Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Yea[C]h
Yeah
[G]Look, I just shed

[Verse 2]
[Em]tears homie and no I
ain't too proud to admit it
Just seen my father [G]for
the first time in a minute
[C]When I say a minute I mean years man
Damn, a whale could have
[G]swam in them tears fam
[Em]'Cause as I left 'em I reflected
on my younger days
When it was just me and [G]my brother
and my mother played
Father, 'cause [C]no other man bothered
Not even my biological,
it never seemed [G]logical
But I accep[Em]ted it 'cause I
ain't know no better
Thought I was brighter than
a Polo sweater
No pops [G]was like Martin
with no Coretta
So many [C]things you could
have told me
And saved me the trouble
of letting my mistakes [G]show me
I feel like you barely know me
[Em]And that's a shame 'cause our last
name is the same
That blood type [G]flowing through
our veins is the same
My [C]mama left you and it may be
that anger's to blame
But that's no [G]excuse,
only you and God know the [Em]truth
On why you only called monthly,
barely ever saw me
[D]Spend some summer[G]s with you and
played with my cousin Maury
[C]Maybe I should be telling you "fuck
you" 'cause you [G]selfish
[C]But I want a [Em]father so bad,
I can't [Bm]help but

[Verse 3]
Break [Em]down[C]
I break [G]down
Can't help but break [C]down
I break down
Yeah, I never [B]thought I'd see my

[Verse 4]
[Em]mama on that shit,
man
It's fucking with her body,
now she [G]sick, damn
I wanted a big [C]house with a white
picket fence and a pool
Who would have [G]ever thought that it
would come to this, man?
Quick[Em]sand is what this life feel like
That shit these rappers [G]kick
is nothing like real life
You made [C]a milli off of serving
hard white? Yeah right
My mama tell you what ad[G]dicted
to that pipe feel [Em]like
Stupid niggas,
I heard the cops be shooting niggas
[G]I swear to God,
wish I could bulletproof my niggas
[C]Can't get no jobs,
but they still recruiting niggas
We trying to stand [Em]tall when
it get too crucial [Bm]niggas

[Verse 5]
Break [Em]down, [C]we break dow[G]n
We break [C]down, we break down
Break the [B]break down

[Verse 6]
[C]Yeah, [B]he's serving time,
locked [Em]down
And she don't want [C]nobody to know
[Em]His [G]daughter 2[C]5 pounds
By the time he get out,
[G]she gon' be 4
Now will his [Em]girl stay down?
Ain't no doubt she love [G]him, yeah
that's for sure
But temptation stays [C]'round
And if she strayed,
how could [G]he ever know? Never know
[Em]And so, she goes to the club
on the weekend
A little [G]freaking, but them niggas holler,
but she [C]never speakin'
But tonight I see the devil
creeping
'Cause she [G]been lonely,
she ain't felt a man in [Em]seven seasons
Damn! She doin' the best
that she can
Her mama [G]tellin' her to find another man
She [C]college educated with a felon
boyfriend
That's what she [G]thinkin' tonight
Maybe she's [Em]right, but please
