Father Figure Video (MV)

I know its gotta be more out there...
Somebody out there... Andybody out there...
Help...
Well I grew up without knowing how I can tie a tie
Birthdays empty promises and full of lies
When I hit puberty I swore that i was gonna die
Singing was the only thing I knew to do my whole life
Momma's there but she so busy
4 kids, no spouse, gotta keep the lights on, no sympathy
In a uncle's house naked bodies on the tv screen
Grown thoughts in a little me
Fast forward past the bad part
Uncle Sam bounce my head off the asphalt
Big sis might as well had a passport
She got shipped away from the Fam as a last resort
The last report is me About 14
Black boy Statically in a court scene
And of course things should've been downhill from here
Been now I'm saved I really coulda been anywhere

And lord knows
We all needed father figures
Lord knows
No worries the father with ya
He'll be right there at the right time
Life will put you in the right mind
We came we saw we conquered and I'm sure that We're right where the father figured

Yeah it was kinda nice
Momentarily living out in the Cali life
Me and Cagjie were crazy and bold enough to find a better plan
Find a nice spot to take flight
We were kicking it hard with real superstars
Mansion in the Hamptons pulling up in the nice cars
Still getting mad...
If you ain't make it in that city then you end up getting stuck singing by the trash
Pimping your talent on the street just to try to eat
Always working on the pier never hit the beach
Wish I had somebody ear to try to make peace
Wish I had mans helping build real pieces
And then along came uncle Johnny
He said no matter where you going you can be somebody
Just gotta plan don't be listening to everybody
And that day it really could've been anybody

And lord know
We all needed father figures
Lord knows
No worry the father with ya
He'll be right there at the right time
Life will put you in the right mind
We came we saw and we conquered and I'm sure that We're right where the father figured

Lord knows
I been unprotected way too many times to be this healthy
Lord knows
I been living life so selfishly I shouldn't be this happy
Lord know
Only grace and mercy, love and peace
And hate is not inside his genes and I can never pay the fee of what's he's done for me except to let him be my Father figure
