Mystic - Fatherless Child Lyrics
Feels better if I tell em my storyYo, on November 24th, 1999I was in L.A., and I was in the kitchen cookinAnd I got this page rightAnd uh, I called back and I was informed thatMy father had passed away from a herion overdoseAbout two hour's earlierSo this song is for him, and to himAnd for all the fatherless children in the worldThe mother's who raised us, the people who love us[Verse 1]It's a Monday, finally found the perfect beatTo speak my peace on how I came to beThe way I was raised, how I was bornWhy I smile so sad, and have the eyes of a stormMoms from Virginia, you from Rhode IslandMet up in the state where the sun's always smilinMinds connected, physicals exchangedY'all both believin that the world can be changedTime passed to 1973, and you begged my mom to create meFirst she said no but she loved you too much1974 had a child to touchWe was into other things, that ripped life scenesLiqour, drugs, other women, destroyin dreamsBut you know how women be, she tried to hold onFor the sake of your love and the beautiful bond[Chorus]I'ma fatherless child, it's all I ever beenIt's all I ever be, since your gone from meStill I hope you know, that I can never unlove you, love you[Verse 2]1974 was a year things changedToo much alcholol makes people violent and strangeYou broke the window's with a baseball batAs my mother cried inside with me on her lapThe dream destroyed, it was time to leaveShe didn't take much, just a few things of lovin meThat was the birth of this fatherless childAnd a struggling mother with the world in her eyesShe did it though, put herself in collegeRais
