gym class heroes - like father, like son (papa's song) lyrics

[hook]
papa was a rolling stone
but i want to be the cover of a rolling stone
only i know that i can’t do it alone
only i know that i can’t do it alone

[verse 1]
august 6th, 1981 i took my first breath
they said i smiled and cried ‘til it was none left
i guess i knew what i was in for before hand
miniature grown man hah
third of three sons big bird and squirt guns
aunt tammy dressed up like a clown when i turned one
scared the sh-t out of me but thanks for trying
sitting in my high chair throw a kick and crying
i remember everything every single detail
clinging onto daddies leg like, “don’t leave, i’ll be good
i promise, i’ll do anything dad, honest.”
but he had to go to work and bust his -ss for them dollars
now it all makes sense back then i wasn’t having it
obsessed with he-man so young and so adamant
more concerned with castle grayskull than baseball
then i learned that if i worked a little i could have it all
all my friends got allowances i had a paper route
and when no one was looking i threw the papers out
got caught made dad furious
and if you gonna do something do it right
that’s what earnest is

[hook]
papa was a rolling stone
but i want to be the cover of a rolling stone
only i know that i can’t do it alone
only i know that i can’t do it alone

[verse 2]
papa was a rolling stone
working hard while i’m home alone on some macaulay culkin sh-t
so bit little man had to plan follow through with it
but mom’s was so inconsiderate
illiterate? nope i read the dictionary daily
gift the gab of rap and set sail and
step-moms brought the p–ping to the stick, nothing new to me
don’t act like you my momma ‘cause my dad bought you some jewelry
oh that sounds cool to read
i sat back and watched pops play the ladies like chess checkmate
6 siblings 3 different moms can you imagine
simply seeing your paycheck broken down to fractions
papa was a pimp married 4 times
indecisive tried to strike a gold mine
sifting through the sand something like a 49
and up to the point where my chest become a cold mine
but when they come and go i’ll be here to the bitter end pop just letting you know
i never understood temptation i guess we both got a little david ruffin in us
everybody sing it with us now

[hook]
papa was a rolling stone
but i want to be the cover of a rolling stone
only i know that i can’t do it alone
only i know that i can’t do it alone
papa was a rolling stone
but i want to be the cover of a rolling stone
only i know that i can’t do it alone
only i know that i can’t do it alone
