Now we sit and listen to y'all argue how y'all planned this day And y'all admitted to us Santa fake So Kid Vishis ran away poutin' Now I gotta go and him He wasn't but a spoiled little boy then Little naive with an cry All he wanted to do was fit in with us And bought him a pair of fake Timberlands and put in a real box I never forget them boots, they was called Rugged
Momma went and found them at and made us not to say nothin' Pop came in like he ain't know nothin' about it Like, "Judy you gon' send 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 himself stuntin' on me and Greg him talkin' about, "where your Timbs at?" But he was too young to detect so we was like, "nigga, where Timbs at?"
It's in the Montgomery home just came in here drunk again Now Momma cover for him, she afraid my Daddy punch him again Why you gotta get drunk so damn! I wish you just 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 Four Our Favorite movie just on the tube and it's ironic it's And I'm at Frank Dux and shit, thinkin' you should split Before come down these stairs of this basement and see you But he just cut me off like, "That nigga ain't do shit"
But the truth is he couldn't my dad even if he was sober I know 'cause he once Ended up unconscious, a broke arm and a tooth was My big bro got a lot of problems He that we was all abused as kids He saw Momma get dragged down all of stairs a ragdoll when he was two
And this is back when Daddy to sniff cocaine, poor thang He had to be to this when he gets drunk He gets to it He gets the illusion that he protect us all from the Big Bad Wolf Stand up to him and prove shit But all he doing is stressing Mom out Gotta her goin', "boy you know your daddy up there The is ready, why don't you stop making all this noise and let him sleep?"
The Turkey's done in the home Dad has just been awakened 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 drinking again? What the fuck I you about coming in my house with this shit? where the fuck you don' been?"

Next thing my brother did is that when it comes to my father is something you just do He him right in his eyes and he asked him, "what the fuck is you do?"
My father hit him so hard his hit the stove The oven hit the fucking floor The turkey fell out the oven whole and landed the stairs Now Daddy standing over talkin' 'bout, "Nigga, you hurt! Get up, get up!" And here Vish' talkin' 'bout, "Dad, I think he gon' get up" Then went damn near hysterical She the police, the police came Neighbors is all in the watching the cops takin' my father out in Damn, man that shit was real

Y'know he never left us, he was always for us. Y'know there were a lot of that happened I didn't understand.
