Oh!
Ooh
Hey
I seen you hold her, baby, pick her up from school
He called you daddy and you smiled like a fool
Took pictures at the park like you been there from the start
But when your own child call, you don't even play a part
You busy buying shoes for feet that ain't your blood
But your son outgrew his clothes, and you ain't send nothin' in months
You play daddy in her house, but ghost in my mind
Smile for their pictures while yours don't shine
How you tuck them in, but forgot your own name
When your baby asks where you at
What am I supposed to say?
He ain't a stranger, but he act like one
How you love somebody else's child and run from your own son?
You showed up to their birthdays with balloons and cakes
But missed your daughter's first steps like it was just another day
She drew a picture of you with a heart and a crown
Said, "I love my daddy, but you ain't been around"
You post up with the kids, talking family over all
But you missed the school play, and in return, no calls
You play daddy in her house, but ghost in my mind
Act like being present, don't cross your mind
You bought them bikes, but ignored his tears
He just wanted time that ain't cost no gear
He ain't a stranger, but he act like one
If loving ain't equal, then what have you done?
A child don't know excuses, they only know love
They don't understand why you pick and choose us
It ain't about the money
It's about being near
'Cause every time you're not, they wonder why you ain't here
So play your part wherever you may roam
But don't forget the babies that share your blood and bones
'Cause one day they'll stop asking
One day they'll stop calling
And the silence you gave them will be the silence that haunts you
Oh-oh, oh
Oh
Oh-mm
Ooh
Hey
I seen you hold her, baby, pick her up from school
He called you daddy and you smiled like a fool
Took pictures at the park like you been there from the start
But when your own child call, you don't even play a part
You busy buying shoes for feet that ain't your blood
But your son outgrew his clothes, and you ain't send nothin' in months
You play daddy in her house, but ghost in my mind
Smile for their pictures while yours don't shine
How you tuck them in, but forgot your own name
When your baby asks where you at
What am I supposed to say?
He ain't a stranger, but he act like one
How you love somebody else's child and run from your own son?
You showed up to their birthdays with balloons and cakes
But missed your daughter's first steps like it was just another day
She drew a picture of you with a heart and a crown
Said, "I love my daddy, but you ain't been around"
You post up with the kids, talking family over all
But you missed the school play, and in return, no calls
You play daddy in her house, but ghost in my mind
Act like being present, don't cross your mind
You bought them bikes, but ignored his tears
He just wanted time that ain't cost no gear
He ain't a stranger, but he act like one
If loving ain't equal, then what have you done?
A child don't know excuses, they only know love
They don't understand why you pick and choose us
It ain't about the money
It's about being near
'Cause every time you're not, they wonder why you ain't here
So play your part wherever you may roam
But don't forget the babies that share your blood and bones
'Cause one day they'll stop asking
One day they'll stop calling
And the silence you gave them will be the silence that haunts you
Oh-oh, oh
Oh
Oh-mm
