lirik lagu black birdie - daddy dearest
[verse 1]
i used to love you to the moon and back
but now i only care with all the strings attached
long as we off the phone after ’bout fifteen minutes
i won’t crash out
remember when i failed my first test
and suddenly the kid you raised began to detest you and you, them?
but i guess it’s just havin’ a monster for a father
’cause that’s just life in a black house
i told myself over and over maybe it was all too new to you too
maybe the alcohol was flooding your judgment
and maybe now, you don’t recall what you did
and maybe now, huh, we’re just both too above it
maybe now you’re tryna make me proud but what’s that say about us?
’cause neither one of us is mentally sound
i did the work, you just keep shovin’ it down
i can’t stand the thought of comin’ back home because that ain’t my house
nah (nah), nah, that ain’t my hood
can’t fathom comin’ on back because my future look good
and i don’t wanna regret, like, who i’m tryna impress?
not you, that’s for d~mn sure, i gave you up when i was fourteen
remember when i tried being open and you said, “f~ck that”
you beat me down ’til i was broken, gold on my cracks
you worship donnie, were you holding his bible?
shoulda had your ass standing on trial, daddy dearest
(instrumental break)
[verse 2]
my biggest fear is you gon’ hurt them too
because my sister got mad love for you and i love her down too
i knew she was young but so was i, so true
she ain’t know any better, she thought she was lookin’ out for me
and that’s how it be, you know we got each other
even when we get into scr~ps, you know we got each other
even when she don’t text me back, you know we got each other
even though it’s been a while since we last called each other
my mama shoulda left you like forever ago
but you poisoned her mind with a promise
bet she regret that ten year difference now
wonder if she pushed through to keep the rest of us housed
smart and intelligent, strong~willed and black as h~ll
like from the motherland, my kickass mama, man
and even though i don’t identify, i’ll be her little man
she’ll always be my rock, the front man to the family band
hey, little bro, i don’t what the future has in store
me and sis tryna reach out, you keep closing the door
but we’ve been in your shoes, we know what you’re going through
you don’t gotta be alone, we wanna be there for you
wish i could go to your games but i’m just too far away
and i know it was my choice but it hurt too much to stay
i hope one day, you could forgive me for what i didn’t say
and i’m praying it’s by the day we put our dad in the grave, daddy dearest
