J-Soul - Father Figure lyrics

[Verse] Hey father figure, father figure Led us wrong man, I'm just being honest with ya Look at us, we just a product of your malnutrition We was born cause you didn't have a condom with ya Mama's boy, mama's boy Up in school wearing brown corduroys At recess, heard the sound of your voice Not related yet we all share this story, that makes us brothers Mama never asked you for the child support Didn't show me drama and didn't hound the courts She told me that your father did the same thing Her love was strong enough for me to maintain Plus we all make mistakes I still love you and I tell that to your face I swear to God, yo I never held one grudge I swear I never held one grudge Or wait maybe so, cause when I was 8 years old Mama got married, now my step daddy run the show, tension Tension like the scene of a crime "You ain't my father" was the thoughts on my mind That was undeserved, granny made me pancakes Mrs. bu*terworth syrup pourin' While my uncle tryna make me go to church to worship my father Looking back now, how ironic See uncle Mark took me hooping, crossover dribble Then he took me shooting, Jordan's my hero Another father figure who really ain't mine Penny Hardaway, Iverson and Kobe Bryant Listening to Snoop, listening to Dre 2pac, Biggie, Nasir, of course Jay Listening to rappers who ain't grew up with their fathers The same story for me and all of my partners [Bridge] Don't go, don't go Said don't go, don't go Don't go, don't go Said don't go, don't go, don't go Don't go, don't go Don't go, don't go Don't go, don't go Don't go, don't go, don't go I need you and you need me So tell me what happened to our family tree Said I need you and you need me So tell me what happened to our family tree [Hook] I'm just a father figure, looking for a father figure Tell me where's the father figures? Oh now you wanna be a father figure I need a father figure, surrounded by these father figures Looking for some father figures Oh now you wanna be a father figure
