Daddy Issues

(Ayo Bad Boy)
 I ain't got no pride, they say pride comes before the fall
 It's like I'm livin' happy now
 My daughter sayin' "I love you, daddy" now
 And that kinda juice me up (let yo baby)
 My daddy didn't know his daddy
 And he wasn't much of a daddy to me
 It wasn't all his fault, he wasn't taught and that just added to it
 Coma from a bike wreck, hold up, hold up, mic check
 'Fore I pour my soul out for some folks that I ain't twice met
 I never saw my parents together, I got one picture
 When you get one side of the story, you most likely got some issues
 Always told I look just like him, same demons, I fight 'em
 Can't believe the pain won't leave, it's the same reason I'm writin' (yeah)
 I better do better, now and forever, never say never
 I never say no, my daughter gon' be spoiled rotten if I let her (yeah)
 Damn near cried from what Ki'elle told Roy in a letter (free Roy)
 Once they old enough to miss you, and you no longer together
 That's regretful
 It'll tear you apart, hurt you in the worst way
 Missing them firsts and them birthdays (mmm)
 Recitals, games and them field days (ay)
 Gotta be there to scare the prom date
 I can still hear my mom say
 "We don't need him, look, we straight
 Made it this far without child support
 And he don't pay bills where we stay
 Plus he cheated while I was still pregnant with you
 So what happened next was just an excuse
 I think she see him when she lookin' at me
 I grew up havin' to deal with that too
 Damn
 Ain't like I'm still five years old, you know?
 Ain't like I'ma be sitting up every night, asking my mom
 "When's daddy coming home," you know? Who needs him?
 To hell with him
 I'll be a better father than he ever was
 And I sure as hell don't need him for that
 'Cause ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me
 About how to love my kids

 How come he don't want me, man?
 Gotta forgive yourself first, had to be there so I left work
 Come to find out if your heart empty
 It don't matter what your net worth
 Living for a social network, dyin' for the attention
 I'm enjoyin' my truth even though y'all lies look so convincing
 I been dancin' to Baby Shark, when she go to sleep I watch Ozark
 More to life than going live, I'd rather go to the park
 Can't lie, I'm tired of Elmo, but she can't tell though
 Face that look just like me, act just like me, that I can't tell no
 Told her mama I hate her (yeah), that's how I felt though
 Deep down wishing we could all just stick together like Velcro
 My last fling had daddy issues, so she looked for love in the Chanel store
 Just like street niggas my father figures so I grew up wanting to sell dope
 No patience, anyone can make a baby (mmm)
 Take a man to be a real father, I done learned a lot from a lil' toddler
 (That's real) Leave it to me and she will prosper
 You a deadbeat then we ain't partnas (yeah)
 Can't keep causin' these same problems
