[Verse 1] This is not to complain, everything's all great Wonder if what I am and what I portray correlates Issues in my life I gotta sort straight Mom I hope you don't take this shit the wrong way See, I ain't come clean with a lot of things We've always got along and I know that you're wondering What I'm on about and why I'd put it in a song But there's a lot of things single mothers doing wrong And I think we need to talk about it My dad failed to be the man you needed But I know you really feel lost without him Or atleast it looks like it I really miss the happy times, wish we could go back But I don't know if you would like it I know that dad was too safe and he never changed You wished that he'd become more at a lesser age Instead he was just a teacher and he was cool with that But love matters the most so how would you react If he said he was sorry and forgiveness is a gift And all of a sudden your ex husband became rich And he paid more attention to his beautiful kids And asked you to marry him again Would it be bliss mama? [Verse 2] This is not to complain, everything's all great I wonder if what I am and what I portray correlates Issues in my life I gotta sort straight Dad I hope you don't take this shit the wrong way But you could've done better for your family If you had stepped out of your comfort zone Into a gallery of opportunities that were waiting for you All you had to do was wake up and move I mean you laced me with tools to take over the world And I wish you could have done the same The song is not about blame, that is not the aim Just a couple of things that got me worried And please don't get me wrong this is not about money And I know, I don't know what it takes to raise kids With a woman that loves you but always says you ain't shit In front of your kids, I mean you're supposed to be Superman I still say there ain't no nigga that is cooler than my dad I wish I could boomerang all the weed indulging But now he got a new wife and I feel lost without him Man we used to be a team, we were inseparable I just hope this whole thing is repairable, I miss you dad [Verse 3] It's probably the realest song that I ever wrote It's probably the one on the album that they'll never quote I've been thinking a lot lately, things I never post I've been drinking a lot lately, but atleast I never smoke Seems like they love the ones where I'm superhuman I know you look at me for answers but I'm also clueless I'm also clueless when it comes to things that really matter Excuse my current behavior but I'm really fed up I'm just tryna say I'm human too And all the things that I'm doing are things that you could do Instead y'all spend your time judging the next man I hate y'all niggas as much as I hate the tax man I hate fame, would it be worth it if I did it for wealth? I know I'm not always right but I'm always myself And if I change I'll have no one to blame If anything, the hate should validate that I'm great - Refiloe
