DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN

Yeah, It's all good I'm doin' better without you But funny... you look just like him Everyday that I look in the mirror A reflection of someone I don't remember But I heard that he was something special - to someone that I hold so dear to me - mama (And she said he was a singer) Oh he could sing yeah! But he used it to abuse a lot of women Now you see was a he and that he is now me And I love my son and my son loves me And I know that it's painful but I wish you could see That a man is what I am - though you didn't give a damn When you left her on her own to raise me all alone And it's hard for me to hate ya When she say that I'm just like ya So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways 'Cuz Imanage what I am - though you didn't give a damn When you left her on her own to raise me all alone And it's hard for me to hate ya When she say that I'm just like ya So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways Was there time you ever there for me, no no How could you betray me Fucked up the family tree What about me, what about me What about me Now I hear that you - want to see me But I can't let it go not that easy See a man only knows what he feels and I feel that I can't trust you (keep it real) I don't need you And I can't believe that you would think that I would ever be like you 'Cuz it's cause you're my dad and I don't know you Even when I see you And to my son I could never leave you That a man is what I am - though you didn't give a damn When you left her on her own to raise me all alone And it's hard for me to hate ya When she say that I'm just like ya So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways 'Cuz I manage what I am - though you didn't give a damn When you left her on her own to raise me all alone And it's hard for me to hate ya When she say that I'm just like ya So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways You was never there Probably didn't even care That you have a son while you were on the run Never thought that twice If you were in my life 'Cuz you broke a happy home by you leavin' us alone Never gave a damn To find out who I am It's too late for you to communicate You was never there Probably didn't even care That you have a son while you were on the run That a man is what I am - though you didn't give a damn When you left her on her own to raise me all alone And it's hard for me to hate ya When she say that I'm just like ya So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways 'Cuz I manage what I am - though you didn't give a damn When you left her on her own to raise me all alone And it's hard for me to hate ya When she say that I'm just like ya So I'm praying everyday that God will change my ways Don't hate me Don't hate me Don't hate me I'm not like him, oh Never gonna be like you Never gonna walk talk like you
