Role Reversal

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 11's in these, matter of fact

While you at it bring em' in a size 6

I take shorty's shoes off

Like here try on these J's make sure them shits fit

But in my head it gets thick saying

Joey fall back 'cause that's 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

Naw, 'cause his pops been gone

Fuck it, Ill explain it to him later when he's grown

Old enough to have a phone

Asking why mommy hates me and he got to sleep

To call me when ever he's alone so

You wouldn't know it but I got a sore spot for you

See, we would shared the same obstacles

Looking from the outside may seem like you neglect him

But when he slips up and calls 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 have turned me

Into your biggest supporter

Fast forward, you wouldn't believe

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

Trying to help him reach shit that I never achieved

Am I doing it for him or is it my own greed

'Cause see me and my baby moms

We don't do the conversations

Some cramped in the back, 2 bedroom shack

With 7 people living there just congregating

So when your child's with me, I'm over compensated

I'm talking 8 bedrooms 7 baths

My son thinking, that's the shit that only heaven has

Mines gotta keep it cool, yours get to see the view

White marble around the end ground, heated pool

Mines got to go through the why

Shit, yours just got to walk outside

And the funny shit, the irony of it all and it's just sad

Is you walked away and I'm the step dad

And then you get on Skype

Saying, "How you being, what's the word?"

And I be on the background listening like

"This muhfucka here got some nerve"

He says, "Bye daddy, I love you"

I be wanting to snuff you

But wouldn't have him thinking less of you

But he's perceptive and this shits wild

He picks up on everything and he's just a child

So through all my resistance

I'm afraid this 2 year old can already see the difference

He sees you don't provide when you're capable

Why we never fix things while we're still able too?

So you're annoyed, it kinda of hampers me

Get my void, I always wanted a family

Just to greet when I get to the door

You gon' have to take the L, I can't give you yours

I'll do all the work, you ain't gotta be bothered

You can be his dad, I'll be his father

I relate though, so I know it hurts

Got to be uncomfortable when the role reversed

I've been in your shoes my whole life nigga

Try these on, I relate though, I know it hurts

Got to be uncomfortable when the role reversed

Yeah man, I been there

You can't feel good

I wanna see how I feel?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
