| [00:08.49] |
I can't I won't I can't |
| [00:11.19] |
I won't let you leave |
| [00:16.64] |
|
| [00:18.49] |
I don't know what you want |
| [00:20.94] |
|
| [00:21.45] |
You want more from me |
| [00:26.69] |
She said to him "I want you to be a father |
| [00:29.61] |
He's your little boy and you don't even bother |
| [00:32.12] |
|
| [00:32.85] |
Like 'Brother' without the R and he's starting to harbor |
| [00:36.35] |
Cool and food for thought but for you he's a starver" |
| [00:39.04] |
"Starting to use red markers on his work |
| [00:41.34] |
His teacher say they know he's much smarter but he's hurt |
| [00:44.65] |
Used to hand his homework in first |
| [00:46.45] |
Like he was the classroom starter" |
| [00:48.56] |
"Burst to tears let them know she see us |
| [00:51.65] |
Now he's fighting in class |
| [00:53.00] |
Got a note last week that say he might not pass |
| [00:55.54] |
Ask me if his daddy was sick of us |
| [00:57.72] |
'Cause you ain't never pick him up" |
| [00:59.35] |
|
| [00:59.90] |
"You see what his problem is |
| [01:01.42] |
|
| [01:02.31] |
He don't know where his poppa is |
| [01:03.75] |
|
| [01:04.58] |
No positive male role model |
| [01:06.72] |
To play football and build railroad models" |
| [01:09.38] |
"He's making a hole you've been digging it |
| [01:11.38] |
'Cause you ain't been kicking it |
| [01:12.74] |
Since he was old enough to hold bottles |
| [01:14.86] |
Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that |
| [01:16.74] |
He don't deserve to get used to that" |
| [01:18.79] |
|
| [01:19.33] |
"Now I ain't asking you for money or to come back to me |
| [01:21.99] |
Some days it ain't sunny but it ain't so hard |
| [01:24.16] |
|
| [01:25.18] |
Just breaks my heart when I try to provide |
| [01:27.62] |
And he say 'Mommy that ain't your job'" |
| [01:29.35] |
|
| [01:29.99] |
To be a man I try to make him understand |
| [01:32.75] |
That I'm his number one fan |
| [01:34.46] |
But it's like he born from the stands |
| [01:36.25] |
You know the world is out to get him |
| [01:37.85] |
|
| [01:38.36] |
So why don't you give him a chance?" |
| [01:40.22] |
I can't I won't I can't |
| [01:42.77] |
I won't let you leave |
| [01:48.23] |
|
| [01:49.14] |
Now now I don't know what you want |
| [01:53.07] |
You want more from me |
| [01:57.72] |
|
| [01:58.43] |
So he said to him "I want you to be a father |
