I spent 23 years
trying to be what you wanted me to be
Though it seemed like you couldn't save me
'Til I picked up the mic and I was on the TV
Now you're ringing off my phone like every week
But, where were you at 6,7,11 and 13 when shit was impossible
Mama left nine months pregnant
But she came home alone from the hospital
How could you call yourself a man
If you can't love your own unless you can control them
You'd rather destroy their souls and
She was 13 years old and
You could've protected the innocence from being stolen and
And I don't give a damn what you was going through
When mama wasn't able
To put food on the table
You left the family unstable
Now you come around acting like you want some kind of appraisal
Chorus:
You can't play like you daddy now
And you can't claim shit 'cause you weren't around
And you can't get mad but what can you do?
You can't tell me shit
I'm grown without you
I spent 23 years trying to be the f***ing man you should be
Taking care of your responsibility
Putting clothes on our back and shoes on our feet
No help, but you always had your bag of weed
Where were you at 12,13, 14 and 15 when life was unlivable
Momma was so damn angry
The way she treated me was unforgivable
You call yourself a man
Your oldest son he had to learn from his sister
How to put a niggers fist up, how to f*** a niggas shit up
And knock out any motherf****r that had come and tried to diss us
And I don't give a damn what you was going through
And I needed saving I spent my every second blazing
A little girl with a blade and
Trying to f*** up and take my life just wanted to dig my grave and..
Repeat Chorus Twice
I'm grown without you
I've grown without you
Cant cant cant come on come on
Tell me do not Credit: Unknown
