Generate meaning
1
Daddy's got a new life now
2
A new daughter and a new male child
3
A new swagger wid some real style
4
New car new house brand new spouse
5
Little shitty dog named Pouts wid smile on his mouth
6
We'll be straight up we're forgotten cause developed a plan
7
Once the monkey takes some time to hang with his own fam
8
Hap' and gay to let ya know he still cares and such
9
Ya won't grow apart too much from bein' outta touch
10
But he wasn't there for him on the daily ghetto basis
11
In order to drop jewels I stay clear of the racists
12
Heavy promises became weightless
13
Sincerity became faintless
14
He's praying for a Santa A-list
15
Time is passin' by yet his scars remain ageless
16
He called him on the phone to say pop's
17
This'll take a minute of ya time
18
But his wishes were divined
19
By the disenchanted tone at the end of the line, hang up
20
He tried to look strong in front of mom back up
21
John stop lookin' forward to the day you gonna see him on
22
Dry ya eye to eye and you'll receive an embrace
23
From a lost heart that's pumpin' blood up to a guilty face
24
He's gonna try to find ways to make up for the last twenty nine days
25
Or was it thirty, I think he heard me
26
In situations like this ya speech becomes wordy
27
He's got a hundred million ways to tell me not to worry
28
But this time I wasn't hangin' on his every sentence
29
Ears crippled by the pain and negligence so was the tendency
30
He spoke I couldn't hear a word I zoned into black I observed
31
My only thoughts were missin' out on love that I deserved
32
Tryin' to convince myself I'm weak within the mental
33
The silence breaks because your father's guidance is essential
34
He's lookin' down with a smile sayin' that the future will be great
35
I don't see that dad, but what about the now?
36
Johnny come and leave ya dad alone now
37
Yeh it's just you and momma now
38
Stop the cryin' now, just try to smile now
39
Try to think of other things now
40
Momma's got another date now
41
You can get through all the anger and the hate now
42
Calm down and wipe ya face now
43
I know it seems to be hard
44
But I promise you we'll make it through somehow
45
Little girl their firstborn their sunshine
46
Never been a reader wrong get it right one time
47
Here's how it goes, she's off to school an' dancin' on her toes
48
At an hour long ballet class then on to the piano
49
Two hours of repetition, emulatin' class with music compositions
50
Do your homework with precision
51
By nine-o-clock she collapses in a heat of dizziness
52
But sleep so tomorrow you'll repeat ya business
53
She got straight A's a stroke of her stress
54
Throughout her maydays but drawn up out the melees
55
Her mom and dad tryna blame each other different ways she stop and gaze
56
Thinkin' how it drives her crazy when their voices raised
57
This the web that ruins most of her days
58
From her perfection was expected
59
An exec that workin' hard without receivin' any raise
60
At night she cries when she lays
61
Then she wakes up, washes up smiles and goes along like it's okay
62
On to high school, there's more intensity within her cycle
63
She's makin' all the guys drool
64
Here comes the extra tight rules
65
No late, not with college on the plate
66
Practice hard, study hard stay in focus keep ya head straight
67
Now she's a nervouse wreck, lookin' to collect
68
Anything that she can smoke swallow drink or inject
69
When she was mentally gone she went to the prom
70
Had dates and actually could sit down
71
Discuss relationships with her mom
72
But tell me how much pressure can a person take
73
Before they break and maybe crush this on a large enough escape
74
So one night she turned in but stayed up late
75
At her desk with a single piece of paper and a papermate
76
Here's mom a federal team waked at daybreak
77
What she saw made her knees shake the death of dear Kate
78
The note said here's the future of your fuckin' perfect child
79
Please be proud I'm livin' for the now
80
Do your work, clean your room now
81
Take the makeup off your face now
82
Eat your dinner now, get off the phone now
83
Leave the boys alone now
84
Saturday night, you stayin' home now
85
Go to your room and sit alone now
86
Katie with the needle how
87
Look baby momma needs you now
88
Breathe now, God why did this have to be now
