(feat. Gemini, Sarah Green)


I can't, I won't, I can't, I won't

Let you leave

I don't know what you want

You want more from me?



She said to him

"I want you to be a father

He's your little boy and you don't even bother

Like "brother" without the R

And he's starting to harbor

Cool and food for thought

But for you he's a starver

Starting to use red markers on his work

His teacher say they know he's much smarter

But he's hurt

Used to hand his homework in first

Like he was the classroom starter

Burst to tears

Let them know she see us

Now he's fighting in class

Got a note last week that say he might not pass

Ask me if his daddy was sick of us

Cause you ain't never pick him up

You see what his problem is?

He don't know where his poppa is

No positive male role model

To play football and build railroad models

It's making a hole you've been digging it

Cause you ain't been kicking it

Since he was old enough to hold bottles

Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that

He don't deserve to get used to that

Now I ain't asking you for money or to come back to me

Some days it ain't sunny but it ain't so hard

Just breaks my heart

When I try to provide and he say 'Mommy that ain't your job'

To be a man, I try to make him understand

That I'm his number one fan

But its like he born from the stands

You know the world is out to get him, so why don't you give him a chance?"



So he said to him

"I want you to be a father

I'm your little boy and you don't even bother

Like "brother" without the R

And I'm starting to harbor

Cool and food for thought

But for you I'm a starver

Starting to use red markers on my work

My teacher say they know I'm much smarter

But I'm hurt

I used to hand my homework in first

Like I was the classroom starter

Burst to tears

Let them know he see us

Now I'm fighting in class

Got a note last week that say I might not pass

Kids ask me if my daddy is sick of us

Cause you ain't never pick me up

You see what my problem is?

That I don't know where my poppa is

No positive male role model

To play football and build railroad models

It's making a hole you've been digging it

Cause you ain't been kicking it

Since I was old enough to hold bottles

Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that

I don't deserve to get used to that

Now I ain't asking you for money or to come back to me

Some days it ain't sunny but it ain't so hard

Just breaks my heart

When my momma try to provide and I tell her 'That ain't your job'

To be a man, she try to make me understand

That she my number one fan

But its like you born from the stands

You know the world is out to get me, why don't you give me a chance?"
