Didn't Give a Damn

Yeah, it's all good, I'm doing better without you

Anyway, but it's funny, we look just alikeEveryday that I look in the mirror

A reflection of someone, I don't remember

But I heard that he was something special

To someone that I hold so dear to meShe said he was a singer, oh, he could sing, yeahBut he used it to abuse a lot of women

Now your seed was a he and that seed is now me

And I love my son and my son loves me

And I know that its painful but I wish you could seeThat a man is what I am, tho' you didn't give a damn

When you left her on her own to raise me all alone

And it's hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya

So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways'Cause a man is what I am, tho' you didn't give a damn

When you left her on her own to raise me all alone

And it's hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya

So I'm praying everyday that God will change my waysWas never there for me

How could you betray me

Broke up the family tree

What about me, what about meNow I hear that you wanna see me

But I can't let it go not that easy

See a man only knows what he feels

And I feel that I can't trust youKeep it real, I don't need you

And I can't think that you would think

That I would ever be like you

Cause its sad that you're my dadAnd I don't know you

Even when I see you

And to my son

I could never leave youThat a man is what I am, tho' you didn't give a damn

When you left her on her own to raise me all alone

And it's hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya

So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways'Cause a man is what I am, tho' you didn't give a damn

When you left her on her own to raise me all alone

And it's hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya

So I'm praying everyday that God will change my waysYou was never there

Probably didn't care

Don't you had a son

While you on the runNever thought that twice

Of being in my life

'Cause you broke a happy home

Why you leaving us aloneNever gave a damn

To find out who I am

It's to late

For you to communicateYou was never there

Probably didn't care

That you had a son

While you on the runThat a man is what I am, tho' you didn't give a damn

When you left her on her own to raise me all alone

And it's hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya

So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways'Cause a man is what I am, tho' you didn't give a damn

When you left her on her own to raise me all alone

And it's hard for me to hate ya when she says that I'm just like ya

So I'm praying everyday that God will change my waysDon't make me, don't make me

Don't make me, turn out like him

Ohh, never gonna be like you

Never gonna walk, talk like you, no
