Papa'z Song
Daddy's homeSo, you say that like that means somethin' to meYou've been gone a mighty long motherfuckin' timeFor you to be comin' home talkin' that daddy's home shitWe been gettin' along fine just without youMe, my brother and my motherSo if you don't mind, you can step the fuck off, pops, fuck youHad to play catch by myself, what a sorry sightA pitiful plight, so I pray for a starry nightPlease send me a pops before pubertyThe things I would do to see a piece of family unityMoms always work, I barely see herI'm startin' to get worried without a pops I'll grow to be herIt's a wonder they don't understand kids todaySo when I pray, I pray I'll never grow to be that wayAnd I hope that he answers meI heard God don't like ugly, well, take a look at my familyA different father every weekendBefore we get to meet him they break up before the week endsSongtexteI'm gettin' sick of all the friendshipsAs soon as we kick it he done split and the whole shit ends quickHow can I be a man if there's no role model?Strivin' to save my soul I stay cold drinkin' a Forty bottleI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this timeI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this time, so sorry babyMoms had to entertain many menDidn't wanna do it but it's time to pay the rent againI'm gettin' a bit older and I'm startin' to be a botherMoms can't stand me 'cause I'm lookin' like my fatherShould I stay or run away, tell me the answerMoms ignores me and avoids me like cancerGrow up rough and it's hard to understand stuffMoms was tough 'cause his poppa wasn't man enoughCouldn't stand up to his own responsibilitiesInstead of takin' care of me, he'd rather live lavishlyThat's why I'll never be a fatherUnless you got the time it's a crime don't even botherThat's when I started hatin' the phony smilesSaid I was an only child, look at mama's lonely smileIt's hard for a son to see his mother cryShe only loves you but has to fuck with these other guysI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this timeI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this time, so sorry babyMan child in the promised land couldn't afford many heroesMoms was the only one there my pops was a no-showAnd oh, I guess ya didn't know that I would grow to be so strongLookin' kinda pale, was it the ale or pops was wrong?Where was the money that you said you would send me?Talked on the phone and you sounded so friendlyAsk about school and my welfareBut it's clear you ain't sincere and who the hell caresYou think I'm blind but this time I see you comin', JackYou grabbed your coat, left us broke, now ain't no runnin' backAsk about my moms like you loved her from the startLeft her in the dark, she fell apart from a broken heartSo don't even start with that wanna be your father shitDon't even bother with your dollars I don't need itI'll bury moms like you left me all alone GNow that I finally found you, stay the fuck away from meI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this timeI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this time, so sorry babyI never meant to leave but I was wantedCrossed too many people every house I'd touch was hauntedHad to watch the strangers every brother was in dangerIf I was to keep you breathin', had to be out of rangeHad to move, one to lost my name and pick the numberMade me watch my back I had no happy home to run toMaybe it's my fault for being a father livin' fastBut livin' slow, mean half the dough why don't you get some assHindsight shows me it was wrong all alongI wanted to make some dough so you would grow to be so strongIt took a little longer than I thoughtI slipped, got caught and sent to jail by the courtsNow I'm doin' time and I wish you'll understandAll I ever wanted was for you to be a manAnd grow to be the type you was meant to beKeep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to meI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this timeI'm so sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this time, so sorry, babySorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this timeI am sorryFor all this timeFor all this timeFor all this time, so sorry, babySorryI'm so sorryI'm so sorryI'm so sorryI'm so sorryI'm so sorryI'm so sorry
