[00:05.33]Yeah
[00:09.25]Yeah
[00:09.59]Look I just shed tears homie
[00:11.61]And no I ain't too proud to admit it
[00:13.38]Just seen my father for the first time in a minute
[00:16.03]When I say a minute I mean years man
[00:18.23]D**n a whale could have swam in them tears fam
[00:20.75]'Cause as I left 'em I reflected on my younger days
[00:23.43]When it was just me and my brother and my mother played
[00:25.82]Father 'cause no other man bothered
[00:27.49]Not even my biological it never seemed logical
[00:30.47]But I accepted it 'cause I ain't know no better
[00:32.74]Thought I was brighter than a Polo sweater
[00:34.66]No pops was like Martin with no Coretta
[00:36.64]So many things you could have told me
[00:38.32]And saved me the trouble of letting my mistakes show me
[00:40.75]I feel like you barely know me
[00:42.47]And that's a shame 'cause our last name is the same
[00:45.00]That blood type flowing through our veins is the same
[00:47.38]My mama left you and it may be that anger's to blame
[00:49.93]But that's no excuse only you and God know the truth
[00:52.44]On why you only called monthly barely ever saw me
[00:55.58]Spend some summers with you and played with my cousin Maury
[00:58.24]Maybe I should be telling you"f**k you" 'cause you selfish
[01:00.86]But I want a father so bad I can't help but
[01:03.20]Break down
[01:05.59]I break down
[01:07.96]Can't help but break down
[01:10.87]I break down
[01:12.43]Yeah I never thought I'd see my mama on that s**t man
[01:15.72]It's f**king with her body now she sick d**n
[01:18.53]I wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a pool
[01:21.56]Who would have ever thought that it would come to this man
[01:24.15]Quicksand is what this life feel like
[01:27.03]That s**t these rappers kick is nothing like real life
[01:29.54]You made a milli off of serving hard white
[01:31.65]Yeah right
[01:31.97]My mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like
[01:34.70]Stupid n***as I heard the cops be shooting n***as
[01:37.96]I swear to God wish I could bulletproof my n***as

[01:42.88]We trying to stand tall when it get too crucial n***as

[02:26.64]Now will his girl stay down
[02:30.21]Ain't no doubt she love him yeah that's for sure
[02:32.12]But temptation stays round
[02:35.34]And if she strayed how could he ever know
