1
Papa was a rollin' stone
2
But I wanna be the cover of a rollin' stone
3
Only I know that I can't do it alone
4
Only I know that I can't do it alone
5
August 6 1981, I took my first breath
6
They said I smiled, they cried till it was none left
7
I guess I knew what I was in for before hand
8
Miniature grown man, third of three sons
9
Big bird and squirt guns
10
Aunt Tamey dressed up like a clown when I turned one
11
Scared the shit outta me but thanks for tryin'
12
Sittin' in my high chair, throwin' cake and cryin'
13
I remember everything, every single detail
14
Clingin' on to daddy's leg like don't leave I'll be good
15
I promise, I'll do anything, dad, honest
16
But he had to go to work and bust his ass for them dollars
17
Now it all makes sense, back then I wasn't havin' it
18
Obsessed with He-man, so young and so adamant
19
More concerned with Castle Gray Skull than baseball
20
Then I learned if I worked a little, I could have it all
21
All my friends got allowances, I had a paper route
22
And when no one was lookin' I threw the papers out
23
Got caught, made dad furious
24
Said if you gonna do somethin', do it right, that's what earnest it
25
Papa was a rollin' stone
26
But I wanna be the cover of a rollin' stone
27
Only I know that I can't do it alone
28
Only I know that I can't do it alone
29
Papa was a rollin' stone
30
Workin' hard while I'm at home alone
31
With some Mcolly Caulken shit, so be it
32
Little man had a plan, followed through with it
33
But moms was so inconsiderate, illiterate, nope
34
I read the dictionary daily, gift of gab of rap
35
And set sail and step mom brought the whoop end of the stick
36
Nothin' new to me, don't act like my momma
37
'Cause my dad bought you some jewelry, o the tom foolery
38
I sat back and watched pops play the ladies
39
Like just check mates, six sibling, three different moms
40
Can you imagine? Simply seein' your pay check
41
Broken down to fractions
42
Papa was a pimp, married four times
43
Indecisive, tryin' to strike a gold mine
44
Siftin' through the sand, somethin' like a 49er
45
Numb to the point that my chest become a coal mine
46
But women come and go
47
And I'll be here till the bitter end, pop, I'm just lettin' you know
48
I never understood temptation
49
I guess we both got a little David Ruffin in us
50
Everybody sing it with us now
51
Papa was a rollin' stone
52
But I wanna be the cover of a rollin' stone
53
Only I know that I can't do it alone
54
Only I know that I can't do it alone
55
Papa was a rollin' stone
56
But I wanna be the cover of a rollin' stone
57
Only I know that I can't do it alone
58
Only I know that I can't do it alone
