Everybody's askin' me lately where I'm from |
| [00:18.79] |
They wanna know what I've been through and what dirt I've done |
| [00:22.71] |
But man if I told you what I've seen and been through then you probably run off |
| [00:26.16] |
That your scared of the truth so its dead and secret lined in chalk |
| [00:30.01] |
See I've been lost ever since I could walk |
| [00:33.81] |
Looking for my daddy in anyone of mamma's boyfriends who would talk |
| [00:37.43] |
Or listen to me when I spoke instead of lookin' at me like a joke |
| [00:41.11] |
Or leavin' me behind leavin' me to cry when you treated my momma like a ho |
| [00:44.80] |
But I learned quick that my daddy wasn't ever gonna come around |
| [00:48.29] |
And I didn't give a shit cause me and my momma we held it down |
| [00:51.75] |
No new kicks first day of school I'm goodwill bound |
| [00:55.65] |
But when you come from the trench that's how you learn to walk around |
| [00:59.17] |
So I don't give a fuck if you ever lay eyes on top of my new shoes homey |
| [01:02.98] |
I just wanted you to know I didn't need a dollar from you I got 'em myself |
| [01:06.84] |
So if you find yourself in the middle of the floor with the bottle drinking yourself lonely |
| [01:10.41] |
Then you can keep company with the picture of me in the magazine on the shelf turn the page |
| [01:14.21] |
Daddy can you see me? I'm putting on a show |
| [01:17.52] |
In the magazines hear me on the radio |
| [01:21.40] |
So what do you think huh? |
| [01:23.12] |
(I hope that you're proud now |
| [01:26.35] |
To watch it all go down) |
| [01:28.94] |
I'm sorry daddy you didn't get to watch me grow |
| [01:32.12] |
Now I'm always on the road no time to say hello |
| [01:35.84] |
Bye (I hope that you're proud now |
| [01:41.11] |
To watch it all go down) |
| [01:43.80] |
Yeah mamma you look great...perfect |
| [01:47.49] |
Be safe on your first date...for certain |
| [01:51.19] |
If he brings you home too late... I'll hurt him |
| [01:54.68] |
Don't worry bout me I'm safe, I'll close the curtains |
| [01:58.41] |
And I feel like I'm raisin' you but what do I know baby blue |
| [02:02.13] |
All I know is that I was made in you so I put all my faith in you |
| [02:05.77] |
Yeah I was only ten but I felt like a man and I had to let you go |
| [02:09.45] |
All I wanted was for us to be rich tear drops in my cereal bowl |
| [02:13.05] |
So I turned into an asshole young and dumb smokin' weed |
| [02:16.74] |
Vandalizing, robbing houses, stealing cars, that was me |
| [02:20.36] |
But everything I did I had to see, feel the pain, had to grieve |
| [02:24.34] |
To become who I am and I'm proud of the man I came to be |
| [02:27.72] |
What I've learned cannot be taught, what I've earned cannot be bought |
| [02:31.51] |
Justified deserve it all, so don't be concerned it's not your fault |
| [02:35.16] |
I never counted sheep I count my blessings |
| [02:39.27] |
So if you see him now momma don't give him the cold shoulder just give him my message |
| [02:42.33] |
Just tell him |
| [02:43.23] |
Daddy can you see me? I'm putting on a show |
| [02:46.36] |
In the magazines hear me on the radio |
| [02:49.99] |
So what do you think huh? |
| [02:52.00] |
(I hope that you're proud now |
| [02:55.31] |
To watch it all go down) |
| [02:58.18] |
I'm sorry daddy you didn't get to watch me grow |
| [03:01.45] |
Now I'm always on the road no time to say hello |
| [03:05.23] |
Bye (I hope that you're proud now |
| [03:10.06] |
To watch it all go down) |
