00:00I waited, every birthday, every Christmas, every time mom cried
00:09But he never came, so I became everything he wasn't, yeah
00:18Mama said he left before you learn how to walk
00:22Now I stomp through life with this thunderous talk
00:25I ain't ask for this pain, it was part of the deal
00:28Now I carry his name, but it don't even feel real
00:31All these scars on my soul, got his fingerprint
00:33Taught myself how to fight, ain't no innocence
00:36Used to stare at the door, just hoping he'd show
00:39Now I wish I could see him, just to break his nose
00:42Daddy never came, so I raised myself
00:44Talked in love with a fist and a hateful
00:46All I wanted was a man who would stand for me
00:49Now I'm the ghost he was and I can't break free
00:52They say he was broken, he ain't know how to stay
01:05Well fuck that, I needed a father, not some excuse to pray
01:08He made a seed, but he ain't make a man
01:10So I became one, with blood on my hands
01:13Got demons he left, living rent free
01:16Whole life's a war with the half, that's me
01:19I swore I'd never be like him, never run
01:21But some days I vanish, just like he done
01:24Daddy never came, so I raised myself
01:27Talked in love with a fist and a hateful help
01:29All I wanted was a man who would stand for me
01:32Now I'm the ghost he was and I can't break free
01:36I see his face in the mirror
01:46And I punch till it cracks
01:49Trying to kill the past, but it always fights back
01:52If you ever hear this
01:58Don't come looking
02:00Already buried you
02:03But I'm still
02:06Digging me out
