X.Kalibur - Broken Home lyrics

[Mother talking to son] I am so proud of you, you know despite your father not being here You've done exceptionally well, and I know you'll do great at anything you put your mind to [D. Ciano Intro] This is the story of a broken home [Verse 1 from Son's Perspective] He said mama I appreciate you for being there you're all I've known All alone, yet strong enough to raise me on your own Now I've grown, and this is something I should know What kind of man plants a seed and doesn't watch it grow? I'm sorry you had to see what resentful is… I'm sorry mama Sorry my features resemble his…. I promise mama I won't be nothing like that s**m donor absentee Forget the genes he gave me, I'll wear the pants in the family The lack of father figure did not make me spark a trigger Or engage in darker liquor, all because I'm smarter than him He should've been there, so I could get to know him But I ain't tripping, that deadbeat ain't worth me spitting on him Tho the ceremonies, trips, & birthdays were ignored He could've at least been there for one of the touchdowns I scored I'm his boy, thinking how I should snuff him isn't right It's just a part of me still wants him in my life [Son's Chorus] I just want him in my life mama Why can't he be in my life Feels like a part of me is missing mama Cause he was never in my life Maybe I should reach out to him To tell him just how I feel Feels like a part of me's been missing mama And at times it gets hard to deal…. for real [Hook] I fear that all hope is gone I come from a Broken Home At times I feel all alone I come from a Broken Home [Verse 2 from Mother's Perspective] She said don't worry about him baby, his absence can't effect us If we stick together & pray, the Lord will protect us I raised you to have drive, so the moment you start the car Remember we went without him, and look at how smart you are He doesn't call to check up on you, or to see how you've been He doesn't offer a**istance, and using distance to fend For himself on his end, always too good to attend Plus he'd pretend, He didn't have the time or money to spend Regardless, with or without him, I promise we're straight I never knew my father either, so I can relate Your father got a house built for a family that was not us Then had another kid with his wife, and forgot us But I got us, and we're already doing fine So don't steady think or let him weigh heavy on your mind Cause see he tried to destroy you, while I forever build That's why we never needed him and we never will [Mother's Chorus] We don't need him at all We don't need him at all We're better off without him here We don't need him at all He never even tried to help us He left us here to fall And look at far we've got without him And he won't even call [Hook] Father (Verse 3) I know you couldn't be that selfish and bitter, you must be kidding me Refusing to let me visit, or even have him visit me What kind of a mother are you?, you could ruin him You have no right to bide his youth or hide the truth from him He's entitled to his father, he needs me like I need him How you got me on child support, and still won't let me see him Do you let him read all the letters I've written? Is he even seeing a portion of the money I'm sending? It's unfair, cutting contact? you're blocking a bond Tripping, skipping to different cities at the drop of a dime I can't stay in my Dad's lane.. my first born, my last name He has the window to my soul, yet you got the gla** stained It's past pain, It's cruel, telling your fam that I'm worthless Probably got my son thinking his dad is absent on purpose Me finding happiness made you use your spite as a gun But you can't shoot a man down, who wants a life with his son [Father's Chorus] He's my son Please let me see my son I know we've had our differences But don't keep me from my son He's mine just as much as yours So let me see our son I'll fight for custody if I have to You can't rob me of my son [Hook]
