bast*rd Child lyrics
by Pharrell Williams
[Verse 1]
You know it, it ain't about the toys
'Cause your daddy changed since you was a boy
Now your siblings talking sh*t
Won't remember, the rest forget
That when daddy changed, so did your environment
Well, they watched you get beatings and call names
But you would just stare and look up at the planes
Late at night, you'd see the stars and wonder who you are
With your hopeless imagination and wondering why you came
[Chorus]
You're a bast*rd child
Born from a love affair
Remember the master, yourself
While you're scorned
And nothing's fair
[Verse 2]
Thеy said imagination was a dungeon
And nothing would come from it, but nothing
But the cloud didn't movе
And your grandma's words proved
That nothing could be carved into something
Those mental abusers
Troublemakers
Accusers
Supposed to be a Christian family
How you gon' let the devil use you?
I bet the honey's bittersweet
From the stripe-less honeybee
Who escaped from the jar
Gotta remember who you are
[Chorus]
You're a bast*rd child
Born from a love affair
Remember the master, yourself
While you're scorned
And nothing's fair
[Verse 3]
The moral to the story is things happen
Things you can't answer, understand, or imagine
But the seed that wasn't there
May indeed change the world
And give wings to young souls, and teach them to flap them
Maybe you should take a look inside of you
And ask yourself, who am I to you?
Would I lead you astray?
Or show you the way?
'Cause karma comes around, and when it does, are you okay?
[Chorus]
You're a bast*rd child
Born from a love affair
Remember the master, yourself
While you're scorned
And nothing's fair
[Outro]
