lirik lagu mik brown - father figure
[verse 1]
d-mn where do i begin?
these be the hardest words i ever wrote with my pen
i remember innocence, i was just a kid
wanting to have fun and get my father’s attention
you teaching lessons i don’t get to this day
cold heart and hard hand or belt, the welts made me pray
you’d stay gone providing for the home
does that make you a man, i’m not really sure
with sore heart and bruised cheeks moms coming to me
nightgown shredded, no there’s never any peace
and my brother he’s growing up to be a spitting image
i’m livid this life i’m living ain’t sh-t
i’m wishing for wisdom or a window out of this prison
i got issues too many to mention
listening to f-ck the world and i’m feeling the same
calling for my daddy but he never came
[hook]
father, how did you figure
i don’t need a father figure
fighting hard to erase these scars
tryna see the big picture
how could my father figure
i don’t need a father figure
so many tears shed throughout these years
how i missed ya, i missed ya
[verse 2]
she finally left, guess we’d all had it rough
picking up the pieces never seen a woman so tough
moms held us down, but that still wasn’t enough
i’m whiling out skipping cl-ss looking for love
in all the wrong places, truth is there’s no replacement
for a father daughter relationship
i sit in silence crying, i’m tired but trying
to carry on and be strong though inside i’m dying
writing letters to no response, what type of sh-t you on?
you got your guard up so how can we get along
i need answers, you’re indifferent so i’m gone, what’s the difference?
but inside i know that something’s wrong, i’m missing
my father, years go by we don’t speak
then we do and then i see what they mean by talk is cheap
nothing’s changed so i write you off in pen
can’t take the pain, so your name is never mentioned
[hook]
father, how did you figure
i don’t need a father figure
fighting hard to erase these scars
tryna see the big picture
how could my father figure
i don’t need a father figure
so many tears shed throughout these years
how i missed ya, i missed ya
[verse 3]
it’s 7am, i got 7 missed calls
seems in 7 minutes you gon visit the lord
f-ck i’m up in oakland and as i’m driving home
i seen the clouds part and i knew you were gone
how do i feel at this moment?
i pray for your soul, desperately needing consolement
i can’t get over the lost hope of future involvement
i’m p-ssed you never bothered to know your own daughter
if it’s death or be stronger, i must be a beast
fighting these demons daily so that you rest in peace
can’t keep hate in my heart so i try to appreciate
the strides you took in life and the progress you made
believe you did the best you were capable of
and accept that some men don’t know how to show love
or be loved, i pray to the lord above
for guidance, keep smiling and let him be the judge
[hook]
father, how did you figure
i don’t need a father figure
fighting hard to erase these scars
tryna see the big picture
how could my father figure
i don’t need a father figure
so many tears shed throughout these years
how i missed ya, i missed ya
