    Look, I just shed tears homie and now I ain't to proud to admit it
    Just seen my father for the first time in a minute
    And when I say a minute I mean years man
    Damn, a whale could have swam in them tears fam
    Cause as I left em' I reflected on my younger days
    When it was just me and my brother and my mother played
    Father, cause no other man bothered
    Not even my biological, it never seemed logical
    But I accepted it cause I ain't know no better
    Thought I was brighter than a Polo sweater
    No pops was like Martin with no Coretta
    So many things you could have told me
    And saved me the trouble of letting my mistakes show me
    I feel like you barely know me
    And that's a shame cause our last name is the same
    That blood type flowing through our veins is the same
    My mama left you and it may be that anger's to blame
    But that's no excuse, only you and God know the truth
    And why you only call monthly, barely ever saw me
    Spend some summers with you and played with my cousin Maury
    Maybe I should be tellin' you fuck you cause you selfish
    But I want a father so bad, I can't help but

    Break down, I break down
    Can't help but break down

    I never thought I'd see my mama on that shit, man
    It's fucking with her body, now she sick, damn
    I wanted a big house with a white picket fence and a pool
    Who would have ever thought that it would come to this, man?
    Quicksand is what this life feel like
    That shit these rappers kick is nothing like real life
    You made a milli off of servin' hard white? Yeah right
    My mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like
    Stupid niggas, I heard the cops be shooting niggas
    I swear to God, wish I could bullet proof my niggas
    Can't get no jobs, but they still recruiting niggas
    We tryna stand tall when it get too crucial niggas

    Break down! We break down

    He's serving time, locked down
    And she don't want nobody to know, his daughter 25 pounds
    By the time he get out, she gon' be 4
    Now will his girl stay down?
    Ain't no doubt she love him -- yeah that's for sure
    But temptation stays round
    And if she strayed, how could he ever know?
    And so, she goes to the club on the weekend
    A little freaking, but them niggas holla
    But she never speaking, but tonight I see the devil creeping
    Cause she been lonely, she ain't felt a man in 7 seasons
    Damn! She do the best that she can
    Her mama telling her to find another man
    She college educated with a felon boyfriend
    That's what she thinking tonight
    Maybe she's right, but please

    Stay down mama! Gotta be strong, don't break down mama!
    Please
