Father Figure (live) Lyrics - Nick Grant

When I was a young nigga you were like my idol 

Still you left me for pussy, this shit just goes in cycles 

Man it's a shame, gotta watch your path when the ones that guide you 

Wish I could be more two-facested, cause shit, I look just like you 

Heart on my sleeve, was barely five and watched my momma cry 

You blacked her eye cause you was snaking, had her wrapped in lies 

All I could think about was rapid fire, blasting nines 

Go ask for God, I pray the pastor got some slacks your size 

So asinine, my be-ginning's no different, we were you and living poor 

Used to beat my brother cause you said the nigga wasn't yours 

As my niggas get all the shit that my momma couldn't afford 

Man she still addicted cause you introduced her to the raw 

Eddie Kane, how you came back just singing that some old song 

Sipping empty 20/20, put some hair up on your balls lil nigga 

This shit just hurts my heart, tryna paint a perfect picture 

Ain't no filter for these thoughts, 

And I just want my father

Inside I'm praying for help 

And niggas wonder why I stay to myself 

No daddy titles, them lables'll get you placed on a shelf 

Aye, who gon call the shots 

When I gave this game to myself 

I'm on the rise, just know your son is raising himself 

I wrote this song so I forgive you 

When I start then there's my blessing 

Feel sorry for my sister, hope your karma doesn't catch her 

Your blood is running through my veins 

Still crying tears thick enough to wash away the pain 

Why should I answer your call 

Remember screaming "I can't wait to grow up" 

Man you said you was on your way 

But you ain't never show up 

That's fucked up, my shoes scuffed up 

Wish I could say I followed your steps 

But never that, the hood judged us 

Trust this shit is hard and now I need a challenge 

But all these unstable homes left a nigga unbalanced 

Peep how I dress up my feelings 

How could I be so stylish 

These are the long-term effects of dealing with your absence 

Now you wanna be a father nigga?

Yeah, feel this, uh 

Sorry I made your shit hard, 

and all that shit you saw I did to your moms 

We never found our way, 

it chased us at odds, these are the dangers I've caused 

You kept your distance, dissed me, then placed up a wall, face it 

Our love's a test and I pray i ace it tomorrow; wasted 

This alcohol kicks in 

I get the courage to face all the things that I resent 

Wish I could try again, but she's no saint, 

please don't think I'm pointing fingers nigga 

'Cause these attempts are so genuine, I'm so anxious 

And dying, your trying to make peace while I'm here 

Hungry for forgiveness my nigga, don't feed me this fear 

Just let me know when you get this call 

Cause every second you let pass 

I get closer to God 

I lost my heart nigga 

Hey Nick, this is your Aunt May. 

I'm just calling to tell you that your dad passed this morning 

It's a big pill to swallow, 

But stay strong and give me a call when you get up 

Love you
