Father Figure lyrics

[Intro]
Squat made the beat
Go Grizz
Winners Circle

[Chorus]
Father figure
I never met me a harder n*gga
You wasn't there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, n*gga
Father figure
I never met me a harder n*gga
You wasn't there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, n*gga
In the field, it's so cold
You suposed to be with me
But you movin' different and you movin' too bold
And that sh*t hit me, yeah, it hurt me, felt it all in my soul
Did you even want me? Yeah, that's one thing that I wanted to know, yeah

[Verse 1]
The streets raised me, I did it all on my own
You crazy, n*gga, you left me alone
I had to learn me the struggles of being a man, you know it
I got a chopper, was tryna run me up them bands, yeah, yeah, yeah
This sh*t is sad, the way that you move, you know I ain't feelin' that
Now you're missing your kid, you wish you was here, but no, I ain't hearin' that
Me and mama, we was struggling crazy, seem to call on the daily
Dead broke and nobody could save me, hit the world screamin', "Pay me"
If I have me a kid, you know that I'm stayin', it's never a choice
Had to turn to a man, the music and pain, it gave me a voice
sh*t is so cold, hurt me in my soul
You lost your kid forever, I'ma let you know
[Chorus]
Father figure
I never met me a harder n*gga
You wasn't there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, n*gga
Father figure
I never met me a harder n*gga
You wasn't there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, n*gga
In the field, it's so cold
You suposed to be with me
But you movin' different and you movin' too bold
And that sh*t hit me, yeah, it hurt me, felt it all in my soul
Did you even want me? Yeah, that's one thing that I wanted to know, yeah

[Verse 2]
Times change
I grew up, don't care if you don't come around no more, my brain
Is programmed to see when you walkin' up out of the door
I had to go after school, was actin' real cool, but that sh*t was f*ckin' me up
I had to fight and pick up a gun in the streets, but that sh*t just toughened me up
Then mama, she had met a man
Swear to God he showed me a hundred bands
Swear that I was on the run
But we held it down, he took care of the fam
I done been through it all
Gunshots, but it started with brawls
Seein' dead bodies lay on the floor
Man, I swear that I been through some wars
When I walk through the streets, I gotta look over my shoulder
I had beef with some n*ggas who wasn't just fighting, I bought me a toaster
Then pops found the gun in my room, ain't tell mama, no, he never told her
He showed me how to put it to use, and said, "n*gga, you gettin' older," yeah
[Chorus]
Father figure
I never met me a harder n*gga
You wasn't there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, n*gga
Father figure
I never met me a harder n*gga
You wasn't there but I started with you
Supposed to be with me regardless, n*gga
In the field, it's so cold
You suposed to be with me
But you movin' different and you movin' too bold
And that sh*t hit me, yeah, it hurt me, felt it all in my soul
Did you even want me? Yeah, that's one thing that I wanted to know, yeah
