Daddy Issues

Two decades later, nearly three

I'm still contemplating if I am free

From all the memories clouding my mind

Convincing myself I still turned out just fine

But the little child in me is hurt

Never fully could embrace my worth

Had my mama pushing twice the work

And the truth of the matter is





I’ve got Issues

They call them daddy Issues

When a father has a child

And doesn't come around

I've got Issues

They call them daddy Issues

And the truth of the matter is

I’ve got Issues



Of all the things you didn't do for me

There's one thing you did and you taught me

I'm a much better man than you ever could be

Your lack of example spoke volumes to me

But the little child in me is hurt

Never fully could embrace my worth

Had my mama pushing twice the work

And the truth of the matter is



I've got Issues

They call them daddy Issues

When a father has a child

And doesn't come around

I've got Issues

They call them daddy Issues

And the truth of the matter is



You played no part in me

So I was forced to be the man I am

I see no fault in me

But how could a little boy

Who was longing for his daddy

But the truth of the matter is



I've got Issues

They call them daddy Issues

When a father has a child

And doesn’t come around

I’ve got Issues

They call them daddy Issues

And the truth of the matter is

I've got Issues
