[Intro: K'naan] Think of {*4X*} Think about it man I mean n***as do a lot of stupid sh** but uhh This has gotta be one of the stupidest, y'know? Real talk, man listen [K'naan] Uhh, yeah, uhh, yeah I ain't make music to get filthy rich I wrote rhymes cause I got sh** to fix Climbin on the ladder buildin brick to brick Finally gettin paid for what I did for kicks So now I'm on the road, two kids at home Popularity got me losin clarity And sometimes I'm feelin guilty sick Between my wife and I, there's a hyphen, I Sometimes feel like there's a knife in line Ready to cut off our last lifeline And who's to blame? It's never easy of course But I'm the only one bringin up the divorce If loves fails, what do you do to prevail? Would you drink heaven if it was brewed in hell? Cause my relationship don't work But if you got kids then the road don't fork [Hook: K'naan] Raps turn tables in the box that booms Your little one's sittin alone in the room "When you comin home Dad?" I don't know when Cause Dad's hangin with his friennnnnnds You know we'll have a good time whennnnnn Dad stops hangin with his friennnnnnds [Buckshot] Let me ask you a question n***a.. How you got a seed that you never go check? But got enough cheese to get up in the coat check Up in the club like "Yeah n***a, yeah!" But your seed's in the crib like "Where's my gear?" Yeah, only gear you know Is the third gear on the train when you get with a ho Yo, bro you dipped from head to toe But your kids got f**ed up clothes and snotty noses Hoes is, not important when it comes to your little ones Your daughter or your son, dumb-dumb Tell 'em son [Hook] [KRS-One] Daycare, child care, tuition, fly gear It's all good but it means nothin if you're not there But the cops there, the crack rock's there "And where's my dad?" Not there! Now stop there, let me talk to the daughters When moms is corrupted, you know the whole family's out of order Daughter, I don't think you should order the fire water Think higher daughter, drink water Seek order, speak shorter, delete repeat callers Stop sleepin with players and ballers, stand taller There's a lot of young boys, but only one real man for ya One man on ya, have only one man call ya You could roll your eyes if you wanna But all that flirtin and short skirt-in leads to hurtin for certain! Real men are out there workin, and they not impressed with you You keep seekin little boys who only want s** from you Real men want the rest of you, real men walk next to you But is a real man a check to you? When a real man is in your house Whether lover or spouse, are you runnin him out? Are you comin with doubt? Are you all up in a real man's face, yellin, comin to shout? When the lovin is out, well, so is the man You know what's up but your kid won't understand He'll say, "When y'all broke up was I really part of the plan?" {*echoes*} [Hook] - sung by KRS [Hook]
