You want what for no What chu mean is all we got? it...
It's Christmas time in the Montgomery Daddy's actin' all again Momma got herself a bloody Daddy slapped her in the face Why they always gotta fight so damn Momma swole Me and my bros in a state If thats the case, yo I can't just stay around Everything was fine, we just had We got all the Battle Cat, and Cringer, even Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain
Now we sit and listen to argue about how y'all planned this day And y'all just admitted to us Santa So Kid Vishis just ran poutin' Now I go and console him He wasn't but a spoiled little boy then Little naive an innocent cry All he ever wanted to do was fit in us And y'all bought him a of fake and put in a real Timberland box I forget them boots, they was called Rugged Outbacks
Momma went and found them at and us promise not to say nothin' Then Pop came in he ain't know nothin' about it Like, "Judy you gon' that boy out in public like that?" "He'll be fine, kids ain't 'bout to be looking down at his feet for no treat" And she really meant Meanwhile, this little arrogant nigga called stuntin' on me and Greg with him about, "where your Timbs at?" But he was too young to detect so we was like, "nigga, your Timbs at?"
Thanksgiving in the Montgomery home Greg just came in drunk again Now tryna' cover for him, she my Daddy gone punch him again Why you get drunk so much? damn! I wish you would just stay where you was at of coming home all rude and disrespectin' all our Follow all the and shit, man
The mood switched me and Vicious playing Connect Four Our Favorite movie just on the tube and it's it's Bloodsport And I'm at Frank Dux and shit, thinkin' you should split Daddy come down these stairs of basement and see you wasted But he just cut me off like, "That ain't gon' do shit"
But the truth is he couldn't whoop my dad even if he was I know 'cause he tried up unconscious, a broke arm and a tooth was chipped My big bro got a lot of emotional He that we was all abused as kids He saw Momma get dragged all kinds of stairs like a ragdoll he was two
And this is back when Daddy used to cocaine, poor thang He had to be subjected to this he gets drunk He to losing it He gets the illusion that he gon' protect us all from the Big Bad Stand up to him and some shit But all he really is stressing Mom out Gotta her goin', "boy you know your daddy up asleep The is ready, why don't you stop making all this noise and let him sleep?"
The done in the Montgomery home Dad has been awakened again is making all kinds of noise Daddy's on his way again "Who is that making all that God damn Greggy, get up here! You been out there again? the fuck I tell you about coming in my house with disrespectful shit? Nigga where the you don' been?"
I'm thinking to myself Greg please say nothin' stupid, man Every time my in his drawers and he standing in the mad at somebody, I swear to God he got the same as Superman My brother turned around and walks in the kitchen even givin' an answer, with his back to him like "I ain't talk to you nigga" "Nigga, you don't hear me to you?" Next thing my did is something that when it to my father is something you just don't do He him right in his eyes and he asked him, "what the fuck is you do?"
My father hit him so his body hit the stove The oven hit the fucking floor The turkey fell out the oven whole and landed near the Now Daddy over Greg talkin' 'bout, "Nigga, you hurt! Get up, get up!" And here Vish' talkin' 'bout, "Dad, I think he gon' get up" Then Momma went damn near She the police, the police came is all in the street watching the cops my father out in handcuffs Damn, man shit was real embarassing

"When you were a child growing up grandad and granny Did you really feel grandad was a good father to you?" Absolutely, absolutely. All my friend's was walking out on them left and right. Y'know he never left us, he was always for us. Y'know there a lot of things that happened I didn't understand. Maybe I not have answered the question the same way I was a teenager, but I and appreciate him so much more now: as a man. Y'know he taught me respect and discipline and consequences for acts. So of course
"Do you his approach as a father shaped the type of father that you are today, or do you in some ways think it had to it, and if so, kind of negative traits do you try to avoid as a father right now, to me?"
