A Father's Neglect
Be a man, I could never understand it
Genuine love, only a child can command it
When I was afraid, it wasn't what would Daddy do
More like I wish Daddy was here, there would be no more you
An explanation is formal, that I can understand
The perfect daddy daughter relationship, I never had a chance
To me, to be a baby momma is like the plague
My momma was one, and I'm no careless mistake
My daddy was around, California is big
He must have been the shit, or I wouldn't be here
The man he could have been, would have been, should have been today
I hope this isn't the distraction to me finding my way
I'm not going to lie to you, I won't even cry
Real women want answers. Now I've got to ask, why?
There was nothing I did and no stone over turned
Do you feel me hurting? Are you even concerned?
I wasn't born yesterday. I know people grow apart,
but how come you let Mommy come between our hearts?
Perfect in my eyes, I compare them all to you.
The expectation given, I lied and said it was from you.
I know he wouldn't do it, but really he has
I am the ultimate price you paid, only you could make it last.
How can I think bad, or let these words out of my mouth?
Look at our family and tell me what that's all about.
You can't get mad if a person gives all they can.
Yeah I said give, stand up and be a man.
Anything you'd say or do, I'd believe and adorn
My supernova, Jupiter, a pet unicorn
Don't make promises that you can't keep
I need you, I miss, I love you, too deep?
