Man of the House Lyrics

A fatherless child

I felt like we were just starting to know each other man

They can take all this shit, all of it

It don't mean nothing, I just wanna see

You one more time

My heart is on the line

Everybody making plans for tomorrow

Not even knowing if tomorrow gon' come

So numb, a nigga so numb

Cause I done lost over 30 friends to the slums

Switches on the blick with the drums

That's a hundred shots, here they come

Y'all love to blame it on the shorties being young

But it's a product of the neighborhood they from

Born to be a rider

Might as well call him a war survivor

Fifteen, he gotta be a provider

Cause his mama need help

And daddy ain't shit

Three younger brothers but he treat them like his kids

Man of the house, man this type of shit exists

A boy without his dad, man what type of shit is this

It's the type of shit that make me stop and reminisce, like

Dear pops

Sitting by the phone

Waiting for your call right now

Turns out you was gone

I just need to be alone right now

We take so much for granted

Things never go as planned

What's the protocol when you falling

But no one's there to hold your hand

These days, I stay away

Cause when you get close, that's when they fade away

Time loves no one

And life ain't no fun when you come from the slums

The horns blow

Heaven couldn't wait for you

You gone but I pray for you

I just hope your soul at peace

Same shit, different day

I was raised in a slumhaus

Re-up till we run out

Walk around with your gun out

If you scared don't come out

Stayed down so we up now

Welcome to the slumhaus

Welcome to the slumhaus

Welcome to the slumhaus

Welcome to the slumhaus

Home of the chrome

One day you're here, next day you're gone

It don't mean nothing I just wanna see

You one more time

My heart is on the line

You was gone for a minute

Then you stepped back in my life

Now you're gone forever

Never thought I'd lose you twice

We was just gettin' back close

You tried to make it right

Because when I needed you the most

You was nowhere in sight

It's bittersweet, it's killin' me

I did not think I would be brokenhearted like this

I thought you hurt me too bad but my heart is too big

Closure

I took care of everything for you

Wish we could've put you in the soil

Next to your mother but couldn't afford it

I know you wanted to be buried next to grandma

And I really wish I could've made that happen for you man but

You made it hard for us

I just wish you would've had your business in order man

Life insurance is important

R.I.P. though

It don't mean nothing I just wanna see

You one more time

My heart is on the line
