I got my daddy's eyes

But you gave me your double vision,

I got my daddy's stride

Now I'm walking blind with double vision.

And I can almost see your face now, in me.

And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

You had to break the skin

To put the blood between us,

You did the dirty work

To put the blood between us.

And I can almost see your face now, in me.

And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

Oooh rocking the seed in me

learning to speak the mothertongue.

Sometimes between the lines

I crashed, I could've killed you

I tried to go too fast -

I crashed, I could've killed you.

And I can almost see your face now, in me

And I can almost feel the weight you carried.

Oooh rocking the seed in me

learning to speak the mothertongue.
