Message to My Father
[Verse]
My dad left my side when I was two
I could be a piece of shit and just blame it on you
Fuck walkin' in your footsteps, I make my own shoes (Shoes)
I ain't never had guidance, had to make my own rules, damn
I hate the fact that I even got your last name
I don't wanna carry that shit, it give me back pains (Back pains)
You had a shot to be a father, but had bad aim
Remember sittin' on a porch waitin' until my dad came
Times I sit back and just wish that you'd call
You ain't give child support or help with me at all
Growin' up, I had issues, I was livin' through flaws (Flaws)
You ain't never sat me down just to give me the talk (Talk)
I had to learn about sex all on my own (On my own)
I had to deal with this stress all on my own
And if it wasn't for Facebook, you wouldn't even know what I look like
To see how much I've grown, damn
I swear it's crazy how you ain't even bothered
Yeah you gave it your sperm, that don't make you a father
I bet you ain't even know I graduated with honors (Honors)
With hopes of bein' a kid that you can be proud of, damn
But still nothin' (Still nothin')
And that's probably the reason I don't feel nothin' (I don't feel nothin')
It's like I can't be pressed, I'm a stiff button
My dad side, I don't know none of my real cousins
I had a baby on the way, but you ain't never seen her face (Face)
All the shit you put me through, she'll never feel the same
'Cause you ain't gon' do shit but walk out on us anyway
When Fathers Day would pass, I'd be feelin' so ashamed
I got two daughters, they won't ever feel this pain
They won't ever feel this pain
I got two daughters, they won't ever feel this pain
