Father Figure

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold Pulled up to you in the Jag', turned your rags into gold The winding road leads to the chateau "You remind me of a younger me," I saw potential [Chorus] I'll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger This love is pure profit, just step into my office I dry your tears with my sleeve [Post-Chorus] Leave it with me, I protect the family Leave it with me, I protect the family [Verse 2] I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain Said, "They wanna see you rise, they don't want you to reign" I showed you all the tricks of the trade All I asked for is your loyalty, my dear protégé [Chorus] I'll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger This love is pure profit, just step into my office They'll know your name in the streets [Post-Chorus] Leave it with me, I protect the family [Bridge] I saw a change in you (I saw a change, saw a change in you) My dear boy They don't make loyalty like they used to (Not like they used to) Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition On foolish decisions, which led to misguided visions That to fulfill your dreams You had to get rid of me I protect the family [Chorus] I was your father figure, we drank that brown liquor You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick's bigger You want a fight? You found it, I got the place surrounded You'll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drowning Whose portrait's on the mantel? Who covered up your scandals? Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled I was your father figure, you pulled the wrong trigger This empire belongs to me [Post-Chorus] Leave it with me, I protect the family Leave it with me, I protect the family Leave it with me [Outro] "You know, you remind me of a younger me" I saw potential
