Grew up without my father
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man

Daddy wasn't there
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man
Dodging bullets fuck the riper
Can't let em destroy the plan
Feeling under water, yeah yeah
Daddy wasn't there
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man
Dodging bullets fuck the riper
Can't let em destroy the plan
Feeling under water keep swimming survive the deep end

I became of age asking momma
Why she had to leave my father
Said she loved him not his drug problem
Pops wasn't there to hold my bottle
Miss feeding Symhir baby bottle
Learn the hard way life ain't promised tomorrow
Write the plan today sunrise already got obstacles
Not a second in a day, ion think about em
Shit!
Don't really know how I live without em
Put my pain in these verses don't need no pity party
Hard to make positive decisions when negatively bothered
Still hold my head high
Can't deny before you try
The more I live, the more I realize
Be on yo shit, neva lose yo grind
Be cautious who you letting in yo life
Folks hit the door running when yo drip dry
He persevering damn, him some guy
Always seeking growth giving effort till the day I die

Daddy wasn't there
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man
Dodging bullets fuck the riper
Can't let em destroy the plan
Feeling under water
Daddy wasn't there
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man
Dodging bullets fuck the riper
Can't let em destroy the plan
Feeling under water keep swimming survive the deep end
Daddy wasn't there
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man
Dodging bullets fuck the riper
Can't let em destroy the plan
Feeling under water
Daddy wasn't there
Had to grow up teach myself how to be a man
Dodging bullets fuck the riper
Can't let em destroy the plan
Feeling under water keep swimming survive the deep end

I love my dad
He takes me places
He buy me food
And teach me how to be a man
When all else fails
When all else fails still forced to be ah, be a man
When all else fails still forced to be ah
Gotta be a man
Be a man
When all else fails still forced to be ah, be a man
When all else fails still forced to be, be a man
We were at John's son funeral too
I was there
Yeah I remember you
And uh, I'm like why couldn't it be me not the little one
I'm the oldest, you know and it just hurts
Yeah we all shared those thoughts
Honey, if you need me you call me
