…land of Rambos, Acid, samurais and handguns
Where it's "Fuck dads" and thank mum, but me, I'm my dad's son
Ain't hard to see my father in me
The…
…never claimin' a gang
I never know moral compass, I became detached
I'm just a outsider inside, outlinin' things I'm surrounded by
This time the outcome is insight to how…
…with a job
Who gets to tell us what a soldier is?
Middle eastern children molested
You run the clip on the news and then we get over it…

…late, but better late than never
Yeh
Driving through the hood, thinking how fucked it is
Like how the fuck can anybody…
…that gun
So you duck and you run, and all you thinking is they come to my mums; are they dumb?
And the cycle goes on, and the riding don't…
…ends
Cos where was everybody when you need them?
The hoods fucked yeh I see it now, I'm just pissed I couldn't see it then
It's like…

…slums, where the devil makes work for them idol fingers and thumbs, firing guns, taking sums for their mums, so I'm saying…
…'I love you now mum' just in case tomorrow don't come,this life is no fun, it's got me stuck in the pressure for months, I'm…
…same but we don't see the same we've seen it over, you see me soldier, everyone's talking bout skullys like their moulder, I don't…

…a man was about
What if he wasn't 8 when he became the man of the house
Where would he be now?
Disciplined, smarter
Mums wouldn't have kicked…
…him out for lookin' just like her partner
Instead when she glance at her son?
It's a reminder of the beatings that he gave her
How…
…don't know what it was
Maybe I miss my dad
All the things I never had, making me mad
In a world that says you don't have? You're…

…i'm just sayin' its mad
Cos cuz?
Been 15 and suicidal sad
I don't know what it was
Maybe I miss my dad
All the things I never…
…had, making me mad
In a world that says you don't have? You're basically bad
If we have half the parents
Are we half the person then?
Has it…
…always been like this?
Is this the curse of men?
But then again, even if they stayed together
I don't know…

…never did it i'm just sayin' its mad
Cos cuz?
Been 15 and suicidal sad
I don't know what it was
Maybe I miss my dad
All the things I…
…never had, making me mad
In a world that says you don't have? You're basically bad
If we have half the parents
Are we half the person then?
Has it…
…always been like this?
Is this the curse of men?
But then again, even if they stayed together
I don't know…

…never did it i'm just sayin' its mad
Cos cuz?
Been 15 and suicidal sad
I don't know what it was

All the things I…

In a world that says you don't have? You're basically bad
If we have half the parents

Is this the curse of men?
But then again, even if they stayed together

But then again, even if they stayed together
I don't know…

…cope by repressing all of it
Is it all a myth or reality?
How can it be? When you're right here next to me?
Chorus:
I got the…
…and you'll never let you go
Even if it is just me and you, the world alone
Heard your father the pastor
Doesn't want his daughter
Falling…
…love and you'll never let you go
Even if it is just me and you, the world alone
Heard your father the pastor
Doesn't want…

…tyna burn me, but i fire back
Wallahi if i ever said i love you, then i meant it all my brothers know i ride till my tires flat
We…
…smile a lot, more time the moods sad
It's like i lost my self, i don't know this new adz
I broke my fast eight times during Ramadan…
…How i'm living is haram
I phoned up my mum like "mum i'm about to open up a shop" she said son "you need to open the Quran"
Mummy's…

…ain't my (type)
You won't be in my (life)
[Verse 2]
This is something that I feel like
I gotta talk about
The…
…no moving on
I really don't know how
I met Kourtney,I met Sammy
Those girls were really great
They wasted my time like the 21 Presidential…
…candidates
What is wrong,I don't know
Good deeds I done them all
I'm in good books with Karma but I took the cookie from Malah
Gotta…

…shoulder, osteosarcoma
For anyone don't know, sounds like I need a heart donor
But I been diagnosed with a cancer that you won't find…
Overstand what I'm saying
How can a 3 year old hold my hand through this mayhem
[Chorus]
Too much to live for
I don't wanna miss you…
…next conversation
It's hard being a mum, with death confirmation
Back on the chemo it's not working though
No one wants to work when its…

…[Intro]
"I wanna show you something" She said
As if I had built up enough trust in her
To the point where she could show me
The…
…"I don't feel like lookin'"
Like the uninterested type
So I say "A'ight, show that sh*t."
But a little more respect and reservation
It…
…been there from the beginning if I could be there right now
If I could promise to be there when you need me, would it…
