Father |
| I spent 23 years trying to be what you wanted me to be |
| Though it seemed like you couldn’t save me |
| 'Til I picked up the mic and I was on the TV |
| Now you’re ringing off my phone like every week |
| Where were you at 6, 7, 11 and 13 |
| When shit was impossible |
| Mama left nine months pregnant |
| But she came home alone from the hospital |
| How could you call yourself a man |
| If you can’t love your own unless you can control them |
| You’d rather destroy their souls and she was 13 years old |
| And you could’ve protected the innocence from being stolen |
| And I don’t give a damn what you was going through |
| When mama wasn’t able to put food on the table |
| You left the family unstable |
| Now you come around acting like you want some kind of appraisal |
| You can’t play like you daddy now |
| And you can’t claim shit 'cause you weren’t around |
| And you can’t get mad but what can you do? |
| You can’t tell me shit, I’m grown without you |
| I spent 23 years trying to be the fucking man you should be |
| Taking care of your responsibility |
| Putting clothes on our back and shoes on our feet, no help |
| But you always had your bag of weed |
| Where were you at 12, 13, 14 and 15 |
| When life was unliveable, momma was so damn angry |
| The way she treated me was unforgivable |
| You call yourself a man, your oldest son |
| He had to learn from his sister how to put a nigger’s fist up |
| How to fuck a nigger’s shit up and knock out any motherfucker |
| That had come and tried to diss us |
| And I don’t give a damn what you was going through |
| And I needed saving, I spent my every second blazing |
| A little girl with a blade and trying to fuck up |
| And take my life just wanted to dig my grave and |
| You can’t play like you daddy now |
| And you can’t claim shit 'cause you weren’t around |
| And you can’t get mad but what can you do? |
| (Now what you gonna do?) |
| You can’t tell me shit, I’m grown without you |
| You can’t play like you daddy now |
| And you can’t claim shit 'cause you weren’t around |
| And you can’t get mad but what can you do? |
| (You can’t do a damn thing) |
| You can’t tell me shit, I’m grown without you |
| I’m grown without you, I’ve grown without you |
| Can’t, can’t come and come and tell me, do not |
