Father

歌詞

Talking - I swear to tell the truth n nuthing but the truth. So help me God I just felt like telling the story of my life. Felt like maybe Somebody would be inspired ya know. We all feel pain. We all go through things But it's time to overcome all of that. VERSE 1: Your plane crashed down in the water and everybody died Would you drown on purpose or try to survive? I was born handicapped my arm wouldnt move They called me a cripple, pops caught and attitude Beat moms smoke lots drove trucks My moms had a miscarriage he didnt give a f**k He sniffed some coke come home he beat up moms for talking on the phone CHORUS: All I ever wanted all I ever needed was a father Thats all (THATS ALL) All I ever wanted All I ever needed waaaaas (WAS A FATHER) was a father VERSE 2: Moms got tired of the beatings said "yo we gots to go" Packed up the bags we bounced out the door She said "I aint take these whippings no more I wanna live to see my little child grow" I remember tear drops on my pops face Looking down at me standing at me on the staircase Hand to mother with a smooth goatee Make me wonder we he acted so ugly Ya feelin me? (ya feelin me?) REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 3: My pops got drunk when me and my moms bounced Swigged some Jack Dans siffed up an ounce Grab the shot he left long out for Queens Possessed by a demon... A devil it seemed I was too young to understand the risks when your moms comes home from a midnight shift. she turned around hear the shotgun click My pops said "you think you can leave me?" (Leave me?) He blasted my moms in the back she fell down screaming I cant forget that My Grandfather tried to close the door He got shot 10 times in the stomach YO. Fo real REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 4: My head was spinning I aint never seen blood 4 years old this dont feel like love Anyway Pops disappeared Grandpops and moms healed up over the years This therapist got up in her head Led her to believe that without him she's be dead You know they fell in love with one another Everything seemed righ thats word to mother (Word to mother) Until i started getting beatings everyday sometimes for going outside to play Late at night on my knees i'd pray Young child wishing the pain would go away Dad where was you when he made me strip Beat me wit belts like a slave wit a whip Kicked me down steps outside in the snow Punched me in the chest knocked me out on the floor Thats just the tip of the iceburg look its too long for a song but perfect it for a book Word is bond, thats real baby REAPEAT CHORUS TIL FADE I AINT MAD ATCHU DAD I AINT MAD I AINT MAD ATCHU DAD NOW YOU FEEL ME I AINT MAD ATCHU DAD NAH I AINT MAD ATCHU IT'S ALL GOOD LIVE LON, BE STRONG TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS (is a father) IMMA TAKE CARE OF MINE (thats all i ever wanted) PEACE (thats all i ever needed) NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER WHAT NEVER GIVE UP OVERCOME THE PAIN KEEP THE FAITH BE FAITHFUL TO GOD KEEP STRIDING
