Phora - Just Like My Father lyrics

Momma said life's gunna hit you quick I thought I knew it all Til' I had my first couple of tours through the hall Los Padrinos to EastLake coping out, Hit the compound Cuz after that you hear Y.A straight lockdown House arrest got me stressed, some scissors in my hand Trying to cut it off, can't even go eat dinner with the Fam I got violations like an asian's driving record Probation got me by a noose, I'm hanging by a tether My P.O says he's trynna help But honestly I think he's trynna help me on the shelf And book me in He said I'm just like my crooked friends He said he don't see my heart I tell "Feel my pain and look again" We come from two different places Funny how you judge me on what's displaced in my cases Completely denying the fact thats far from my bases Since we earned a couple felonies ya'll think we ain't sh** And I know you know you think I'm sh** I ain't tough, but sure these n***as know that I ain't no b**h And everytime I hear some good news out The bad news comes in I'm done dealin' with women and they a**umptions Askin' themselves will they be faithful and can I trust him I ain't got time for girls with they misleading discussions Answer my question with a "Yes" or a "No" Cuz I ain't got time for your little mixed messages yo Used to hold my anger in, but now I'm lettin' show Cuz people I know that pa**ed away promised me never to go And I can't get, Rid of the pain inside I swear I hear the angels cry Steady movin' towards the light hoping to stay alive Cuz darkness devours your soul until the day you die We livin' in sin because Adam believed in Satan's lie But I used measure grams in the baggies And bit off more than I can chew Cuz I thought that they would never catch me Now Im locked up in a cell with no mail from my friends and family And I guess thats what they meant when they said I'm just like my daddy, n***a
