Circles

I personally had a peekaboo dad
He was consistently in and out of my life
I remember always wondering, did my dad really love me
And if he did, isn't love an action word, hmmm

Oh, what is your own life when you tell your whole life
Closest ones around you, cut them off, no knife
They thinking I'm wrong right but how long I must fight
Ain't wrong, how many times should I pick the phone up
Thats gone, I wish it was with you copping from corners
Came back home, got involved in that fufu shit
Im wrong for keeping it as real as truthful gets
It only get stronger, it only get stronger

I can feel the pain, wish you could feel the same
Revisit them times great grandma house playing on yo game
All the times I wish I went, flour bagged up in yo vent
Ma said don't ask questions, stay in a child's place so I did
I ain't know the meaning
Selling dope lowkey fiending
Now I can't even ask you the reason cause you out here fucking up
Maybe in December we could talk
Ion want a reason why my name involved in some bullshit
Please stop telling me at least talk
If you was seeing what im seeing, man its better if I wait it out
But still why I gotta talk
They gon say that im unfair but I just dont care
I ain't free 'til December just wait
They say ain't no love here, I say it ain't disappear
I never lost a family member, just wait

Oh, what is your own life when you tell your whole life
Closest ones around you, cut them off, no knife
They thinking I'm wrong right but how long I must fight
Ain't wrong, how many times should I pick the phone up
Thats gone, I wish it was with you copping from corners
Came back home, got involved in that fufu shit
Im wrong for keeping it as real as truthful gets
It only get stronger, it only get stronger

When we really look at it, when we really investigate deeper

Ok, lets talk for a minute
I been doing drugs, by the state I got a prescription
I ain't knocking no one down cause everyone got they thang
It ain't for us, it's for ya children thats gon go through the pain
They shouldn't have to
See a mans progress reaching to its plateau
Seeing shit we had to
Ain't no safer way to say it
A man in his 40's still playing
Grow up and do what dad's do

Oh, what is your own life when you tell your whole life
Closest ones around you, cut them off, no knife
They thinking I'm wrong right but how long I must fight
Ain't wrong, how many times should I pick the phone up
Thats gone, I wish it was with you copping from corners
Came back home, got involved in that fufu shit
Im wrong for keeping it as real as truthful gets
It only get stronger, it only get stronger
