Role Reversal

Talk to em

Only my true motherfucker know

Realest shit I ever wrote it's, it's

Check this

I be at the mall

walk up at in the store

glance up at the wall

pick out a few kicks

i need eleven in these

mater a fact while you at it

bring them in a size six

i take shorty shoes off

like here try on these Jay's make shore them shit fit

but in my head it gets thick

saying Joey fall back

cause thats not your kid

I don't know you lil nigga

and plus I got a son of my own

but he's at home and the way he's being raised

i don't really condone (nah)

cause his pops been gone

fuck it ill explain it to him later when he grown

enough to have a phone ask him why mommy hit me and he gotta sneak to call me whenever he's alone

so you wouldn't know it but i got a soft spot for you

she would share them same obstacles

looking from the outside may seem like you neglecting but when he slips up and call me dad

I correct him

I protect him when baby girl start

venting about you I say respect him

and though it seems out of order

my own mistakes has turn me into your biggest supporter

fast forward you wouldn't believe

how I could love like mine what I didn't conceive

try to help him be shit that I never achieve

am I doing it for him or is it my own grieve to see

me and my baby moms we don't do the conversations

shame cramp in the back two bed room shack

with seven people living there just congregating

some when you child with me i'm over compensating

I'm talking eight bedrooms seven baths

my son thinking that's the shit that only heaven have

mines got a deeper pool yours get to see the view

white marble around the inger mines got gold and white

yours just got to walk outside and the funny shit

the irony of it all and its sad

cause you walk away

yea i'm the step dad

and then you get on skype

saying how you being whats the word

and I be in the back ground listening like this mother fucker here got some nerve

he says bye daddy I love you

I be wanting to snuff you but I wouldn't have him thinking less of you

but he's accepted and the shit is wild

he picks up on ever think and he's just a child

but through all my resistance

i'm afraid this two year old could already see the difference

he see you don't provide when your capable

why we never fix things while we are still able to

so your annoyed kinda hampers me give my void

I always wanted a family

just to greet when I get through the door

you gone to have to take the "L" I can't give you yours

i'll do all of da work

you ain't gotta be bothered

you could be a dad

I'll be his father

I relate though

so I know it hurts

gotta be uncomfortable

when the role reverse

I been in your shoes my whole life nigga

try these on I relate though so I know it hurts

gotta be uncomfortable when the role reverse
