everybody's askin' me lately
|
where i'm from
|
they wanna know what i've been through
|
and what dirt i've done
|
but man if i told you what i've seen and been through then you'd probably run off
|
you'd be scared of the truth
|
so instead in secret lined in chalk
|
you see i've been lost
|
ever since i could walk
|
lookin' for my daddy
|
and any one of momma's boyfriends who would talk
|
or listen to me when i spoke
|
instead of lookin' at me like a joke
|
or leavin' me behind, leavin' me to cry when he treated my momma like a ho
|
but i learnt quick
|
that my daddy wasn't never gonna come around
|
and i didn't give a shit
|
'cause me and my momma we held it down
|
no new kicks
|
first day of school i'm goodwill bound
|
but when you come from the trench
|
that's how you learn to walk around
|
so i don't give a fuck if you ever lay eyes on top of my new shoes homie
|
i just wanted you to know that i didn't need a dollar from you i got 'em myself
|
so if you find yourself in the middle of the floor with a bottle drinkin' yourself lonely
|
then you can keep up with me with the picture of me in the magazine on the shelf
|
turn the page
|
|
daddy can you see me?
|
i'm puttin' on a show
|
in the magazines
|
hear me on the radio
|
so what do you think (well i)
|
i hope that you're proud now
|
to watch it all go down
|
i'm sorry daddy
|
you didn't get to watch me grow
|
now i'm always on the road
|
no time to say hello (bye)
|
and i hope that you're proud now
|
to watch it all go down
|
|
yeah momma you look great
|
so perfect
|
be safe on your first date
|
that's for certain
|
if he brings you home too late
|
i'll hurt him
|
don't worry about me, i'm safe
|
i'll close the curtains
|
and i feel like i'm raising you
|
but what do i know, baby blue
|
all i know is that i was made in you
|
so i put all my faith in you
|
yeah i was only ten but i felt like a man, and i had to let you go
|
all i wanted was for us to be rich, teardrops in my cereal bowl
|
so i turned into a asshole
|
young and dumb
|
smokin' weed
|
vandalizin'
|
robbin' houses
|
stealin' cars
|
that was me
|
but everything i did i had to see
|
feel the pain
|
had to grieve
|
to become
|
who i am
|
and i'm proud of the man i came to be
|
'cause what i've learned could not be taught
|
what i've earned could not be bought
|
justified
|
deserve it all
|
so don't be concerned, it's not your fault
|
i never counted shit
|
i count my blessings
|
so if you see him now momma, don't give him the cold shoulder, give him my message
|
just tell him
|
|
daddy can you see me?
|
i'm puttin' on a show
|
in the magazines
|
hear me on the radio
|
so what do you think (well i)
|
i hope that you're proud now
|
to watch it all go down
|
i'm sorry daddy
|
you didn't get to watch me grow
|
now i'm always on the road
|
no time to say hello (bye)
|
and i hope that you're proud now
|
to watch it all go down
