He Say She Say (feat. Gemini & Sarah Green)

I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave

I don't know what you want

You want, want from me

She said to him, I want you to be a father

He's your little boy, and you don't even bother

Like brother without the R, and he's starting to harbor

Cool on food for thought, but for you he's a starver

Starting to use red markers on his work

His teacher said they know he's much smarter, but he's hurt

Used to hand his homework in first

Like he was the classroom starter

Burst to tears, let 'em know she see us

Now he's fighting in class

Got a note last week that say he might not pass

Asked me if his daddy was sick of us

'Cause you ain't never pick him up

You see what his problem is

He don't know where his papa is

No positive male role model

To play football or build railroad models

He's making a hole, you've been digging it

'Cause you ain't been kicking it

Since he was old enough to hold bottles

Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that

He don't deserve to get used to that

Now I ain't asking you for money

Or to come back to me

Some days it ain't sunny, but it ain't so hard

Just breaks my heart when I try to provide

And he say, mommy, that ain't your job

To be a man, I try to make him understand

That I'm his number one fan

But it's like you booing from the stands

You know the world is out to get him

So why don't you give him a chance?

It's like, I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave

Now, now, I don't know what you want

You want, want from me

So he said to him, I want you to be a father

I'm your little boy, and you don't even bother

Like brother without the R and I'm starting to harbor

Cool on food for thought, but for you I'm a starver

Starting to use red markers on my work

My teacher say they know I'm much smarter, but I'm hurt

I used to hand my homework in first

Like I was the classroom starter

Burst to tears, let 'em know he see us

Now I'm fighting in class

Got a note last week that say I might not pass

Kids ask me if my daddy is sick of us

'Cause you ain't never pick me up

You see what my problem is

That I don't know where my papa is

No positive male role model

To play football or build railroad models

It's making a hole, and you've been digging it

'Cause you ain't been kicking it

Since I was old enough to hold bottles

Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that

I don't deserve to get used to that

Now, I ain't asking you for money

Or to come back to me

Some days it ain't sunny, but it ain't so hard

Just breaks my heart when my mama try to provide

And I tell her, that ain't your job

To be a man, she try to make me understand

That she my number one fan

But it's like you booing from the stands

You know the world is out to get me

Why don't you give me a chance?

It's like, I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave

Now, now, I don't know what you want

You want, want from me (What you want from me, oh)

I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave

I don't know what you want

You want, want from me

I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't, what you want from me, oh

What you want from me, oh
