Peace of Mind

And every single morning he wake up to an alarm
 Wake his kids to go to school and sip his coffee in his car
 He had a 45 minute commute
 To get to work, hop in the truck, delivery route
 He'd drive around with dreams of winning the lotto
 While his wife was sitting scheming about sipping the bottle
 She'd bitch and scream and they would fight most nights
 After he worked a long day keeping on those lights
 He loved her though she loved liquor
 Loyal to a fault, his kids wonder why he stuck with her
 Thought if he kept the family together
 Something would change in her, thing would have to get better
 Stood by her til death when most wouldn't bother
 And if you still haven't guessed this man is my father
 He taught me loyalty and love so I respect that man
 The reason I'm the man I am
 I hope you find some peace of mind

 "I came here tonight
 I've yet to feel what could be called 'peace of mind'"
 I told myself there's no way I could watch it happen
 I'd have to leave the room and let the doctor's handle it and then come back in
 I've never been as wrong as that
 Look at that woman, no look at that powerful soul, I've never seen anyone be as strong as that
 They say the baby takes the father's image first
 I went back and checked the photo from my own birth
 It was identical
 He looks more like his mother now and that's more than exceptional
 Beyond the 'eat your vegetables and brush your teeth' talk
 I locked the balcony like 'what if he sleep walk?'
 Might sound ridiculous but that's just the icing on the cake
 No sugar for two years now all he wants is icing on the cake
 Peace of mind is a mystery but after true love
 Everything else prior misery
 I promise you creating life is a self fulfilling prophecy
 Born 11-11-11 shit I should play the slot machine
 I hope you find some peace of mind
