Lyrics
VERSE: 1
When I was 5 I heard yellin and watched my mom get beat,
I couldn't sleep, my tears with me layin on the sheets,
I write this song so everyone can walk a day in my shoe,
and feel my pain, a little kid raised with a broom,
If I ever say I love him, Im really not sayin I do,
but a father is a father, even if he's faking on you,
now at the age of 6 my mom planned a trip to the states,
only to get away from waking up to trouble everyday,
we had him fooled, cuz he was thinkin we were just goin to visit,
it was kind of killin me we made the right decision,
a year went by, de didn't even call me on my birthday,
my grandma's goin crazy thinkin i had it the worstway,
my mom is workin hard tryina support a broken family,
crazy thoughts in my head, it's gotta be insanity,
cuz everytime i hear the word dad it kinda kills me,
to see a child that could of been me, man you feel me?
and as much as I hate him it kinda hurts the soul,
it hurts my whole, tears me down, the earth is cold,
just to let u know right now im livin good and got a brother man,
and I love'em and never will i give u another chance
CHORUS 1X
a man aint a man if he left his son,
when he was young, and doesn't really know whats yet to come,
when i have kids im gonna do the opposite of you
stay by'em, make u wish u were walking in my shoes
a man aint a man if he left he's girl,
when she was young, and doesn't know if she left the world,
When I have kids Im gonna do the opposite of you,
stay by'em, make u wish u were walking in my shoes
I feel lost...and i don't even have a dad,
but I'm doing good, so I can't be mad at that..
the point is, he left me in my own habitat,
so if you're listening I hope you understand this rap

it's been 14 years and I'm now a grown man,
Doing more than you ever did and I got my own plans,
how does it feel to have a son thats so much better than you,
more clever than you and definately more respected than you
from the beginnin' I knew that you never loved me from the start,
cuz if you did you would've never broke the family apart,
A lie from the start, the way it looks: you were tryina part!
When I was 5 I realized I was alive with a heart,
and tried to say I hate you, but I had to keep it inside,
a secret to hide...about the worlds evilest guy,
just to let you know, the whole family knows what happened,
and even though right now were living so good, no-ones laughin'
you should be slapped in the face, for even touchin' my mom,
then tryina talk to me on the phone....like nothin' is wrong,
I gotta say by losing you, you kind of did us a favor,
of seeing a better life and looking up to something thats greater
CHORUS 2X
