| [00:22.92] |
Look at my life |
| [00:24.39] |
Look at my pain |
| [00:25.95] |
Look at my tears |
| [00:27.03] |
These tears I shed |
| [00:28.65] |
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
| [00:31.59] |
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
| [00:34.65] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [00:36.90] |
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [00:40.20] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [00:43.92] |
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
| [00:47.28] |
I know you're working, I appreciate your grind |
| [00:49.68] |
You give me everything I need, but I really want your time (I want your time) |
| [00:53.19] |
I must confess, it's hard to express how I'm feeling |
| [00:55.44] |
But I'm growing blocks of bitterness, quickly becoming buildings |
| [00:58.50] |
Listen, you're never home |
| [01:00.00] |
To the point to that I don't notice when you're gone |
| [01:02.13] |
I'm getting older, but I'm growing all alone (I'm all alone) |
| [01:04.95] |
How can you raise me, without even knowing me? |
| [01:07.65] |
Everything I do, is just to get you to notice me (I miss you) |
| [01:10.62] |
Realize, you're the great influence in my life |
| [01:13.05] |
And you're absence just might be what's ruining my life (you're ruing my life) |
| [01:16.65] |
I got questions, but we don't talk on the usual |
| [01:19.11] |
My friends are having sex, and I'm wondering, should I do it too? (What should I do?) |
| [01:22.38] |
Who should I go to, if you are never there? (Where?) |
| [01:25.02] |
And if you never ask, will you ever be aware? (Be aware) |
| [01:28.20] |
You say you care for me, you don't get it apparently! |
| [01:30.84] |
I'm young and just a child, I need my parent to parent me! |
| [01:33.84] |
Look at my life |
| [01:34.62] |
Look at my pain |
| [01:36.12] |
Look at my tears |
| [01:37.23] |
These tears I shed |
| [01:38.91] |
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
| [01:41.85] |
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
| [01:44.88] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [01:47.97] |
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [01:51.03] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [01:54.00] |
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
| [01:57.57] |
I know you're hustling (I know), I see you on your grind |
| [01:59.94] |
You give me everything I need, but I really want your time (I want your time) |
| [02:03.45] |
I stay in fresh J's, laced in new gear |
| [02:06.00] |
But I would trade it all, if I'd only have you here |
| [02:09.27] |
I smell the dough that you blowing, cuz it be so potent |
| [02:12.18] |
Oh yeah, I notice, but you don't think I'ma wanna smoke it? (I wanna blow) |
| [02:15.15] |
I see your love for the streets, and I want that love too |
| [02:17.64] |
You taught me to be hard, but you rarely tell me, "I love you" (I love you)(Please love me) |
| [02:21.24] |
Moms be mad, she always be talking bad about you |
| [02:23.73] |
But honestly, Dad, I don't think I'll become a man without you |
| [02:26.88] |
And she be gone, matter of fact she never home |
| [02:29.52] |
She come into work, and I'm living like I'm already grown |
| [02:32.76] |
I gotta place to stay, then get ta shop at the mall |
| [02:35.58] |
But I'll honestly say, I don't have no guidance at all |
| [02:38.46] |
You say you care for me, but don't know I can barely read |
| [02:41.16] |
I'm young and just a child, I need my parents to parent me! |
| [02:43.68] |
Look at my life |
| [02:44.88] |
Look at my pain |
| [02:46.38] |
Look at my tears |
| [02:47.49] |
These tears I shed |
| [02:49.14] |
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
| [02:52.11] |
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
| [02:55.14] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [02:57.36] |
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [03:01.08] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [03:04.17] |
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
| [03:07.77] |
I know you're in Church, I see your love for God (I do) |
| [03:10.26] |
You give me everything I need, but I really need your time (I need your time) |
| [03:13.68] |
Your godly life and love for people amazes me |
| [03:16.23] |
But tell me should the Church take my mom and my dad away from me? |
| [03:19.53] |
I say this simply, you know a lot spiritually |
| [03:22.05] |
Involved in ministry, but often, you don't remember me (Remember me?) |
| [03:25.41] |
You teach the Youth and show them how to model and live (Yep) |
| [03:28.41] |
But at home you've never shown me what the Gospel is (Father I need you) |
| [03:31.47] |
How can you share with those seem direly hopeless? |
| [03:34.14] |
Inside I cry, cuz we've never cracked the Bible open |
| [03:36.84] |
And I'm dealing with pressure, and don't know what to do |
| [03:39.99] |
Know what it's like to be the only Christian in your school? |
| [03:43.02] |
I bump that 1-1-6, they tell me to live unashamed (I'm ashamed) |
| [03:45.96] |
But that's hard when those around you are on another thing |
| [03:48.75] |
You study thoroughly, but don't get it apparently! |
| [03:51.33] |
I'm a babe in the faith, I need my parents to parent me! |
| [03:53.88] |
Look at my life |
| [03:55.08] |
Look at my pain |
| [03:56.52] |
Look at my tears |
| [03:58.53] |
These tears I shed |
| [03:59.49] |
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
| [04:02.37] |
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
| [04:05.43] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [04:08.10] |
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [04:13.77] |
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
| [04:17.01] |
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
| [04:22.80] |
Mama I need you.. And daddy I need you... |
