Look at my life |
|
Look at my pain |
|
Look at my tears |
|
These tears I shed |
|
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
|
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
|
I know you're working, I appreciate your grind |
|
You give me everything I need, but I really want your time (I want your time) |
|
I must confess, it's hard to express how I'm feeling |
|
But I'm growing blocks of bitterness, quickly becoming buildings |
|
Listen, you're never home |
|
To the point to that I don't notice when you're gone |
|
I'm getting older, but I'm growing all alone (I'm all alone) |
|
How can you raise me, without even knowing me? |
|
Everything I do, is just to get you to notice me (I miss you) |
|
Realize, you're the great influence in my life |
|
And you're absence just might be what's ruining my life (you're ruing my life) |
|
I got questions, but we don't talk on the usual |
|
My friends are having sex, and I'm wondering, should I do it too? (What should I do?) |
|
Who should I go to, if you are never there? (Where?) |
|
And if you never ask, will you ever be aware? (Be aware) |
|
You say you care for me, you don't get it apparently! |
|
I'm young and just a child, I need my parent to parent me! |
|
Look at my life |
|
Look at my pain |
|
Look at my tears |
|
These tears I shed |
|
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
|
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
|
I know you're hustling (I know), I see you on your grind |
|
You give me everything I need, but I really want your time (I want your time) |
|
I stay in fresh J's, laced in new gear |
|
But I would trade it all, if I'd only have you here |
|
I smell the dough that you blowing, cuz it be so potent |
|
Oh yeah, I notice, but you don't think I'ma wanna smoke it? (I wanna blow) |
|
I see your love for the streets, and I want that love too |
|
You taught me to be hard, but you rarely tell me, "I love you" (I love you)(Please love me) |
|
Moms be mad, she always be talking bad about you |
|
But honestly, Dad, I don't think I'll become a man without you |
|
And she be gone, matter of fact she never home |
|
She come into work, and I'm living like I'm already grown |
|
I gotta place to stay, then get ta shop at the mall |
|
But I'll honestly say, I don't have no guidance at all |
|
You say you care for me, but don't know I can barely read |
|
I'm young and just a child, I need my parents to parent me! |
|
Look at my life |
|

|

|
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
|
I know you're in Church, I see your love for God (I do) |
|
You give me everything I need, but I really need your time (I need your time) |
|
Your godly life and love for people amazes me |
|
But tell me should the Church take my mom and my dad away from me? |
|
I say this simply, you know a lot spiritually |
|
Involved in ministry, but often, you don't remember me (Remember me?) |
|
You teach the Youth and show them how to model and live (Yep) |
|
But at home you've never shown me what the Gospel is (Father I need you) |
|
How can you share with those seem direly hopeless? |
|
Inside I cry, cuz we've never cracked the Bible open |
|
And I'm dealing with pressure, and don't know what to do |
|
Know what it's like to be the only Christian in your school? |
|
I bump that 1-1-6, they tell me to live unashamed (I'm ashamed) |
|
But that's hard when those around you are on another thing |
|
You study thoroughly, but don't get it apparently! |
|
I'm a babe in the faith, I need my parents to parent me! |
|
Look at my life |
|
Look at my pain |
|
Look at my tears |
|
These tears I shed |
|
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to |
|
Cuz of the days that I spend without you |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone) |
|
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away |
|
Mama I need you.. And daddy I need you... |
