Plain Pat - Father's Day lyrics

[Verse 1] Whats the purpose of a father? Shiiit, I'm doing pretty good without mine I even grew to be a man while he was serving his time So whats the use it? I got a pop dukes in my moms I mean hey, I don't care bout you missing some graduations Thanksgiving, Christmas's, every time that I played in No Father figures, just bigger sisters to raise him Sending jail pictures to get a look at your face, man These are moments pictures ain't replacing Love me all my life, but you'll never find your way in How could you love someone that you were never there for? Therefore my lack of love won't let me feel yours And I'm reminded every Father's Day Years of birthdays you never sent a call my way Years I needed male advice and you were gone away "Have faith, God is your Father" thats what my Mom would say [Hook] But some times I really wish I grew to know and love the reason I exist cause On the real, ain't nothin that I wouldn't give Just to be with (My Father) I think I need a therapist But some times I really wish He taught me how to ride a bike or how to drive a whip, thats Probably reason that I still can't do the ish Because I needed a, because I needed a [Verse 2] Nah, I don't care about all that I've become a master at ignoring my own past Blow gra**, cypher with the Phonies, go home Mama compare me to the man that I'm embarra**ed to call "Dad" I be high, in my genes so I see why 3rd grade, you got out, bow ties, bean pies Reppin in new movements, told me that I shouldn't do music No fast food, no red meat "I'm back no, get used to it" You weren't packing 4 bags and moving into shelters No support, she was by herself and nobody helped her So I don't wanna read your pamphlets or messages How you gettin married t a tramped in Connecticut When the wedding is, how rap is irrelevant And how you won't claim ebony cause she's a lesbian I blame you for keeping us from each other And me not knowing my sister well enough to say I love her [Hook 2] But sometimes I really wish You were around to raise me & my bigger sis, see We try chatting but it doesn't really click Because we need our (Father) I think I need a therapist But some times I really wish He taught me how to ride a bike or how to drive a whip, thats Probably reason that I still can't do the ish Because I needed a, because I needed a [Bridge]
