I put too much time and effort into being a kid that I never understood what you really did
I just don't fucking see why you do that to your son
Cos no matter the predicament, I would never run
Now I, don't respect you, and it's easy to forget you
When you keep in mind that never in my life have I met you
Family kept asking me if I already knew
I was the happiest kid ever, man I didn't have a clue
See, mom hid the truth, and I'm glad that she did
And if she told me at a young age, I probably wouldn't get it
But to be honest, in my mind I always knew that the past is the past and there's nothing I can do
But I still get the feeling there's a whole lie I don't know
If you weren't by my side then, where did you go?
I don't really need to know and I don't really need to ask
I got bigger shit to worry about than the past

I put too much time and effort into this music, for you to take it away and call it useless
In a way, man, I'm happy that you left me
Cos otherwise, the listeners wouldn't get me
And you were the same age I am right now
Except with a kid, man I wouldn't know how
I can't even keep a girl, much less keep a child
But I stay by your side as I let 'em run wild
Anyone can be a dad, but it takes a man to raise one
And this is simple math, considering that you ain't one
And I ain't the same one, and even though your blood inside of my veins, I won't do the same
See, I'll stick around, smile or frown
And if the world starts falling, then we're all coming down
And ironically, that's how I was raised
And that's how I'm gonna live the rest of my days
