Black Fathers Matter Lyrics

Uh!

Black and active

Uh!

It ain't easy being a black father

Carry the family on yo back

But that weight could cause back problems

The provider, the fact solver

Making sure you fed and a place L.A. yo head like hat Dodgers

How many families got fathers missing, we made this shit tradition

Cause we was scared to step up to position

I always wondered why do men run?

Where does it steer from?

Where do we get this sense of fear from?

Child support got our pockets hostage

But if we providing, I really feel this shit is out of pocket

Support determined by a man's wallet

But I'll be there for my children

No matter what and I'm just being honest

Cause that's how I was raised

A man's presence is needed

I mean that shit undefeated, I just had to say

How could we run away from something we created

These are unanswered questions we should argue and debate it

I'm a, black active father here to spark the conversation

Cause, as the children grow they gone want an explanation

Like, where the fuck my daddy, somebody bring my daddy back

It's time to man up fellas cause real men ain't having that!

But if we're honest with ourselves we'll admit

(Uh!) that, too many fathers are also missing (Yeah!)

It's time to man up fellas cause real men ain't having that!

Too many fathers are M.I.A

Too many fathers are awol, missing from too many lives and too many homes

They've abandoned their responsibilities

They're acting like boys instead of men!
