is a woman now
I want him back, I need him back
Seems I'm on the wrong track
But I know he taught me better than that
I want him back, I need him back
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
[Bridge]
Dear father I love you, I need you
I miss you so much, wanna see you
And I'm not mad and I understand
I don't care, guess it's what god planned
You showed me how, you taught me well, you made me see
And I thank you, only you
Yeah, you, you
I love you, yeah
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
[Chorus]
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
Why did he have to go?
I don't know, said I don't know
His little girl wouldn't say, oooh
