You want what for no What chu this is all we got? it...
It's Christmas time in the home actin' all crazy again Momma got herself a nose Daddy her in the face again Why they always fight so much? damn face swole Me and my bros in a panic If thats the case, yo I just stay around this Everything was fine, we had dinner We got all the Battle Cat, Adam and Cringer, even Castle Greyskull and Mountain
Now we sit and listen to y'all about how y'all planned this day And y'all just to us Santa fake So Kid just ran away poutin' Now I go and console him He wasn't nothin' but a spoiled little boy Little with an innocent cry All he wanted to do was fit in with us And bought him a pair of fake Timberlands and put in a Timberland box I never forget boots, they was called Rugged Outbacks
Momma went and found at Payless and made us not to say nothin' Then Pop came in like he ain't nothin' about it Like, "Judy you gon' send that boy out in public that?" "He'll be fine, these ain't 'bout to be looking down at his feet for no treat" And she really that Meanwhile, this little nigga called himself stuntin' on me and Greg with him talkin' about, "where your at?" But he was too to detect sarcasm so we was like, "nigga, where Timbs at?"
Thanksgiving in the Montgomery home Greg just came in here again Now Momma tryna' for him, she afraid my Daddy gone punch him Why you get drunk so much? damn! I wish you would stay where you was at instead of coming home all and disrespectin' all our father all the rules and shit, man
The mood done switched me and Vicious playing Connect Our Favorite movie came on the tube and it's ironic Bloodsport And I'm at Frank Dux and shit, thinkin' you should split Before come down these stairs of basement and see you wasted But he just cut me off like, "That nigga gon' do shit"
But the is he couldn't whoop my dad even if he was sober I know 'cause he tried Ended up unconscious, a broke arm and a tooth was My big bro got a lot of problems He feel we was all abused as kids He saw Momma get dragged down all of stairs like a ragdoll he was two
And this is back when Daddy used to sniff cocaine, poor He had to be subjected to when he gets drunk He gets to it He gets the illusion that he gon' protect us all from the Big Bad up to him and prove some shit But all he really is stressing Mom out Gotta her goin', "boy you know daddy up there asleep The is ready, why don't you making all this noise and let him stay sleep?"
The Turkey's done in the Montgomery Dad has been awakened again is making all kinds of noise Daddy's on his way angry "Who is making all that God damn noise? Greggy, get up here! You been out there again? What the fuck I tell you about coming in my with this disrespectful Nigga the fuck you don' been?"
I'm to myself Greg please don't say nothin' stupid, man time my Daddy in his drawers and he in the hallway mad at somebody, I to God he got the same strength as Superman My turned around and just walks in the kitchen Without even givin' an answer, his back to him like "I ain't gotta to you nigga" "Nigga, you hear me talking to you?" Next my brother did is something that when it comes to my father is something you just do He looked him in his eyes and he asked him, "what the is you gon' do?"
My hit him so hard his body hit the stove The oven hit the fucking floor The turkey fell out the oven and landed near the stairs Now Daddy standing over Greg 'bout, "Nigga, you hurt! Get up, get up!" And here Vish' talkin' 'bout, "Dad, I think he gon' get up" Then Momma damn near hysterical She the police, the police came Neighbors is all in the watching the cops my father out in handcuffs Damn, man that shit was real

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