TOUGH LOVE AND BASKETBALL - #THERAPYTHURSDAYS

📅 #TherapyThursdays — Kendrick Lamar’s “Father Time” 📝

H2TW: Hip-hop Therapeutic Writing

In his powerful track “Father Time,” Kendrick Lamar reveals how his dad used street basketball as a metaphor for resilience:

“Daddy issues made me learn losses, I don't take those wellMomma said, ‘That boy is exhausted,’ he said, ‘Go f** yourself’If he give up now, that's gon’ cost him, life’s a b**h.”

Let’s pause and unpack this...

🧠 Was the dad’s response to the mom appropriate? Why or why not?

💬 Have you ever had a co-parent disrupt your “tough love” moment with your child?👀 What do you think the child learned about life from that interaction?

These moments shape how we love, fight, and feel. At H2TW, we help people—especially dads and students—process moments like these through writing, reflection, and hip-hop healing.
