Yeah, Its all good, I'm doing better without you (nooo)
|
Anyway, But its funny, we look just alike (just like you)
|
|
[1st Verse]
|
Everyday that i look in the mirror
|
A reflection of someone I don't remember
|
But I heard that he was something special
|
To someone that I hold so dear to me (momma)
|
(She said he was a singer) Oh he could sing yeeaah
|
But he used it to abuse a lot of women
|
Now your seed was a he and that seed is now me
|
And I love my son (forever) and my son loves me (me)
|
And I know that its painful but I wish you could see
|
|
[Chorus]
|
That a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
|
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
|
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
|
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
|
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
|
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
|
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
|
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
|
|
[Bridge]
|
Was never there for me (no no)
|
How could you betray me
|
Broke up the family tree
|
What about me
|
What about me
|
|
[2nd Verse]
|
Now I hear that you wanna see me
|
But I can't let it go not that easy
|
See a man only knows what he feels
|
And I feel that I can't trust you
|
Keep it real, I don't need you
|
And I can't think that you would think I would ever be like you
|
Cause its sad that you're my dad
|
And I don't know you
|
Even when I see you
|
And to my son, I could never leave you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
That a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
|
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
|
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
|
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
|
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
|
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
|
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
|
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
|
|
[Breakdown]
|
You was never there
|
Probably didn't care
|
That you had a son
|
While you on the run
|
Never thought that twice of being in my life
|
Cause you broke a happy home
|
Why you leaving us alone
|
Never gave a damn to find out who I am
|
Its to late for you to communicate
|
You was never there
|
Probably didn't care
|
That you had a son
|
While you on the run
|
|
[Chorus]
|
That a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
|
When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
|
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
|
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
|
Cause a man is what I am, Tho you didn't give a damn
|
When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
|
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya
|
So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways
|
|
Don't make me, don't make me, don't make me
|
Turn out like him
|
Ohhhhh, never gonna be like you
|
Never gonna walk, talk like you noo
|
