Blue October - Any Man In America Lyrics
I only note spending time awayI only note the truth is spokenBest when brutally so honestly.I' ll let you know you setThe standards lyrically for meOne single middle fingerSay raise it upMy speech will always be freeLike Martin Luther KingYou had meaning to meSingle handedly saving music starving industryA hip hop legend was skinned like invisible inkLike even though he was whiter than meHe was the first to be colorlessSpeaking for all of usThen you let us into your familyMother father brother sister wife daughterDamn right in front of meThat 's when I miss my daughter desperatelyYour mocking bird puts dents in meWhile touring press and reliving my song hate meI was losing custodyI never even saw that shit.How she played meAnd planned and sought it fitTo turn that trick and financially she would benefitMy first and probably only billboard hitWas gonna pay for my two year old 's collegeI should have hid that shitSo she couldn 't spend that shitIt took twenty years of workingJust to earn that shitNow word for word I've listened, Heard and I'm done.Done.[Chorus]Like you don 't know.You act like you believe it.That you're in control.It's just your legal system thoughThey don 't think about youNo they don't care about you.Now every man in America take back your controlLike you don 't know.You act like you believe it.That you're in control.It's just your legal system thoughThey don 't think about itNo, they don't care about itNow every man in America take back your control.I kept my business quietJust like my lawyer said.And I tried to focus onMy anger and work instead.I was succeeding at self reliantBut inside my soul am dead.I had to be the sole providerBut not allowed to be the dad.Literally they took her from me.Legally they did! They did! But I'm not a *****ing bookSo ***** your book and leaking I said***** the judge. ***** that county***** your family too.Yeah ***** everybody that took my baby girl, BlueI'm way too strongI work my ass off all day long.And I'm gone for months at a timeAnd you keep sitting there in line*****ing "Come back home"I hate you, hate you god.And then you came back homeAnd filed for another *****ing divorce.I'm sick of her I'm sick of youI'm not sick, I'm lost up in my head.Any other man in American can get screwed just like me.[Chorus]You won't understand, probably never will.Listen slowly I 'll let you know the dealLying ass play the judge with your crying assYou had your nose wide open when you saw the cash.Grimy ***** growing tired of you trying shit.Women run the courts, men provide the chips.Well eat up ***** until you had enough *****.But take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts *****.Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road.But you the one *****ing like a groupie at a show.Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me.You a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country.Bring the drama to you mamma and you mammas mammaCause we all know you chasing half the karma.Couple checks few houses and Gucci blousesYou changing dicks like you changing outfits.Constitution now a day's got the daddies losing.Lot of fathers getting *****ed by the constitution.[Chorus 3x ]
