Verse:

It was the 3rd of september

That day i´ll always remember yes i will

Cause that was the day

That my daddy died

I never got a chance to see him

Never heard nothing but

Bad things about him

Mama i'm depending on you

To tell me the truth

(mama just hung her head and said son)

Refrain:

Papa was a rolling stone wherever he laid

His hat was his home

And when he died all he left us was alone

Rap:hey mama is it true what they say

Papa never worked a day in his life

Bad talk going round town saying

Three other kids and another man's wife

Heard some talk about

Store-front preaching

Saving souls and

All the time him leeching

Dealing in debt

And stealing in the name of the lord

I heard papa called a jack of all trades

Is that what sent papa to an early grave

Folks say

Papa would beg, borrow

And steal to pay his bills

Hey mama

Folks say papa never was thinking

Chasing women and all the time drinking

Mama i´m depending on you

To tell me the truth

Refrain
