Lyrics

[00:00.31] 'I wanna sing, I wanna shout
[00:04.51] I wanna scream till the words dry out
[00:08.93] So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
[00:14.41] They can read all about it, read all about it
[00:19.65] Oh
[00:22.44] Nothing to hide
[00:23.40] Strive for the smother
[00:24.62] Suffered and cried
[00:25.89] Strife made me tougher
[00:27.01] Never ...
[00:27.41] The trouble i rise above em
[00:29.09] Expectations to get rep
[00:29.95] Ain't never begged yet
[00:31.78] When I wanted to get pence, hustle,
[00:33.86] To be, I'm exactly what my neck says.. Lucky
[00:36.61] That sket said I tried to cash in on my Dad's death,
[00:39.76] I wanted to vent but I said fuck all
[00:41.69] After all you were never kin to me,
[00:43.62] Family is something that you never been to me,
[00:45.45] In fact making it harder for me to see my father was the only thing that
[00:49.10] You ever did for me
[00:50.32] I wanna sing, I wanna shout
[00:52.61] I wanna scream till the words dry out
[00:58.96] So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
[01:03.18] They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
[01:17.14] Dear dad..
[01:18.11] As a kid I looked up to you,
[01:20.90] Only thing was I never saw enough of you
[01:23.14] Last thing I said to you was I hated you,
[01:25.57] I loved you but now it's too late to say to you
[01:28.06] Just didn't know what to do and how to deal with it,
[01:30.70] Even now deep down I'm still livid
[01:32.89] To think, I used to blame me,
[01:35.33] I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me
[01:37.67] I wasn't even bad, life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride
[01:40.92] You never even got to see me rap,
[01:43.11] I just wish you woulda reached out,
[01:44.88] I wish you woulda been round when I been down
[01:47.98] I wish that you could see me now,
[01:49.71] Wherever you are I really hope you find peace
[01:51.49] But know that if I ever have kids,
[01:54.48] Unlike you I'll never let them be without me
[01:56.51] I wanna sing, I wanna shout
[02:00.93] I wanna scream till the words dry out
[02:05.35] So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
[02:10.69] They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
[02:17.81] I write songs i cant listen to,
[02:19.44] Everything I have, I give to you
[02:21.72] In every one of these lines I sing to you
[02:26.04] My job's more like public service
[02:27.31] My life just became yours to read and interpret
[02:29.54] If you heard it it'd come across a lot different at times
[02:32.84] I throw fits when I read how they word things
[02:35.33] You've see me smile
[02:37.62] Now you're gonna have to see me hurt
[02:40.11] Coz pretending everything is alright when it ain't, really isn't working
[02:44.37] I wanna sing, I wanna shout
[02:48.39] I wanna scream till the words dry out
[02:52.91] So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
[02:58.19] They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
[03:05.35] I ain't censoring myself for nobody
[03:07.08] I'm the only thing I can be,
[03:13.12] All that is good, all that is bad, all that is, me
[03:22.11] I wanna sing, I wanna shout
[03:26.89] I wanna scream till the words dry out
[03:31.81] So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
[03:37.60] they can read all about it read all about it oh
