Before I learned to swim I was paddling Before I learned to pattern I was patterning Before I was whizzing it I was on the bike and I was saddling My Uncle got cancer and he’s battling And I can’t help battle it It’s not like the streets were I put my hand on the handle then handle it Shit’s saddening It’s like bare shit’s happening It’s crazy and it’s damaging And it’s crazy how we’re managing I’ll tell you what’s happening I’m getting high in the Hampton Inn The pressure’s high but I’m handling We had [?] now it’s dampening
Grateful for the progress Used to run down the bus on some joke ting I love my Mum yeah she a real one The realest woman in the building Yeah she’s more than a Mum to me So I thank you for everything you’ve done for me You held me tight through the jungle And when the feds came you didn’t crumble And even though you’re a single Mum You’re my Dad, you’re my friend, you’re my Uncle I remember as a young bull You’d always pick me up when I stumbled And you taught me to be patient And you taught me to be brave and be humble It was cold and it was raining It wasn’t work, you were slaving Them twelve hour day shifts And you put all the money into savings A single Mum living shameless While your Son’s living brainless You bailed me out of them stations That’s why I love you and you’ve got all my ratings I love you
I don’t hate my Dad but I don’t like him Cause I ain’t nothing like him How’d you leave your son? I was frightened He ain’t a man, you’re a python My Son’s like my sun and my lightning He’s the reason I try more He’s my reason to live and to die for He’s the reason I try to abide law Me and Mum through them winters But we’re blessed with good health and we’re easy I love my half bro and sisters They know I’ve got them and I’m there when they need me You just grew old but you’re still dumb How you not there for your children? Your ex-wife, she a real one The realest woman in the building
