Pharaoh Lamar - Daddy's Issue

I used to cry at night for a father figure
Tryna figure out why the fuck I'm different
Too young to get it But I understand
Daddies got his issues Just a young man
With a drug addiction Tryna be a parent
I really get it But it's too late
Can't be my dad But you can be a man
You can be my friend But I understand
Whatcha do when Ls is all you really know
And any sign of any problem Make you wanna hit the road
She said you act just like ya father No I fucking don't
Mother I know I got problems But I mother fuckin won't
Grow up to be that dude
I refused to be like him Nothing against the man
He's got a story too
But I got a plan I must undo
All that psychological bullshit He put us through
I mean I gotta do it for my sister
She only 17 with just her moms to assist her
She does it all like she's playing a long game of twister
In a world full of creep She's forced to group up quicker
And where was I I was drowning in the liquor
Acting like my dad Got used to playing the victim
I guess I did depict him Picture perfect super villain
But I'm working everyday to be a little different
I think I miss him
I used to cry at night for a father figure
Tryna figure out why the fuck I'm different
Too young to get it But I understand
Daddies got his issues Just a young man
With a drug addiction Tryna be a parent
I really get it But it's too late
Can't be my dad But you can be a man
You can be my friend But I understand
But I understand
Too young to get it
Too young to understand
Mommy where's dad Do he not like me whose this man
In your bed
He's here every evening
Treats you like a queen
Something I'm not used to seeing
Too young to get it
Too young to understand
Mommy where's dad Do he not like me whose this man
In your bed
He's here every evening
Treats you like a queen
Something I'm not used to seeing
If I had known How we all would grow
I mean
He Pick me up off my tippy toes
I mean
He taught me how to drive right up the road
Tie my shoes and blow my nose
Reach my goals
He held me close Cause this world is cold
He was there when I lost control
He said Believe non of what you hear And half of what you see
The reason why I love this man He keeps it real with me
I don't cry at night For a father figure
I have a dad I have friends who didn't
I've grown up and I understand
We've all got some issues just a young man
Who has been afflicted But this shits apparent
Hope you get it Never too late
Can't be my dad But you can be a man
You can be my friend But I understand
But I understand
Too young to get it
Too young to understand
Mommy where's dad Do he not like me whose this man
In your bed
He's here every evening
Treats you like a queen
Something I'm not used to seeing
Too young to get it
Too young to understand
Mommy where's dad Do he not like me whose this man
In your bed
He's here every evening
Treats you like a queen
Something I'm not used to seeing
