Cookin Soul - Have You Seen Him? lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't care, I don't care, I don't care if it ain't fair I ain't trying to be there, I don't really wanna share What I make with some chick in my ear And some kid in my face I'mma up and disappear Be clear I'm sincere I was telling you my fears I don't know if you ignored me or you didn't wanna hear I been there, my pops, my moms, they was scared I ain't scared, I'm terrified. I'mma go to hell if I Leave and continue the cycle, but I told you to k** it You was gripping the Bible like "let's pray, just stay" I can not be his idol, you not even my girl I ain't give you a title Listen to me, my own Daddy said "Son I'm running to the store." We was out of bacon or something, he wanted more All I can remember is his job had laid him off So maybe he was stealing that bacon and got caught Either that happened or maybe he got lost Cause 20 years pa**ed and he ain't walk back through the door Damn That sh** should be against the law I know this kid wasn't begging to be born I know that, I know what you saying, it's our fault We ain't have to go raw, I'm wrong oh Lord I remember like yesterday, staring at his picture Every Father's day I'd bother other grownups 'scuse me mister Have you seen him? He resembles me a tad bit, I think he walks with a bad limp I can't remember Every year I got sadder, I'm saying prayers writing letters to Santa That n***a ain't answer Saw him in the mall and I snapped. Can you bring my daddy back? Duke kicked me off his lap So you wonder why I'm lost Wonder why I'm pissed off I ain't never have a baby how much do they cost? [Hook] If you love your seeds then let them know Better yet be there to see them grow, Have you seen him? No he never ever came back home Leaving Mama working on her own, have you seen him? [Verse 2] I guess I'm actually bitter, we dudes should take heed strap up when you with her sh** is really real, you'll be like Shaquille O'neal's Father, see your son rich and try to get back in the picture But the frame's on tight and it's a family portrait Step daddy stepped in and you can't even force it There's a thin line between murdering and abortion And the pill you can take right after the morning But when all else fails there's a life that's depending on Guidance, teaching, and love and a friend to call Or better yet a support system to show How a man supposed to be when he's grown And you wonder why hoes, be existing or why kids join sets How mamas, can become babymamas and be upset Cause we don't wanna give up shoe coppin' for school shopping Be there or leave, there's 2 options And one of 'em f**s up the world You don't love the girl, the child's left alone, she wilds out, she roams The boy wrecks his dome and you know the story Who says the kid's mine call Maury? [Hook] [Bridge] Momma you did everything you can Momma you did everything you can But you can't teach me to be a man You can't teach me to be a man Someone raise a hand, look Momma you did all that you could Momma you did all that you could It's really all good but You just can't teach fatherhood You can't teach fatherhood Someone help me look Have you seen him?
