Dope Man Too Lyrics

1985 I arrived with the juice

Momma named me junior cause my daddy was the truth

Had to see that gradually his attitude was boof

Actually his battle was with needles and the boos

Hadn't seen examples of what he was supposed to do

And he wasn't planning to have baby number 2

Mad at leaving college on a scholarship to hoop

All that brought was drama that my momma would consume

Never getting used to all the physical abuse

Late nights always using saw him do it never knew what he was doing

But the proof

I used to hide it from him used throw it on the roof

Didn't want him dying from it that's best that I could do

Sold it but he smoked it when he rolled out with the crew

Wouldn't take it slow he didn't know that he should cruise

Mama Neta told him wish he would've listened to her

But he wasn't in control he didn't know what he was doing

Momma stayed true through the smoke and the fumes

His devotion to ruin left her open move

Didn't have a clue what she had to do but she was through

Knew she had to choose chose to go pursue something new

Glad we didn't lose

Sad to see a tragedy a truth

But naturally imagine how I grew to be confuse

Review another view

Cause daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

He was doing what a dope man do

Only moving how a dope man move

Had a plan that he hoped came through

Understanding it what most caint do

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

2013 told her we could make a move

Wasn't really ready but I didn't want to lose

Yeah my heart was heavy it was broken in to two

Knew I needed healing on my own and that was true

Still I put my head in to your arms and it was cool

Steadily we fell into a love we never knew

Telling me that you didn't care about what I pursue

Even when the only checks deposited was you

Feeling disrespected every time the rent due

Still you whip it in the kitchen go and get the menu

Friends and family got opinions and reprimand you

They didn't see the vision couldn't get a better view

Telling you exactly what I'm feeling in the booth

I done been attacked for representing what is true

I know that my action is the only way to prove

Matter fact let's take back to when we wasn't cool

We was on the phone something I don't like to do

But being on the road it's something that I'm used to

I put that on my soul I wanted you to be in tune

With knowledge I consume I need you to make the rules

Take a new direction but together we would choose

Based on the reflection from the heavens I include

Never would I step on any method that we use

When you started questioning me felt like you refused

Thought I was infected by a negative bafoon

Devilish because our parenting was getting hella views

Apparently the man you married to was really letting loose

Embarrassing to reach a level that was deeper than a root

People was confused when they saw you with a bruised

Wouldn't talk to me they just wanted me to be abused

I was locked up and facing 4 years minimal

Called pops cause I knew daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

He was doing what a dope man do

Only moving how a dope man move

Had a plan that he hoped came through

Understanding it what most caint do

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too

He was doing what a dope man do

Only moving how a dope man move

Had a plan that he hoped came through

Understanding it what most caint do

Daddy was a dope man too

Daddy was a dope man too
