Lyrics Father Figure - TJ Porter

Father Figure

Squat made the beat
Go Grizz
Winners Circle
Father figure
I never met me a harder nigga
You wasn’t there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, nigga
Father figure
I never met me a harder nigga
You wasn’t there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, nigga
In the field, it’s so cold
You suposed to be with me
But you movin' different and you movin' too bold
And that shit hit me, yeah, it hurt me, felt it all in my soul
Did you even want me?
Yeah, that’s one thing that I wanted to know, yeah
The streets raised me, I did it all on my own
You crazy, nigga, you left me alone
I had to learn me the struggles of being a man, you know it
I got a chopper, was tryna run me up them bands, yeah, yeah, yeah
This shit is sad, the way that you move, you know I ain’t feelin' that
Now you’re missing your kid, you wish you was here, but no, I ain’t hearin' that
Me and mama, we was struggling crazy, seem to call on the daily
Dead broke and nobody could save me, hit the world screamin', «Pay me»
If I have me a kid, you know that I’m stayin', it’s never a choice
Had to turn to a man, the music and pain, it gave me a voice
Shit is so cold, hurt me in my soul
You lost your kid forever, I’ma let you know
Father figure
I never met me a harder nigga
You wasn’t there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, nigga
Father figure
I never met me a harder nigga
You wasn’t there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, nigga
In the field, it’s so cold
You suposed to be with me
But you movin' different and you movin' too bold
And that shit hit me, yeah, it hurt me, felt it all in my soul
Did you even want me?
Yeah, that’s one thing that I wanted to know, yeah
Times change
I grew up, don’t care if you don’t come around no more, my brain
Is programmed to see when you walkin' up out of the door
I had to go after school, was actin' real cool, but that shit was fuckin' me up
I had to fight and pick up a gun in the streets, but that shit just toughened
me up
Then mama, she had met a man
Swear to God he showed me a hundred bands
Swear that I was on the run
But we held it down, he took care of the fam
I done been through it all
Gunshots, but it started with brawls
Seein' dead bodies lay on the floor
Man, I swear that I been through some wars
When I walk through the streets, I gotta look over my shoulder
I had beef with some niggas who wasn’t just fighting, I bought me a toaster
Then pops found the gun in my room, ain’t tell mama, no, he never told her
He showed me how to put it to use, and said, «Nigga, you gettin' older,» yeah
Father figure
I never met me a harder nigga
You wasn’t there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, nigga
Father figure
I never met me a harder nigga
You wasn’t there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, nigga
In the field, it’s so cold
You suposed to be with me
But you movin' different and you movin' too bold
And that shit hit me, yeah, it hurt me, felt it all in my soul
Did you even want me?
Yeah, that’s one thing that I wanted to know, yeah
