Dear Dad
Ky-Mani Marley Lyrics
Dear God,
I have a letter here from me to dad,
and I want you to know it might be a little sad.
(Here it Goes)
Dear dad, I really didnt get to know you
Sometimes I sit and wonder and it makes me blue
But there is one memory that stays on the back of my mind
And this memory got me thinking bout you all the time
Oh Pa, I swear we miss you so
And I wish that you were here to see your boys grow.
And tell me story, bout you papa all the time
So when Im down and out, lonely or just feeling blue
All I do is think of you
The thoughts all erase my fears and drive my tears
Im just writing to let you know someone cares
Daddy I love you, I Love you, really really love you
Daddy I miss you, I miss you and I know my brothers and sisters do too
And I know you gave your love to the people
And some of whom you can trust they deceive you
But betrayal brings another day
At least thats what my mother say
And when Im thru I'll place this letter in the Bible
And Im gone pray to Jah to send his disciple
To deliver you this letter
It will make me feel better

Read Full BioKy-Mani Marley (born February 26, 1976, in Falmouth, Jamaica) is a Jamaican actor and reggae musician. He is the son of singer Bob Marley and table tennis champion Anita Belnavis, and the half-brother of Ziggy Marley. Marley's first appearance as musician took place in 1996 when he recorded Like Father Like Son, an album consisting of cover versions of some of his father's songs. His next album, 1999's "The Journey", received mass critical acclaim, and achieved relatively good sales. His 2001 album, "Many More Roads", was nominated for a Grammy for best reggae album. He lost to his brother Damian's album, "Halfway Tree".
In 2002 he played lead role (Biggs) in the film Shottas along with Spragga Benz, Paul Campbell, Louie Rankin, Wyclef Jean, Screechie Bop and many more. It is an original story that shows the life of a shotta/gangster on the streets of Jamaica and Miami.
He achieved even more success as a musician with a cover of Eddy Grant's Electric Avenue, in collaboration with the Fugees' Pras. He has also starred in several films, including Shottas in 2002 and as John the Baptist in the 2004 film Haven.
Remaining true to his Jamaican culture, Ky-mani's fondness for all genres of music influences the work he creates. Ky-mani is an artist with no limits. Incorporating world music, hip hop, blues, rock and a grass roots sound into his music, the end product is the pure representation of life for Ky-mani. The Ky-mani Marley sound is one that transcends cultural lines and prohibits him from being categorized as only a reggae artist. His raw, unadulterated, gruff sound captures the listener and reverberates the essence of Ky-mani's life story.
Ky-mani launched his latest album "Radio" in 2007. The album features several key singles including One Time, The March and Conversation among others. All of the songs contain Marley’s unique sound of classical reggae beats mixed with contemporary hip hop. Also featured on the CD are some of today’s hottest artists including Young Buck, Mya and Gail Gotti.

Love this song I didn't have my dad growing up I have now thankfully he didn't die but he didn't come into my life you know after I was an adult so this song still spoke to me in ways I can't even explain because it was like he was dead for so long that's all I heard were stories I'm 30 now and have met my father and I'm very lucky I wish that it could have been different for them
