Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone.
August 6th, 1981 I took my first breath
They said I smiled and cried until it was none left
I guess I knew what I was in for before hand
Miniature grown man ha. Third of three sons
Big bird and squirt guns
Aunt Tammy dressed up as a clown when I turned one
Scared the s*** out of me but thanks for trying
Sitting in my highchair throwing cake and crying
I remember everything, every single detail
Clinging on daddy's leg like don't leave I'll be good. I promise
I'll do anything honest
But he had to go to work and bust his a** for those dollars
Now it all makes sense, back then I wasn't havin it
Obsessed with [heatin' it?] so young and so admit
Walking [Sir Castle] grade school and baseball
And I learned that if I worked a little that I could have it all
All of my friend's had allowances, I had a paper route
And when no one was looking I threw the papers out
I got caught, made dad furious
And if your gonna do something do it right
That's what earnest is
Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Papa was a rolling stone, working hard while I was home alone
This is some Macaulay c**kin s*** so bit
Little man had a plan and had to follow through with it
But moms was so inconsiderate, illiterate?
Nope. I read the dictionary daily
Give the gap the rap and set sailing
Step moms get the p*** end of the stick nothing new to me
Don't act like my momma because my dad bought you jewelery
Oh and time [coolery?] I sat back
And watched pops play with women like chess, check mate
Six siblings, three different moms
Can you imagine seeing your paycheck get broken down into fractions
Papa was a pimp, married four time, indecisive, trynna strike a gold mine
Sittin' in the truth of sand, something like a forty nine
Up to the point where my chest becomes a cold mine
But when they come and go, I'll be here at the bitter end
Just letting you know, I never understood temptation
I guess we both got a little David Rufus in us
Everybody sing it with us now
Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone.
