Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Colder days have me dreaming 'bout the olden days
Slouching in my lounger, but my mama'd have me sitting straight
Tryna beat my little brother in the Tekken stage
Try my best to be a father figure, 'cause of '98
Wasn't great, juvenile-veteran
Battling with my mother, I couldn't see that the weather brings
Strength much as it brings pain
How you gonna grow when you can't stand rain?
[Verse 2]
Time waits for no man
Least, it didn't for my old man
Getting teased, riding round the streets with my bike gang
Only kid, too afraid to ride around no hands
Makeshift muffler in my mudflap, Coke can
Daddy wasn't present all because of his depression
Try my best to ride alone
I guess I never got the lessons
Left me always second guessing
[Chorus]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Refrain]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Refrain]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Verse 3]
I get embarrassed when they asked me
Where I got all my old man clothes
Well, off the old man, they don't need to know that, though
They might ask me how it happened
I start up that nervous laugh
I just tell 'em, "It's all right" and hope I hold that note, like
Single parent household privilege
Could treat a woman right but, man, I never learned to fight for shit
Razor bumps riddling my face, I need some ice for this
Tough time tryna' be a man
I'm just a little kid
Dangling my feet off the pews
Asking ma' if what they're saying is true
See, I don't think that people visit Satan over mistake making
Surely we're all forsaken if the saying is true
'Cause what's that say about you?
What's that say about you?
[Verse 4]
Nah, fuck religion and feeling, I need forgiveness
You got me burdened with guilt, over sins I haven't committed
Because crosses bear, some scores left to settle
Glad, I'm on another level
Tryna' tell me that my daddy's with the Devil
That's rich
You know, I think we endured enough suffering
Without the thoughts of my father left buffering
[Chorus]
So, check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Refrain]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Refrain]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Refrain]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now I'm doing it
[Refrain]
Check me out, Da'
'Cause I'm doing it
No hands, you proud of me?
I hope you're tuning in
I made a promise to my mother, now, I'm doing it
[Outro]
Now, I'm doing it
Now, I'm doing it
I made a promise to my mother, now, I'm doing it
