Lyrics
Aye
I ain't got no pride
They say pride comes before the fall
It's like I'm living happy now
My daughter saying, "I love you, daddy" now, and it kinda juice me up
Let the band play My daddy didn't know his daddy
He wasn't much of a daddy to me
It wasn't all his fault
He wasn't taught, and that just added to it
Coma from a bike wreck
Hold up, hold up, mic check, before I pour my
Soul out for some folks that I ain't twice met
I never saw my parents together
I got one picture
When you get one side of the story, you most likely got some issues
Always told I look just like 'em
Same demons I fight
Can't believe the pain won't leave
It's the same reason I'm writing
Ah
I better do better now and forever
Never say never
I never say no
My daughter will be spoiled rotten if I let her
Yeah
Damn near cried from what Kiaya told Roy in the letter
Free Roy
Once they old enough to miss you and you
No longer together, that's regretful
It'll tear you apart
Hurt you in the worst way
Missing them first and them birthdays
Mm
Recitals, games, and them field days
Ah
Gotta be there, they scared of prom day
I can still hear my mom say, "We don't need him
Look, we straight
Made it this far with no child support
And he don't pay bills where we stay
Plus he cheated while I was still pregnant with you
So what happened next was just an excuse." Ha, ha, ha
I think she see him when she looking at me
I grew up having to deal with that, too
Damn
It ain't like I'm still five years old, you know?
It ain't like I'm gonna be sitting up every night
Asking my mom, "When's daddy coming home?" You know?
Who needs him?
To hell with him
I'll be a better father than he ever was and I sure as
Hell don't need him for that, because there ain't a damn
Thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids
How come he don't want me, man?
Got to forgive yourself first
Had to be there, so I left work
Come to find out if your heart empty
It don't matter what your net worth
Living for a social network
Dying for the attention
I'm enjoying my truth even though y'all lies look so convincing
I've been dancing to Baby Shark
When she go to sleep, I watch Ozark
More to life than going live
I'd rather go to the park
Can't lie, I'm tired of Elmo, but she can't tell though
Face that look just like me, act just like me, that I can't tell?
No
Told her mama I hate her
Ah
That's how I felt though
Deep down wishing we could all just stick together like Velcro
My last fling had daddy issues, so she
Looked for love in the Chanel store
Just like street niggas my father figures
So I grew up wanting to sell dope
Hm
No patience
Anyone can make a baby
Take a man to be a real father
I done learned a lot from a little toddler
That's real
Leave it to me and she will prosper
You a deadbeat, then we ain't partners
Nah
Can't keep causing these same problems
Dad issues
