pops - sean brown lyrics
[intro: sean’s dad]
hey sean this is dad. hey what’s going on? hey, just calling to let you know i been thinking about you, whatever
hoping and praying with winning for you this year, you know?
and if i don’t get to talk to you sometime today, uh in 2011, i will talk to you next year
hope to hear from you soon. alright, later
[verse 1]
you had the chance to be the opposite of another statistic
loving her was cool but havin’ me wasn’t the mission
kissing turned into something and then you turned up missing
having to see hopefully it was her decision
or at least that’s how the story goes when painted in my head
these are things that i think about when laying in my bed, thoughts
got my mind going on a trip like no other
was it just the one hit? did you really love her?
i don’t really care i’m getting older and i’m past that
it was just me and my momma rollin’ in the hatchback
doin’ all the daddy work that you were supposed to
every back to school night you would never show, fool
no bad blood, you was probably busy though, so
i never showed that it bothered me just like a lot of things
hoping i would get lucky one day just like a lottery winner
but for now another cold winter
[hook]
dear father one time, let me express how i feel through these rhymes
dear father one time, let me express how i feel through these rhymes
la da da da, da da (how’s it going?)
la da da da, da da
la da da da, da da (how’s it going?)
la da da da, da da
[verse 2]
finally got to meet you when i was about 10
momma said “your father is coming around 10,” shy kid
hardly ever spoke til i warmed up
so i was kinda awkward ever since you rolled up
you said, “hey son” and i didn’t say much
so nervous i lost my appetite i couldn’t eat lunch
met my brothers for the first time when i arrived
then i met my other two sisters it was quite the surprise
this is like a second life for me, imagine my mind
blowin’ up inside, double take, i had to rewind
quite a lot for a young boy to take in, you been vacant
in my life, barely found out your name was kent
and i’m supposed to call you dad the reason i was mad
i thought my mother was my dad thought you never had a chance
but you showed up out the blue skies, through the pain and the cryin’
at least you tried
[hook]
[verse 3]
i’m a grown man now so i can’t be mad
threw my grudges out the window but it’s still stuck in my mental
from time to time i wonder why the h-ll i got declined
livin’ without a father don’t you know it’s hard to climb?
society is blind why we livin’ this way?
black man in america is hard to escape
stereotypes, wrong from right, we can’t decide
but pops i forgive you cause it’s petty shit now
life is way too short to carry this frown
life is way too short so i carry this crown
king in my own eyes when i look in the mirror
nephew under my wing so he won’t be unfamiliar
with how to treat a woman and how to fight his fights
when the dark is chasin’ him i’ll teach him how to reach the light
yo, i should call you back i’ll probably do it soon
matter of fact i’ll do it right after i finish this tune
[hook x 2]
[outro: sean & his nephew]
sean: so tell me, are you a leader or a follower?
nephew: i’m a leader!
sean: okay then, what’s the three rules? break it down for me. and hey, think before you answer
nephew: i got it! always look a person in the eye. do that and they’ll respect you better. two was, to never be afraid to ask you for anything. stealing isn’t necessary. and the last one i think was to never respect anybody who doesn’t respect you back. that right?
sean: yeah, yeah you got it…..what do you know about sex?
nephew: i know a little bit
sean: oh yeah? what little bit is that?
nephew: i know, i take a girl, stick my thing in her and nine months later a baby comes out
sean: you think that’s it?
nephew: basically, yeah!
sean: well remember this. any fool with a d-ck can make a baby but only a real man can raise his children
