Jontavian Barber - Life Without a Father Lyrics

We all go through things to help us elevate
And mold into a better person
But
Some situations are put on you so that
You'll have the experience and you can grow
My Mama raised me like my mama and my daddy you feel me
Its all going good til one nigga f*ck up your vision
Yea that shit Kinda hurt
Cuz my daddy was sitting in prison
Never Mattered anyway in my life he's always been missing
I never let his decisions rub off on how I'm living
Get up and chase that paper
It ain't gone chase you
Niggas get mad when you doing Something they can't do
Grind hard cuz somebody can replace you
And boy you ain't gone make it
If you let that hate break you
Look
No daddy but I Gotta make my mama proud
May 25, 2017 had her screaming loud
I was her baby on that stage
In that cap and gown
F*ck a hater got my whole family clapping now
Look
Smile through the pain don't let that shit ruin your day
Through the good times and the bad times
Make sure you always pray
I say
Dear heavenly father please protect where I lay
Build a bond with your family and that love its gone stay
My Whole life they called me all type of faggots
He playing with a Barbie doll where the f*ck is his daddy
Nigga get some money I demand my respect
Judging me a little Child no sin is better than the next
When you voice your opinion society gets offended
Whoop they ass it's a problem
And you the one apprehended
Everybody doing they talking I don't see nobody giving
Stay the f*ck up out my life cuz I'm the one that gotta a live it
Look
Mama I love you
And you I barely see
That's the chance I had to take for moving out before eighteen
Never came to my events but showed up to my graduation
Put a smile on my face and told me that the key is patience
I sat up on that stage butterflies led the tears
Ungrateful as a child
Cuz you didn't have much to give
After all the hardships
Yea we had somewhere to live and I promise
That when I make it You aint gone have no more bills
God blessed me with supporters
Gotta portray this image
I'mma always be myself
Don't give no f*cks bout how they feeling
Growing up
Really didn't have that father figure
Its okay that's why they judging me
Telling me I got issues
He was always in jail when he was out yea he tried
I'm sitting here hurt as hell about three years ago he died
I laid up in that bed damn write nigga I cried
Love ones leaving Fast so give your family that time
Nigga I'm not perfect I stumble sometimes too
I'mma keep applying that pressure whenever I'm in the booth
And they don't gotta accept me but I'm hard so it's whatever
Life might be going bad but that shit gone get better
