Lyrics

[00:01.090] I wanna sing' I wanna shout.
[00:05.460] I wanna scream till the words dry out.
[00:09.960] So put it in all of the papers' I'm not afraid.
[00:15.760] They can read all about it' read all about it' oh.
[00:23.640] Nothing to hide
[00:24.320] Suffered and cried
[00:25.340] Strife made me tougher
[00:26.830] Never
[00:27.080] The trouble I rise above all
[00:29.970] Expectations to get rep
[00:31.980] Ain't never begged yet
[00:33.670] When I wanted to get pence' hustle'
[00:35.040] To be' I'm exactly what my neck says.
[00:37.100] Saying I tried to cash in on my Dad's death'
[00:39.470] I wanted to vent 'stead I said nothing at all.
[00:41.590] After all you were never kind to me'
[00:44.090] Family is something that you never been to me'
[00:46.400] In fact making it harder for me to see my father was the only thing that
[00:49.770] You ever did for me.
[00:51.200] I wanna sing' I wanna shout.
[00:54.880] I wanna scream till the words dry out.
[00:59.580] So put it in all of the papers' I'm not afraid.
[01:04.980] They can read all about it' read all about it' oh.
[01:08.750]
[01:17.980] Dear dad'
[01:19.920] As a kid I looked up to you'
[01:21.100] Only thing was I never saw enough of you.
[01:23.530] The last thing I said to you was I hated you'
[01:26.050] I loved you and now it's too late to say to you.
[01:28.430] Just didn't know what to do or how to deal with it'
[01:31.190] Even now deep down I'm still livid.
[01:33.630] To think' I used to blame me'
[01:35.690] I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me.
[01:38.060] I wasn't even 5' life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride.
[01:40.740] You never even got to see me rhyme'
[01:42.990] I just wish you woulda reached out'
[01:44.740] I wish you woulda been round when I been down.
[01:47.730] I wish that you could see me now'
[01:49.670] Wherever you are I really hope you found peace.
[01:51.290] But know that if I ever have kids'
[01:54.540] Unlike you I'll never let them be without me.
[01:57.170] I wanna sing' I wanna shout.
[02:01.120] I wanna scream till the words dry out.
[02:05.670] So put it in all of the papers' I'm not afraid.
[02:11.210] They can read all about it' read all about it' oh.
[02:17.140] I write songs I can't listen to
[02:19.890] Everything I have I give to you
[02:22.020] In every one of these lines I sing to you.
[02:26.280] My job's more like public service
[02:27.980] My life just became yours to read and interpret.
[02:30.350] If you heard it will come across a lot different at times
[02:32.990] I throw fits when I read how they word things.
[02:35.380] You see me smile
[02:37.260] Now you're gonna have to see me hurt
[02:40.160] Coz pretending everything is alright when it ain't' really isn't working.
[02:44.590] I wanna sing' I wanna shout.
[02:48.460] I wanna scream till the words dry out.
[02:53.010] So put it in all of the papers' I'm not afraid.
[02:58.460] They can read all about it' read all about it' oh.
[03:03.920] I ain't censoring myself for nobody
[03:07.110] I'm the only thing I can be'
[03:12.790] All that is good' all that is bad' all that is' me.
[03:22.210] I wanna sing' I wanna shout.
[03:26.640] I wanna scream till the words dry out.
[03:31.450] So put it in all of the papers' I'm not afraid.
[03:37.920] They can read all about it' read all about it' oh.
