kendrick lamar - daddy issues (father time demo) lyrics

[verse 1: kendrick lamar]
i come from a generation of home invasions and i got daddy issues, that’s on me
everything them four walls had taught me, made habits bury deep
that man knew a lot, but not enough to keep me past them streets
my life is a plot, twisted from directions that i can’t see
daddy issues ball across my head, told me, “f+ck a foul”
i’m teary+eyed, wanna throw my hands, i won’t think out loud
a foolish pride, if i lose again, won’t go in the house
i stayed outside, laughin’ with my friends, they don’t know my life
daddy issues made me learn losses, i don’t take those well
momma said, “that boy is exhausted,” he said, “go f+ck yourself
if he give up now, that’s gon’ cost him, life’s a b+tch
you could be a b+tch or step out the margin,” i got up quick
i’m chargin’ baskets and falling backwards, tryna keep balance
oh, this the part where mental stability meets talent
oh, this the part, he breaks my humility just for practice
tactics we learned together, sore losers forever, daddy issues

[chorus: sampha]
early mornin’ wake+ups (ah), practicin’ on day+offs (ah)
tough love (ah), bottled up, no chaser (ah)
neat, no chaser (ah), neat, no chaser (ah)
neat, no chaser (ah), neat, no chase+ (ah)
early mornin’ wake+ups (wake+ups), practicin’ on day+offs (ah, day+offs)
tough love (ah), bottled up, no chaser (ah)
neat, no chaser (ah), neat, no chaser (ah)
neat, no chaser (ah), neat, no chaser
[verse 2: kendrick lamar & sampha]
i got daddy issues, that’s on me
lookin’ for, “i love you”, rarely empathizin’ for my relief
a child that grew accustomed, jumping up when i scr+ped my knee
’cause if i cried about it, he’d surely tell me not to be weak
daddy issues, hid my emotions, never expressed myself
men should never show feelings, being sensitive never helped
his momma died, i asked him why he goin’ back to work so soon?
his first reply was, “son, that’s life, and bills got no silver spoon”
daddy issues, f+ck everybody, go get your money, son
protect yourself, trust n0body, only your momma’n’em
this made relationships seem cloudy, never attached to none
so if you took some likings around me, i might reject the love
daddy issues kept me competitive, that’s a fact, n+gga
i don’t give a f+ck what’s the narrative, i am that n+gga
when meek mill got back with drake, i was slightly confused
guess i’m not mature as i think, got some healin’ to do
egotistic, zero+given f+cks and to be specific (ah)
need assistance with the way i was brought up (ah, ah)
what’s the difference when your heart is made of stone
and your mind is made of gold
and your tongue is made of sword, but it may weaken your soul?
my n+ggas ain’t got no daddy, grow up overcompensatin’
learn sh+t ’bout bein’ a man and disguise it as bein’ gangsta
i love my father for tellin’ me to take off the gloves
’cause everything he didn’t want was everything i was
and to my partners that figured it out without a father
i salute you, may your blessings be neutral to your toddlers
it’s crucial, they can’t stop us if we see the mistakes
’til then, let’s give the women a break, grown men with daddy issues
[chorus: sampha]
early mornin’ wake+ups (ah), practicin’ on day+offs (ah)
tough love (ah), bottled up, no chaser (ah)
neat, no chaser (ah), neat, no chaser (ah)
neat, no chaser (ah), neat, no chaser
