I be at the mall, walk up at in the store |
|
Glance up at the wall, pick out a few kicks |
|
I need 11's in these, matter of fact |
|
While you at it bring em' in a size 6 |
|
I take shorty's shoes off |
|
Like here try on these |
|
J's make sure them shits fit |
|
But in my head it gets thick saying |
|
Joey fall back 'cause that's not your kid |
|
I don't know you lil' nigga |
|
And plus I got a son of my own |
|
But he's at home and the way he's being raised |
|
I don't really condone |
|
Naw, 'cause his pops been gone |
|
Fuck it, Ill explain it to him later when he's grown |
|
Old enough to have a phone |
|
Asking why mommy hates me and he got to sleep |
|
To call me when ever he's alone so |
|
You wouldn't know it but |
|
I got a sore spot for you |
|
See, we would shared the same obstacles |
|
Looking from the outside may seem like you neglect him |
|
But when he slips up and calls me dad, |
|
I correct him |
|
I protect him, when baby girl |
|
Start venting about you |
|
I say respect him |
|
And though it seems out of order |
|
My own mistakes have turned me |
|
Into your biggest supporter |
|
Fast forward, you wouldn't believe |
|
How I could love like mine what |
|
I didn't conceive |
|
Trying to help him reach shit that |
|
I never achieved |
|
Am I doing it for him or is it my own greed' |
|
Cause see me and my baby moms |
|
We don't do the conversations |
|
Some cramped in the back, 2 bedroom shack |
|
With 7 people living there just congregating |
|
So when your child's with me, |
|
I'm over compensated |
|
I'm talking 8 bedrooms 7 baths |
|
My son thinking, that's the shit that only heaven has |
|
Mines gotta keep it cool, yours get to see the view |
|
White marble around the end ground, heated pool |
|
Mines got to go through the why |
|
Shit, yours just got to walk outside |
|
And the funny shit, the irony of it all and it's just sad |
|
Is you walked away and |
|
I'm the step dad |
|
And then you get on |
|
SkypeSaying, "How you being, what's the word?" |
|
And I be on the background listening like"This muhfucka here got some nerve" |
|
He says, "Bye daddy, I love you" |
|
I be wanting to snuff you |
|
But wouldn't have him thinking less of you |
|
But he's perceptive and this shits wild |
|
He picks up on everything and he's just a child |
|
So through all my resistance |
|
I'm afraid this 2 year old can already see the difference |
|
He sees you don't provide when you're capable |
|
Why we never fix things while we're still able too? |
|
So you're annoyed, it kinda of hampers me |
|
Get my void, |
|
I always wanted a family |
|
Just to greet when |
|
I get to the door |
|
You gon' have to take the |
|
L, I can't give you yours |
|
I'll do all the work, you ain't gotta be bothered |
|
You can be his dad, |
|
I'll be his father |
|
I relate though, so |
|
I know it hurts |
|
Got to be uncomfortable when the role reversed |
|
I've been in your shoes my whole life nigga |
|
Try these on, |
|
I relate though, |
|
I know it hurts |
|
Got to be uncomfortable when the role reversed |
|
Yeah man, |
|
I been there |
|
You can't feel good |
|
I wanna see how |
|
I feel? |
