[Chorus]
2
Papa was a rollin stone
3
But I wanna be the cover of a rollin stone
4
Only I know that I can't do it alone
5
Only I know that I can't do it alone
6
August 6 1981
7
I took my first breath
8
They said I smiled and cried till it was none left
9
I guess I knew what I was in for before hand
10
Miniature grown man haha
11
Third of three sons
12
Big bird and squirt guns
13
Aunt tamey dressed up like a clown
14
When I turned one
15
Scared the shit outta me but
16
Thanks for tryin
17
Sittin in my high chair
18
Throwin cake and cryin
19
I remember everything
20
Every single detail
21
Clingin on to daddys leg
22
Like don't leave I'll be good
23
I promise
24
I'll do anything dad honest
25
But he had to go to work and bust his ass for them dollars
26
Now it all makes sense
27
Back then I wasn't havin it
28
Obsessed with he man
29
So young and so adament
30
More concerned with castle grayskull than baseball
31
Then I learned if I worked a little I could have it all
32
All my friends got allowances
33
I had a paper route
34
And when no one was lookin I threw the papers out
35
Got caught made dad furious
36
Said if you gonna do somethin do it right
37
That's what earnest it
38
[Chorus]
39
Papa was a rollin stone
40
Workin hard while I'm home at alone
41
With some mcolly caulken shit
42
So be it
43
Little man had a plan
44
Followed through with it
45
But moms was so inconsiderate
46
Illiterate nope
47
I read the dictionary daily
48
Gift of gab of rap
49
And set sail
50
And step mom brought the whoop end of the stick
51
Nothin new to me
52
Don't act like my momma cause my dad bought you some jewelry
53
O the tom foolery
54
I sat back and watched pops play the ladies
55
Like just check mates
56
Six sibilings
57
Three diffrent moms
58
Can you imagine
59
Simply seein your pay check
60
Broken down to fractions
61
Papa was a pimp
62
Married four times
63
Indecisive tryin to strike a gold mine
64
Siftin through the sand
65
Somethin like a 49er
66
Numb to the point that my chest become a coal mine
67
But women come and go
68
And I'll be here till the bitter end pop
69
I'm just lettin you know
70
I never understood temptation
71
I guess we both got a little david rough in ms
72
Everybody sing it with us now
73
[Chorus][2x]
