Yeah, growing up solo, no guidance, uh
Learned it all from the streets, yeah
Grew up in a house where the chair stayed empty
Mama worked doubles just to keep us fed plenty
Asked about my pops, she just looked away gently
Said he made his choice, left the wounds in me, heavy
Learned to tie my ties from YouTube at seventeen
Father-son talks? Man, I had to intervene
Brothers on the block became my only team
Raised by the concrete, living out my dream, skrrt
Life without a father, had to raise myself
Turned pain into power, put it on the shelf
No hand to guide me, I just played the cards I'm dealt
Life without a father, yeah, I know how it felt
Graduation day, empty seat in the crowd
Mama cried happy tears, I made her so proud
Wanted him to see me, but I'm good now
Built my own legacy, yeah, I figured it out, no cap
Every scar taught me lessons, made me tough
Every night alone showed me I'm enough
To every kid out there going through the rough
You gon' make it, keep pushing, don't give up, gang
Life without a father, had to raise myself
Turned pain into power, put it on the shelf
No hand to guide me, I just played the cards I'm dealt
Life without a father, yeah, I know how it felt
Yeah, we made it mama
No father, but we still champions, let's go
