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 contol 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 unforgiveable
|
You call yourself a man your oldest son he had to learn from his sister
|
How to put a niggers fist up, how to fuck a niggers 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
