[Intro]
This a little piece that I wrote
Dedicated to two people I love so much
Check it out
[Verse 1]
Yeah, because I'm older and I get it now (What?)
I feel like I really got a lot to say (Uh huh)
Time-traveling mentally, mind-tapping ability
Rob cats without tendency, how it got away
Scale down my mama house at night to play
Doc, how I used to operate
Like an eviction, I was always feeling out of place
And never seen my real father face, and by the door I would wait
Tick-tick-tick-tick
But nobody came like wack intercourse, then of course I gotta say
It was a wastе of fucking time watching my mother love a guy
Who wouldn’t sing a lullaby whеn I'm afraid
Dinner coursed out by the plate
Eat every bit of mama's, gonna be mad like when her china break
With a fork, I would contemplate
Self-mutilating then she said "We getting divorced by the way"
At night when they fucking fight, blood I'm wide awake
Overlooking from the staircase, plotting my escape
For a little brother, I would pray
That when he got here, all the Father Time had him clock away
In his Monte Carlo bumping Dr. Dre
2Pac and Jay, Mr. Mike and Domino, so many I could say
In my little journal, I would jot away
Speaking of Pac, I started banging Amaru like what his mama named him
It's why I'm doing Hip-Hop today
Chopping and every punch nuts, call me Johnny Cage
Though they had separate rooms, him and mama play
Let me meddle till they leave, on second thought, nah I'mma stay
I'm numb to feeling a lot of pain
Perfect, figures, cause on a scale of 10, I'm an 8
My stepfather, let me nominate
For an apology cause he ain't have to be there
My mistake
[Bridge]
Yep that way
When you never had a daddy get that way
Sitting back watching others with a dad play
For the fatherless, this a pep rally
Yep that way
When you never had a daddy get that way
Sitting back watching others with a dad play
For the fatherless, this a pep rally
[Chorus]
Especially when you mention step daddy
And they wonder where you get your step daddy
Really dancing with the devil, step daddy
Cause she know I keep the metal, step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
When I was younger I couldn't figure out
Why anybody father would walk away
Now I'm 25, one failed household
With a son on my way to show you wit' a daughter dang
Johnny, she on my neck like I bought a chain
4 years old crying for her father mane
When I looked in her eyes, I saw the younger me
And I was stunningly compelled, man this not a game
I'm not ashamed to claim you, I'mma make your mama stay
And hey, you’re not to blame for all the change, in ways, I gotta stay
Your father can’t, well hey, I’ll find a way in every holiday
I came through right away, take you shopping place to place
I got you babe right beside you ay, all day, till I go gray
Feel like Shabba Ranks, okay, that’s twice my age
Getting old like somebody gotta pay
Taught you how to ride a bike when mama said go outside and play
You and baby brother, yeah I got you Dre
I felt purpose, raising you both all night and day
But to no avail, lifetime away
I tried to stay with your mama, stand some drama when we find our hate
The fact it got so bad now we got a break, and suicide
I will go and contemplate by the lake
Ricky ficky I’m 51/50 missing my itty-ones
Biddy to biddy I gotta go to dollar make
I’m on tour, got a whole new lady and a whole new baby
Now we barely even conversate
Maybe that’s why my step dad was fearful to love me
'Cause we can’t be there when mama say
Don’t let ‘em turn you against me
And anything you need in life, I can accommodate
Aight Soleil? I love you
I love you too
[Bridge]
Yep that way
When you never had a daddy get that way
Sitting back watching others with a dad play
For the fatherless, this a pep rally
Yep that way
When you never had a daddy get that way
Sitting back watching others with a dad play
For the fatherless, this a pep rally
[Chorus]
Especially when you mention step daddy
And they wonder where you get your step daddy
Really dancing with the devil, step daddy
Cause she know I keep the metal, step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Everybody now do the step daddy
Hey, hey
[Outro]
I get it now, you know what I mean
Dad I love you so motherfucking much
Soleil I love you so motherfucking much
You know what I’m saying
Sometimes relationships don’t work out
And um, shit gets moved around but I love you, know what I mean
Your mama is the truth, that’s still, that’s still my heart
You know what I’m sayin’
She’s still in my heart, you feel me?
Dad you always gon’ be in my heart
Step daddy, ay, ay
