Read All About It

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
 I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
 So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
 They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
 Nothing to hide, stifle or smother
 Suffered and cried, strife made me tougher
 Never mumbled or shy to trouble I rise above all
 Expectations forget rep
 Ain't never begged yet
 When I wanted to get pence hustle
 To be I am exactly what my neck says
 That sket said I tried to cash in on my Dad's death
 I wanted to vent but I never said fuck all
 After all you were never kin to me
 Family is something that you never been to me
 In fact making it harder for me to see my father
 Was the only thing that you ever did for me
 I wanna sing, I wanna shout
 I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
 So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
 They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
 (Dear Dad)
 As a kid I looked up to you
 Only thing was I never saw enough of you
 The last thing I said to you was I hated you
 I loved you and now it's too late to say to you
 Just didn't know what to do and how to deal with it
 Even now deep down I'm still livid
 To think I used to blame me
 I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me
 I wasn't even five, life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride
 You never even got to see me rhyme
 I just wish you woulda reached out
 I wish you would have been 'round when I been down
 I wish that you could see me now
 Wherever you are I really hope you found peace
 But know that if I ever have kids
 Unlike you I'll never let them be without me
 I wanna sing, I wanna shout
 I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
 So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
 They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
 I write songs I can't listen to
 Everything I have to give to you
 And every one of these lines I sing to you
 My job's more like public service
 My life just became yours to read and interpret
 If you heard it and come across a lot different at times
 I throw fits when I read how they word things
 You see me smile
 Now you're gonna have to see me hurting
 'Cause pretending everything is all right
 When it ain't, really isn't working
 I wanna sing, I wanna shout
 I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
 So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
 They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
 I ain't censoring myself for nobody
 I'm the only thing I can be
 All that is good, all that is bad, all that is, me
 I wanna sing, I wanna shout
 I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
 So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
 They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
