Mr. Lif - The Now Lyrics
[Verse 1]Daddy's got a new life nowA new daughter and a new male childA new swagger wid some real styleNew car new house brand new spouseLittle shitty dog named Pouts wid smile on his mouthWe'll be straight up we're forgotten cause developed a planOnce the monkey takes some time to hang with his own famHap' and gay to let ya know he still cares and suchYa won't grow apart too much from bein' outta touchBut he wasn't there for him on the daily ghetto basisIn order to drop jewels I stay clear of the racistsHeavy promises became weightlessSincerity became faintlessHe's praying for a Santa A-listTime is passin' by yet his scars remain agelessHe called him on the phone to say pop'sThis'll take a minute of ya timeBut his wishes were divinedBy the disenchanted tone at the end of the line, hang upHe tried to look strong in front of mom back upJohn stop lookin' forward to the day you gonna see him onDry ya eye to eye and you'll receive an embraceFrom a lost heart that's pumpin' blood up to a guilty faceHe's gonna try to find ways to make up for the last twenty nine daysOr was it thirty, I think he heard meIn situations like this ya speech becomes wordyHe's got a hundred million ways to tell me not to worryBut this time I wasn't hangin' on his every sentenceEars crippled by the pain and negligence so was the tendenceHe spoke I couldn't hear a word I zoned into black I observedMy only thoughts were missin' out on love that I deservedTryin' to convince myself I'm weak within the mentalThe silence breaks because your father's guidance is essentialHe's lookin' down with a smile sayin' that the future will be greatI
