father figure - pizon lyrics

[intro: pizon]
(giving up, so hard to do)
when i was nineteen years old, my father passed away
(i said i’ve tried)
i wrote this song shortly thereafter
never to be heard until now
(but it just ain’t no use)
these are the words of a grieving young man

[verse 1: pizon]
born in south queens, nineteen eighty*two
the son of a lady who was trying to make it through
even when daddy made a fool out of us
we knew how to hustle and bustle and do what we must
i must have been nine when he packed up and left for good
daddy said i’d get over it, mommy knew i nеver would
rehab, should have nеver witnessed it
they tried to say he was going away on a business trip (yeah right)
then when they told me the truth
i didn’t know what to believe, like yo, show me the proof
only a few months later he was diagnosed
i suppose his infection predates my conception
i could have been infected but i was tested
still i learned my lesson
stay away from needles and be careful when you share with people
best believe my life seen its share of evil
[chorus: jai]
i can’t give up hope that you’ll come back to us
didn’t you promise us that you’ll come back to us
now there is no chance that you’ll come back to us
now i’ve had enough, without a dad i’m crushed

[verse 2: pizon]
i never had a father figure
daddy was in and out the house so much that we would grow out of touch
and when he came home late the fights with mom were such a fright
i would duck as he cussed everything in his f’n sight
and all i could think about was how we looked so much alike
something wasn’t right, was it, mike?
even when he was there in the physical, the air was miserable
because i couldn’t pray enough for him to stay with us tonight
he never meant to hurt me
if by chance he did, he bought me pants and lids
and did i mention jerseys?
my love wasn’t for sale though he already had it
it’s tough when you’re in the jail of being a heavy addict
it’s true what they say about addicts and cheaters, boy, he was both
couldn’t choose between my mom, weed and coke
even though he showed love, he would leave a mark on me
that’s invisible to the eye but ain’t hard to see in my artistry

[interlude: pizon]
i gave a demo recording of this song to my friend joe ciofalo
he listened to it in his car
and called me from the side of the road
saying he had to pull over
because the emotion was too strong for him to focus on his driving
i put the song in the vault
and all these years later, i’m finally ready to share it with the world
[chorus: jai]
i can’t give up hope that you’ll come back to us
didn’t you promise us that you’ll come back to us
now there is no chance that you’ll come back to us
now i’ve had enough, without a dad i’m crushed
i can’t give up hope that you’ll come back to us
didn’t you promise us that you’ll come back to us
now there is no chance that you’ll come back to us
now i’ve had enough, without a dad i’m crushed

[outro: michael scala & (philip franco)]
but what, now what ever happened to them?
(they went crazy probably)
now listen, that scares me
