I swear to tell the truth and nothin but the truth...
So help me god
I just felt like tellin the story of my life
Felt likemaybe somebody could be inspiredyou know?
We all feel painwe all go through things
But it's time to overcome all that
Verse one: ll cool j
If your plane crashed in the water and everybody died
Would you drown on purpose or try to survive?
I was born handicapped my arm wouldn't move
They called me a cripple pops caught an attitude
Beat my moms smoked lye drove trucks
My moms had a miscarriagehe didn't give a fuck
He sniffed some cokecome home
Beat up on my moms cause she's talkin on the phone
Come on
Chorus: ll cool j and singers
(all I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
(all I ever needed)
All I ever needed
(was a father)
Was a father
(that's all)
That's all!
(all I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
(all I ever needed)
All I ever needed... was a father
(was a father)
Verse two: ll cool j
Moms got tired of the beatings said"yowe got to go"
Packed up her bags we bounced out the do'
She said"i ain't takin these whippin's no mo'
I wanna live to see my little todd grow"
I remember tear drops on my pops face
Lookin down at me standin on the staircase
Handsome brother with a smooth goatee
Makes me wonder why he act so uglyyou feelin me?
(I'm feelin you)
Chorus
Verse three: ll cool j
My pops got drunk when me and my moms bounced
Swigged some jack dan'sniffed up a ounce
Grabbed the shotty left long isle for queens
Possesed by a demon... a devil it seemed
I was too young to understand the risk
When your moms come home off the midnight shift
She turned around heard the shotgun click
My pops said"you think that you could leave me? "
He blasted my moms in the back
She fell down screamin I can't forget that
My grandfather tried to close the do'
He got shot ten times in the stomach yofor real
Chorus
Verse four: ll cool j
My head was spinninI had never seen blood
Four years oldthis don't feel like love
Anywaypops dissapeared
Grandpops and moms healed up over the years
This therapist got up in her head
Led her to believe without him she'd be dead
You knowthey fell in love with one another
Everything seemed right that's word to mother
Until I started gettin beatings everday
Sometimes for going outside to play
Late at night on my knees I'd pray
A young childwishin the pain would go away
Dad where was you when he made me strip
Beat with belts like a slave with a whip
Kicked me down steps outside in the snow
Punched me in the chest stomped me out on the flo'
That's just the tip of the iceberg look
It's too long for a song but perfect for a book
Word is bondthat's real baby
