Father Time (feat. Sampha)

You really need some therapy Real nigga need no therapy, fuck you talking about? Nah, nah, you sound stupid as fuck Shit, everybody stupid Yeah, well, you need to talk to someone Reach out to Eckhart I come from a generation of home invasions And I got daddy issues, that's on me Everything them four walls had taught me, made habits bury deep That man knew a lot, but not enough to keep me past them streets My life is a plot, twisted from directions that I can't see Daddy issues ball across my head, told me, "Fuck a foul" I'm teary-eyed, wanna throw my hands, I won't think out loud A foolish pride, if I lose again, won't go in the house I stayed outside, laughing with my friends, they don't know my life Daddy issues made me learn losses, I don't take those well Momma said, "That boy is exhausted", he said, "Go fuck yourself If he give up now, that's gon' cost him, life's a bitch You could be a bitch or step out the margin", I got up quick I'm chargin' baskets and falling backwards, tryna keep balance Oh, this the part where mental stability meets talent Oh, this the part, he breaks my humility just for practice Tactics we learned together, sore losers forever, daddy issues Early morning wake-ups, practicing on day offs Tough love, bottled up, no chaser Neat no chaser, neat no chaser Neat no chaser, neat no chaser Early morning wake-ups, practicing on day offs Tough love, bottled up, no chaser Neat no chaser, neat no chaser Neat no chaser, neat no chaser I got daddy issues, that's on me Looking for, "I love you," rarely empathizing for my relief A child that grew accustomed, jumping up when I scraped my knee 'Cause if I cried about it, he'd surely tell me to not be weak Daddy issues, hear my emotions, never express myself Men should never show feelings, being sensitive never helped His mama died, I asked him why he goin' back to work so soon His first reply was, "Son, that's life, the bills got no silver spoon" Daddy issues, fuck everybody, go get your money, son Protect yourself, trust nobody, only your momma'nem This made relationships seem cloudy, never attached to none So if you took some likings around me, I might reject the love Daddy issues kept me competitive, that's a fact, nigga I don't give a fuck what's the narrative, I am that nigga When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused Guess I'm not mature as I think, got some healing to do Egotistic, zero-given fucks and to be specific Need assistance with the way I was brought up What's the difference when your heart is made of stone And your mind is made of gold and your tongue is made of sword But it may weaken your soul? My niggas ain't got no daddy, grow up overcompensating Learn shit 'bout being a man and disguise it as being gangsta I love my father for telling me to take off the gloves 'Cause everything he didn't want was everything I was And to my partners that figured it out without a father I salute you, may your blessings be neutral to your toddlers It's crucial, they can't stop us if we see the mistakes 'Til then, let's give the women a break, grown men with daddy issues Early morning wake-ups, practicing on day offs Tough love, bottled up, no chaser Neat no chaser, neat no chaser Neat no chaser, neat no chaser
