Fathers Day

Lyrics

[Intro] Donnie Houston [Verse 1] Bougie folks, I'm feelin' outta place But I heard they got Italian foods you gotta taste Chandeliers and every table got a pasta dish Dressed in suits, I swear this shit look like a mobster flick I'm Rick, and I'll be here to serve and take your order Would you like red wine? Some liquor? Maybe water? The artichoke is delicious, sir, and it's great for starters I'm actually meetin' someone here, I'll just wait to order (Okay) Matter fact, I'll take some vodka when you bring that toast And s— (Sir? Sir?) Starin' at the man I just seen walk between them doors The way my body froze, dog, you'd swear you think I seen a ghost So familiar, lookin' like someone I seen before Same eyes, even nose, same size ring and clothes Mama always told me that the first impressions mean the most But I've been waitin' my whole fuckin' life to let these demons go My body numb as he approaches I grew up in the slums with the roaches 'cause his bum left me hopeless No Santa at my door, just a fuckin' eviction notice Goddamn, mane, let me gain my focus, fuck He walk up, extend his hand, and look me in the eye I accept and tryna hide the evil in disguise 'Cause truth be told I wanna tell him come meet me outside Put a cannon to his temple, cock, squeeze, watch you die (Hey, how've you been, son?) How I been? Man, what the hell you mean? You don't know me, how you act concerned for one you've never seen? Where the fuck was you when I was young and had to grow with fiends? House full of junkies, mane, I swear my crib was Medellín It's all nightmares in the gutter, we don't ever dream Never smile (Sh-sh-sh, son), bitch, you could get it too, ho, that's on everything (Son, son) I hate you, nigga, I can't say it no other way (Woah, hey, listen, calm down) I hope you never live to see another day (Calm down) Nice to meet you, ho [Verse 2] I feel the pain as I enter the room The sudden change of scene got my mental confused Lookin' hopeless and stiff in a tube It seemed like yesterday we met, today you gotta live through a tube Lookin' up to God, am I missin' the clues? I hoped he die, but I didn't know that my wish would come true But then again as I'm lookin' at him full of drugs That resentment built up in me whispered, "Pull the plug" I grew up lost and out of tone, tryna move with thugs Anyone who took me in, funny what we do for love Poor as shit, shoes lookin' like them hoes been through the mud Mama can't afford herself, fuck she suppose to do with us? No gifts for Christmas, birthdays, no calls from you No pitch and catch, all that bullshit that a father do Word out, you got another son and a daughter too But left me out to dry, bitch, you wonder why my heart removed? But what if that's false? What if your part confused? What if mama lyin' and just wanted me far apart from you? What if you was locked up, wrote me, but I ain't read the kite? Shit, wake your ass up, dog, don't leave me twice Knees startin' to buckle, a face full of sickness I'm actin' like I'm perfect, all the fake shit I committed All the lies that I done told, all these games I played with bitches Who the fuck was I to judge? I should be gettin' a sentence So that's the past now, hold a grudge would rob us, trickle why but I get it Honor thy father, it's in the Bible, even if they ain't did shit Coulda been aborted for a few of them dollars, never made it out that clinic Now I stand with so much to say, but wasted my time expressin' my hate and now it's too late [Outro] Happy Fathers Day
