Father Lyrics - Ms. Dynamite

I spent 23 years trying to be what you wanted me to be 

though it seemed like you couldn't save me 

'til I picked up the mic and I was on the TV 

now you're ringing off my phone like every week 

where were you at 6, 7, 11 and 13 when shit was impossible 

Mama left nine months pregnant 

but she came home alone from the hospital 

How could you call yourself a man if you can't love your own unless you can contol them 

you'd rather destroy their souls and she was 13 years old and you could've protected the innocence from being stolen 

And I don't give a damn what you was going through when mama wasn't able 

to put food on the table 

You left the family unstable 

Now you come around acting like you want some kind of appraisal

You can't play like you daddy now 

and you can't claim shit 'cause you weren't around 

And you can't get mad but what can you do? 

You can't tell me shit 

I'm grown without you 

I spent 23 years trying to be the f**king man you should be 

taking care of your responsibility 

putting clothes on our back and shoes on our feet no help 

but you always had your bag of weed 

where were you at 12, 13, 14 and 15 when life was unliveable 

Momma was so damn angry the way she treated me was unforgiveable 

You call yourself a man your oldest son he had to learn from his sister 

How to put a niggers fist up, how to f**k a niggers shit up and knock out any motherf**ker that had come and tried to diss us 

And I don't give a damn what you was going through 

and I needed saving I spent my every second blazing a little girl with a blade and trying to f**k up and take my life just wanted to dig my grave and.
