[Intro]
Tarrel was searching for a sense of self
To understand where he came from
Something his siblings couldn't understand
They knew their dads though
I ne–I ne–I ne- you
So they had who they could, you know
Look in the mirror and see where they get all their stuff from
And identify with
And then I'm the middle child so it was like
I always felt like an outcast
I didn't have somebody who I could say, "That's my hero"
Or, "That's who I'm gonna be like" (Be like, be like, be like)
[Chorus]
My father wasn't there, father was a rolling stone
Prolly never be aware of me 'til they put me on the cover of the Rolling Stones (Stones)
Sister and brother had theirs, I was feelin' so alone
If I wasn't it was rare, like the blood, I'm gettin' gone
Just sittin' here stoned (Stoned)
My father wasn't there, father was a rolling stone
Prolly never be aware of me 'til they put me on the cover of the Rolling Stones (Stones)
Sister and brother had theirs, I was feelin' so alone
If I wasn't it was rare, like the blood, I'm gettin' gone
Just sittin' here
[Verse 1]
You never even heard my voice (No)
You never even shook my hand (No)
You never left me no choice (No)
If you ask me I look like Pam (Uh-huh)
Was a ghetto psycho in the makin' (Facts)
You never seen how good I am (No)
Was in the shoe, good at bein' in the box like (What?)
Where I used to put my bands
Ironic when I sit and I think about it
I never really had one, livin' in the Good Life Inn
If its a gamble I'ma have a Suge Knight den
With a pair of dice, that's where they took my fam
In the middle of the east, where the hoods I ran
Like a third world country, better book like champs
Everybody tryna make 'em somethin' out of nothin'
On the corner makin' jugs like a good five dance
With the devil daily, I took my chance
With the weed in elementary
I think that it would get to me
To see who all befriending me
Receiving love attentively from father's
It was sickening, the look, goddamn (Uh-huh)
Lone wolf gang is where I took my stance
Y'all go where the wind blows
N***as look like Stan's (Facts)
Feel welcome to the hood
Think I could ice Stan's
I was one in the chamber on the wood night-stand (Damn)
Had the five dolla' blunt, feelin' good, got grams
Put that on mama's mama, in the hood, right hand
When them rubber bullets flyin'
They done took my man's (Man's)
We need more songs like Nas's hook "I Can"
Fucked up, dealin' with this tough love
Pops playin' duck hunt
Kick it through the hood pop cans
Set in stone (Stone, stone)
[Chorus]
My father wasn't there, father was a rolling stone
Prolly never be aware of me 'til they put me on the cover of the Rolling Stones (Stones)
Sister and brother had theirs, I was feelin' so alone
If I wasn't it was rare, like the blood, I'm gettin' gone
Just sittin' here stoned (Stoned)
My father wasn't there, father was a rolling stone
Prolly never be aware of me 'til they put me on the cover of the Rolling Stones (Stones)
Sister and brother had theirs, I was feelin' so alone
If I wasn't it was rare, like the blood, I'm gettin' gone
Just sittin' here
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel (Like what?)
Like a fatherless child, his bastard ODed, rest in peace
What's a [?] pour another drink
Take a pill and prolly will bounce
Sold a little bit of product that I'm talkin' about
Call me the Wizard of Oz, how I got up an ounce
Prolly chillin' with a model, hold up, it's Monica Brown
And then I became and addict like the top of a house
Pretendin' to be an angel when my mama's around
Preacher horns with a halo, n***a, follow me now? (Uh-huh)
Diggin' through a liquor cabinet, a shot on the house
Playin' with the pistol, blood and no more shot at the house
Mama checkin' if I'm sleepin' but I'm not at the house
I'm runnin' around with a baddie and knockin' her down
I went to mental wards and jail and I was jottin' it down
Rhymin' the hardest while you n***as sound like Oscar the Grouch
Learn to make paper, boy, when I got to the south (Uh-huh)
With the empire now, shawties pop at the couch
They sayin' that I changed but I plotted it out
Man, what the fuck these n***as talkin' about?
I proceed to hit the weed 'cause it be calmin' me down
I'm stickin' my dick in a thottie
Addicted, forget it, hobby
The lobby with busy bodies
I'm sinister with the molly
My n***a, I'm Ricky Bobby how I'm drivin' 'em wild
In a box Chevy, 'bout to slide through the town (Skrrt)
King n***a sippin' on a bottle of Crown (Uh-huh)
Turnt up like the gangs that they brought me around
Wonder would it be the same with a father around? (Hmm)
Never thought I'd make it rappin' but they jackin' my style
Turn this motherfucker up and blow the monitors out
All I ever needed was to see my mama was proud
I'll be sittin' back and laughin' like it's comedy now
Just gettin' stoned (Stoned)
[Chorus]
My father wasn't there, father was a rolling stone
Prolly never be aware of me 'til they put me on the cover of the Rolling Stones (Stones)
Sister and brother had theirs, I was feelin' so alone
If I wasn't it was rare, like the blood, I'm gettin' gone
Just sittin' here stoned (Stoned)
My father wasn't there, father was a rolling stone
Prolly never be aware of me 'til they put me on the cover of the Rolling Stones (Stones)
Sister and brother had theirs, I was feelin' so alone
If I wasn't it was rare, like the blood, I'm gettin' gone
Just sittin' here stoned (Stoned)
[Outro]
Shit when-when I couldn't find my pops, homie
I was on the block like with the older n***as
N***a, we we're gettin' high
I was skippin' elementary school, n***a
I'm a fuckin' weed head
Could you imagine that shit?
And ever since then n***a, I ain't
I ain't really put the shit down
I mean, I tried to
Shit, if I ain't high, I'm feelin' low
Stoned, ay
