The Now Lyrics - I Phantom - Mr. Lif

(Verse 1) 

Daddy's got a new life now 

A new daughter and a new male child 

A new swagger wid some real style 

New car new house brand new spouse 

Little shitty dog named Pouts wid smile on his mouth 

We'll be straight up we're forgotten cause developed a plan 

Once the monkey takes some time to hang with his own fam 

Hap' and gay to let ya know he still cares and such 

Ya won't grow apart too much from bein' outta touch 

But he wasn't there for him on the daily ghetto basis 

In order to drop jewels I stay clear of the racists 

Heavy promises became weightless 

Sincerity became faintless 

He's praying for a Santa A-list 

Time is passin' by yet his scars remain ageless 

He called him on the phone to say pop's 

This'll take a minute of ya time 

But his wishes were divined 

By the disenchanted tone at the end of the line, hang up 

He tried to look strong in front of mom back up 

John stop lookin' forward to the day you gonna see him on 

Dry ya eye to eye and you'll receive an embrace 

From a lost heart that's pumpin' blood up to a guilty face 

He's gonna try to find ways to make up for the last twenty nine days 

Or was it thirty, I think he heard me 

In situations like this ya speech becomes wordy 

He's got a hundred million ways to tell me not to worry 

But this time I wasn't hangin' on his every sentence 

Ears crippled by the pain and negligence so was the tendence 

He spoke I couldn't hear a word I zoned into black I observed 

My only thoughts were missin' out on love that I deserved 

Tryin' to convince myself I'm weak within the mental 

The silence breaks because your father's guidance is essential 

He's lookin' down with a smile sayin' that the future will be great 

I don't see that dad, but what about the now? 

Johnny come and leave ya dad alone now 

Yeh it's just you and momma now 

Stop the cryin' now, just try to smile now 

Try to think of other things now 

Momma's got another date now 

You can get through all the anger and the hate now 

Calm down and wipe ya face now 

I know it seems to be hard 

but I promise you we'll make it through somehow

(Verse 2) 

Little girl their firstborn their sunshine 

Never been a reader wrong get it right one time 

Here's how it goes, she's off to school an' dancin' on her toes 

At an hour long ballet class then on to the piano 

Two hours of repetition, emulatin' class with music compositions 

Do your homework with precision 

By nine-o-clock she collapses in a heat of dizziness 

But sleep so tomorrow you'll repeat ya busi-ness 

She got straight A's a stroke of her stress 

Throughout her maydays but drawn up out the melees 

Her mom and dad tryna blame each other different ways she stop and gaze 

Thinkin' how it drives her crazy when their voices raised 

This the web that ruins most of her days 

From her perfection was expected 

an exec that workin' hard without receivin' any raise 

At night she cries when she lays 

Then she wakes up, washes up smiles and goes along like it's okay 

On to high school, there's more intensity within her cycle 

She's makin' all the guys drool 

Here comes the extra tight rules 

No late, not with college on the plate 

Practice hard, study hard stay in focus keep ya head straight 

Now she's a nervouse wreck, lookin' to collect 

Anything that she can smoke swallow drink or inject 

When she was mentally gone she went to the prom 

Had dates and actually could sit down 

discuss relationships with her mom 

But tell me how much pressure can a person take 

Before they break and maybe crush this on a large enough escape 

So one night she turned in but stayed up late 

At her desk with a single piece of paper and a papermate 

Here's mom a federal team waked at daybreak 

What she saw made her knees shake the death of dear Kate 

The note said here's the future of your fuckin' perfect child 

Please be proud I'm livin' for the now 

Do your work, clean your room now 

Take the makeup off your face now 

Eat your dinner now, get off the phone now 

Leave the boys alone now 

Saturday night, you stayin' home now 

Go to your room and sit alone now 

Katie with the needle how 

Look baby momma needs you now 

Breathe now, God why did this have to be now 

*scratching of line* "And Now!" (until fade)
