| [00:05.13] |
In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears |
| [00:08.93] |
Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears |
| [00:13.43] |
Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face |
| [00:20.51] |
In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace |
| [00:28.30] |
His old man woke him up to help him find the car |
| [00:32.43] |
Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar |
| [00:37.23] |
And swore that he was quittin |
| [00:39.57] |
And then he'd start to cry |
| [00:43.93] |
And though the boy knew the truth |
| [00:48.62] |
Sometimes he'd still believe that lie |
| [00:50.99] |
|
| [00:51.24] |
When the sins of the father are the sins of the son |
| [00:55.75] |
All you do is crawl when you wanna run |
| [00:59.59] |
And God gave boys their mamas cause |
| [01:01.71] |
They always see their promise |
| [01:03.17] |
And they help them understand |
| [01:09.21] |
How to walk like a man |
| [01:17.27] |
Walk like a man |
| [01:23.85] |
|
| [01:26.64] |
They moved a lot of places, they never settled down |
| [01:30.58] |
It got pretty old being the new kid in town |
| [01:34.56] |
He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today |
| [01:41.50] |
Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say |
| [01:49.93] |
The sins of the father are the sins of the son |
| [01:53.85] |
Crawl before you walk, boy |
| [01:57.34] |
Walk before you run |
| [01:57.91] |
Come on, stand up straight, I'm proud of you |
| [02:01.16] |
Take my hand |
| [02:03.91] |
I know you can |
| [02:07.82] |
Walk like a man |
| [02:15.32] |
Walk like a man |
| [02:24.78] |
Your daddy's demons are callin' your name |
| [02:31.10] |
Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim |
| [02:38.29] |
Temptations may come, that ain't no sin |
| [02:44.94] |
You get stronger every time that you don't give in |
| [02:50.32] |
|
| [02:51.89] |
The sins of the father are the sins of the son |
| [02:55.72] |
You can't undo what has been done |
| [02:59.52] |
You'll have to retrace his footsteps |
| [03:02.82] |
Through the sand |
| [03:07.16] |
And pray you find the love of a girl |
| [03:11.18] |
And take her by the hand |
| [03:14.98] |
And walk on |
| [03:19.86] |
Walk like a man |
