Potpourri

I guess in the end I
Didn't let my dad down. I
Thought that I would, I'm
Tryna make my dad proud but
I don't know who I'm 'posed to be
I wish that I was bold as he
I guess in the end I
Didn't let my dad down. I
Thought that I would, I'm
Tryna make my dad proud but
I smell my fear, I know it reeks
I think that he got potpourri

I am just like him
They call me 2.0
But if Adam is Jim I didn't get his poise so
I'm no clone
I thought I'd be when I was grown
But when he was 23
He was working for the POTUS
He was saving all the soldiers
They sent him letters of thanks
I got a BA in theater but still can't quote Willy Shakes
And now I'm taking a gap year
I know it's probably a mistake
But I'm afraid to grow up
I call it folly, but it's fate
So I told my dad begrudgingly
Only 'cause my momma spilled the beans of what I'm gonna be
Doing, I expected him to talk to me like, Guess that we
Had this plan and now you sabotaging your destiny
Man, whatchu doing
But he pulled me closer
Somehow, though it was a phone call
Said, I love you as you are
You don't gotta be no more
And my favorite adventure has been watching you grow all these years
Grow with God, and grow with me, and on your own dawg

I guess in the end I
Didn't let my dad down I
Thought that I would, I'm
Tryna make my dad proud but
I don't know who I'm 'posed to be
I wish that I was bold as he
I guess in the end I
Didn't let my dad down I
Thought that I would, I'm
Tryna make my dad proud but
I smell my fear, I know it reeks
I think that he got potpourri
