Big Mike - Daddy's Gone Lyrics

Send "Daddy's Gone" ringtone to your cell

Push push push push

Push push here it comes

It's it's a girl

1971 a young girl gave birth

Only a child bringin' another child on this earth

Only 15 years of age

But comin' from the ghetto it won't make the front page

See that's the way shit go

And to the government she ain't nothin' but another hoe

Thinkin' all she want is food stamps

Give her a check and let her hang with the school tramps

And mama's gettin' mad

'Cause now she gotta watch her little girl grow up fast

Straight ghetto life straight ghetto drama

Wanted a baby doll now she's somebody's mama

And life is so confusin' to her

Askin' herself why is this happenin' to her

So now she gotta choose

Between a box of Pampers and a pair of new tennis shoes

Never had to make that choice before

Never heard a baby's voice before

And the daddy ain't nowhere to be found

Too busy bein' a hoe around town

He just fall into another statistic

Claimin' black men don't do shit

But that's the way it is

And little do they know daddy also sheds tears

'Cause he don't know what to do

Be a father to his child or run with a crew

You might say easy choice be a father

But why should he do it when his father didn't bother?

Just another sample I guess

Of black men settin' bad examples

Thinkin' deep about the whole thing

Takes his last bit of money and goes to buy a gold ring

And asks her to marry her

Promise to get a job so he can carry her

Thinkin' that's the way to do it

But little do they know that there's much more to it

'Cause marriage is demandin'

It takes lots of patience and understandin'

But they go and tie the knot anyway

And they'll be gettin' their own crib any day

The first couple of months were alright

A new crib adaptin' to a new life

But then came the arguments

And the constant fightin' got 'em thrown out their apartment

So now they gotta move in with her momma

And that just adds to the muthafuckin' problems

'Cause now he's feelin' like he failed

And while they asleep he grabs his shit and bails

Smooth out the do' black

And never takes another look back

Now grandma's house is an unhappy home

Now that daddy's gone daddy's gone yeah

Daddy broke before I stepped in this muthafucka

And left the job to be done by my mother's mother

Raised up by my grandmother's son

'Cause my mark-ass daddy never came around for guidance

So now I'm forced to stand up on my own two

'Cause mommy dear had to work three jobs duke

He didn't even want my friendship

I guess the mark-ass nigga wasn't down to begin with

Too late to come around with his drunk ass

And beatin' up my mom with his punk ass

And shit got dread

I guess I shouldn't talk so bad about my dad

So here it is brothers

If you gon' have babies you need to father them muthafuckas

'Cause if you don't in due time

Your kids'll speak about daddy exactly like I do mine

So do yourself a favor

Take your kids to the park buy 'em shit and they'll pay you later

But paying's not the issue

If you'd die right now your little kids wouldn't even miss you

So put away your caddy

Call your bitch up and tell her to make room for daddy

'Cause if you don't you'll be alone

And the only thing they'll say about daddy is daddy is gone

Daddy's gone yeah
