Your stepfather didn't know Cuz you moved in stealth But your mama said no You gotta think about your health And I woulda said no But all I think about is wealth So I guess I'm like you I only think about myself Time to be a man Pull up my pants, tighten my belt Cuz in my dreams I can hear my son cring for help

I can only imagine How he would look right now I always treated you Like I took my vows Saw your picture and I swore That you looked like spouse But how the fuck Could you have my kid took right out I woulda given you the world If I had it Put it close enough for you To reach out and grab it We coulda been fly Like magets But opposites don't attract We're people, not magnets
