Daddy's home   So, you say that like that means somethin' to me   You've been gone a mighty long motherfuckin' time   For you to be comin' home talkin' that daddy's home shit   We been gettin' along fine just without you   Me, my brother and my mother   So if you don't mind, you can step the fuck off, pops, fuck you      Had to play catch by myself, what a sorry sight   A pitiful plight, so I pray for a starry night   Please send me a pops before puberty   The things I would do to see a piece of family unity      Moms always work, I barely see her   I'm startin' to get worried without a pops I'll grow to be her   It's a wonder they don't understand kids today   So when I pray, I pray I'll never grow to be that way      And I hope that he answers me   I heard God don't like ugly, well, take a look at my family   A different father every weekend   Before we get to meet him they break up before the week ends      I'm gettin' sick of all the friendships   As soon as we kick it he done split and the whole shit ends quick   How can I be a man if there's no role model?   Strivin' to save my soul I stay cold drinkin' a Forty bottle      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time, so sorry baby      Moms had to entertain many men   Didn't wanna do it but it's time to pay the rent again   I'm gettin' a bit older and I'm startin' to be a bother   Moms can't stand me 'cause I'm lookin' like my father      Should I stay or run away, tell me the answer   Moms ignores me and avoids me like cancer   Grow up rough and it's hard to understand stuff   Moms was tough 'cause his poppa wasn't man enough      Couldn't stand up to his own responsibilities   Instead of takin' care of me, he'd rather live lavishly   That's why I'll never be a father   Unless you got the time it's a crime don't even bother      That's when I started hatin' the phony smiles   Said I was an only child, look at mama's lonely smile   It's hard for a son to see his mother cry   She only loves you but has to fuck with these other guys      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time, so sorry baby      Man child in the promised land couldn't afford many heroes   Moms was the only one there my pops was a no-show   And oh, I guess ya didn't know that I would grow to be so strong   Lookin' kinda pale, was it the ale or pops was wrong?      Where was the money that you said you would send me?   Talked on the phone and you sounded so friendly   Ask about school and my welfare   But it's clear you ain't sincere and who the hell cares      You think I'm blind but this time I see you comin', Jack   You grabbed your coat, left us broke, now ain't no runnin' back   Ask about my moms like you loved her from the start   Left her in the dark, she fell apart from a broken heart      So don't even start with that wanna be your father shit   Don't even bother with your dollars I don't need it   I'll bury moms like you left me all alone G   Now that I finally found you, stay the fuck away from me      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time, so sorry baby      I never meant to leave but I was wanted   Crossed too many people every house I'd touch was haunted   Had to watch the strangers every brother was in danger   If I was to keep you breathin', had to be out of range      Had to move, one to lost my name and pick the number   Made me watch my back I had no happy home to run to   Maybe it's my fault for being a father livin' fast   But livin' slow, mean half the dough why don't you get some ass      Hindsight shows me it was wrong all along   I wanted to make some dough so you would grow to be so strong   It took a little longer than I thought   I slipped, got caught and sent to jail by the courts      Now I'm doin' time and I wish you'll understand   All I ever wanted was for you to be a man   And grow to be the type you was meant to be   Keep the war fightin' by the writings that you sent to me      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time      I'm so sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time, so sorry, baby      Sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time      I am sorry   For all this time   For all this time   For all this time, so sorry, baby      Sorry   I'm so sorry   I'm so sorry   I'm so sorry   I'm so sorry   I'm so sorry   I'm so sorry
