Song Lyrics

(feat. Marsha Ambrosius)

[Chorus:]
I've got some things to say, Oh
Please don't go
So don't you turn away, Oh
Please don't go
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so

[Verse 1:]
My daddy left me, and he ain't even die
So when he did go, I ain't even cry
I had reason, but that ain't even why
How could he have failed if he ain't even try
I ask no questions, I ain't even pry
Truthfully I wanted to I can't even lye
Like a canceled flight, that ain't even fly
To just walk away, like you ain't even my
Like, like, like I ain't even your
I can't even say it, I ain't even sure
He shouda gave me everything and left me even more
But he left me without saying what he was leavin for
And that's when I became a man
And that's the day he stopped bein one
This year I became a father
And imma die bein one, wassup son

[Chorus:]
I've got some things to say, Oh
Please don't go
So don't you turn away, Oh
Please don't go
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so

[Verse 2:]
I have nightmares of me not bein round
He took his first steps and daddy couldnt be in town
Daddy's entertaining everybody
But missed out when it came to trainin for the potty
I give a f*ck about hip-hops new beef
I was more excited when my son grew teeth
So I same the problem
Of the famous stardom
Just like Em and Haily
Just like Game and Harlem
Weezy's at the awards with Miss. Carter
Nah not his date, I'm talkin bout his daughter
Now that's stuntin like your daddy
'cause its crazy when you wanna be nuthin like your daddy
And if you never been a man
That's the day you start bein one
This year I became a father
And imma die bein one, wussup son

[Chorus:]
I've got some things to say, Oh
Please don't go
So don't you turn away, Oh
Please don't go
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so

[Marsha Ambrosius:]
So hear the truth remain to let me go
I won't hold that against you, I moved on
Just look what I become since you been gone
Now don't you turn away, Oh, please don't go
Here's what I got to say, Oh
Please don't go
Oh why'd you go away, Oh
Please don't go
I needed you here to stay, Oh
Please don't go
I can't believe this day, Oh
Please don't go

[Chorus:]
I've got some things to say, Oh
Please don't go
So don't you turn away, Oh
Please don't go
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so

[Outro:]
Why did you leave me
Tell me why you don't care
Daddy tell me why did you leave me
Why you don't care
Tell me why did you leave me
Daddy tell me why you weren't there
Why did you leave me
