Lyrics
[So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
Fathers show ya sons how to be righteous ones
Show them the right way
Not the bars
Show him the right way
Not the scars
Show him the right way, the right way
Show them, show them]
I see fathers fuckin up everywhere
Not giving a fuck
Not givin a damn
Locked up in the slam
Or damn near close
And my father’s more fucked up than most
Yo, This world’s fucked up enough
Without kids growin up with fathers that are fucked up
Now if you’re poppin shells, poppin pills,
What’s your son gonna do?
He’s gonna wind up just like you
[So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
Fathers show ya sons how to be righteous ones
Show them the right way
Not the bars
Show him the right way
Not the scars
Show him the right way, the right way
Show them, show them]
This is your mother fuckin obligation
To see your faults, halt, and turn it around
Cause so many fathers end up in the ground
For unnecessary reasons
Leaving sons
But you were the creatin one
You can’t be the hating one
You gotta be the loving one
Cause you were the ready to put it in the oven one
And now that all I said and done
You better be the better one
[So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
Fathers show ya sons how to be righteous ones
Show them the right way
Not the bars
Show him the right way
Not the scars
Show him the right way, the right way
Show them, show them]
And with every one of your outbreaks
Your son will break out a little more without breaks out the norm
For God sakes
Put on ya breaks
Stop makin mistakes
At this pace ya gonna raise a high school dropout
And I don’t wanna hear another copout
Like excuses of how your father was bad
Cause you were the one to put your penis in that pussycat
And if you think an opportunity you never had
Well here’s your chance to be a Dad
[So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
So many fathers fuckin up
But a boy needs a male role model growin up
Fathers show ya sons how to be righteous ones
Show them the right way
Not the bars
Show him the right way
Not the scars
Show him the right way, the right way
Show them, show them]
