Still Got Love For You
is a classic too, and my favorite of the two records, that was a special time in the Roc era, Jay opening way up on records with Beanie Sigel's crazy ass, in ways he rarely did outside of maybe two tracks.
My Dad was essentially an absentee Dad too, so I used to really feel this one, when i was young. I had that same kind of feeling, like where is my Dad. He was just never home.

Dynasty album, track 16, listeners fret
I can't take back that sixteen
shyt the truth spoke, I gotta give the world true quotes
Can you feel it? I know the truth hurts
They say, "How can he disrespect his pop with harsh curses?"
Simple - harsh life, harsh verses
"I can't believe the mouth of this prick
He said put his mouth on his dikk, "
I know we gotta talk bout that, I know you salt bout that
You on the tip like I don't like you
I got four kids, three baby mothers, I'm just like you
Sometimes I wanted to just fight you, shyt
Swing on you - think I'm playin man, I'm just like you
I was a kid with a puzzle
With missing pieces tryin to put it together dawg, you put it together
You made me have to foot through the weather
In the storm with no raincoat
I don't only speak on me, I speak upon the kids in the same boat
Ridin the same water, same situation
Same fatherless daughter - I hate you, that's in your mind
Don't get caught up in the rhyme
You think I dissed you now, that I don't miss you now
Don't be a hater now, be glad I made it now
I know I probably rubbed you the wrong way
But fukk what the song say, for the record, check it
Bruh then that virus hit and is was third punch of the combo…FLAWLESS VICTORY…FATALITY…BROAD STREET BULLY WINS
That nikka said he thought money was white. Beans use to really be Wildin
I think you misunderstood me the first time...
Listen, that was my hurt in my heart talking, along with the truth
I would thirst often as a youth, 'cause of you the person
Mom's nursing self-esteem issues
Round the house it's hard to find a clean tissue, minus her tears
To rewind this time I promise I'd minus my years
To the day to take the pain away
Seemed sunny outside, always rained on Jay
Pop you my umbrella, come help your son with the weather
Soon we come together like man and man and build
Play spades, cards face up, I've come to deal
In order to get right we gotta deal with this wrong
And the pain I felt all my life you feel in the song
Your lack of warmth left a chill in the morn'
Your lack of love left me loveless, and I'm of your breath
I'm your mind, body, and soul, your heart, your flesh
Your alcohol, your smoke, it results I'm a mess
And Dad, still I love you no less Dad
Hope you didn't think success would make me less mad
But not mad, just disappointed, we wasted years
I swear to God, may you take me away from here
If you taught me anything
The one thing you taught me is to face my fears, coward
How could you let me grow without you?
Grind in this rap game, take dough without you?
Wear my Pro-Keds close to the sole without you?
Family pictures pose without you
Why?! Why shouldn't I be mad?
Monster's parents separated, Monster had his Dad
B's parents had they problems, he still came to the pad
He bought 'em new bikes, imagine what that felt like
Used to have to bump my head to go to sleep at night
nikka you did me wrong but the love is strong
Let's move on
That kinda rawness and vulnerability gave me chills and choked me up and still does.

Love both Jay and Beanie verses, when I am/or was angrier, I would like the Sigel one more, but the Jay one got closer to how complicated it gets for a kid whose Dad is absent, but you still do love them, somehow, someway, and Jay just captured that more mature and complex view effortlessly in one verse. When I was like 14/15 when The Reason came out, and then 17, 18, it was like I didn't care anymore, didn't want to see him, didn't answer his calls. And Jay kind of explains that too.
Monsters parents separated, Monster's had his Dad/B's parents had they problems, he still came to the pad
Like if you asked me how I felt about my Dad, that verse right there says it all.
Last 4 songs on The Reason were an all time high for Beanie

That’s why I feel like Beans was that piece that Jay always needed. Beans jumped out there and talked that shyt and it seemed like Jay said “fukk that if he can do it, I can too. He did it before Beans but once Beans got there he showed it a lot more often.
