TRACK 23 - DOPE MAN TOO - FGTBD2
LISTEN TO
I GOT WHAT
THEY WANT
HERE
VERSE 1:
1985 I arrived with the juice/
Momma named me junior cause my daddy was the truth/
Had to see that gradually his attitude was boof/
Actually his battle was with needles and the booZE/
Hadn't seen examples of what he was supposed to do/
And he wasn't planning to have baby number 2/
Mad at leaving college on a scholarship to hoop/
All that brought was drama that my momma would consume/
Never getting used to all the physical abuse/
Late nights always using saw him do it never knew what he was doing/
But the proof/
I used to hide it from him used throw it on the rooF/
Didn't want him dying from it that's best that I could do/
Sold it but he smoked it when he rolled out with the crew/
Wouldn't take it slow he didn't know that he should cruise/
Mama Neta told him wish he would've listened to her/
But he wasn't in control he didn't know what he was doing/
Momma stayed true through the smoke and the fumes/
His devotion to ruin/
left her open move/
Didn't have a clue what she had to do but she was through/
Knew she had to choose chose to go pursue something new/
Glad we didn't lose/
Sad to see a tragedy a truth/
But naturally imagine how I grew to be confuseD/
Review another view/
Cause daddy was a dope man too/
CHORUS:
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
He was doing what a dope man do/
Only moving how a dope man move/
Had a plan that he hoped came through/
Understanding it what most cain't do/
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
VERSE 2:
2013 told her we could make a move/
Wasn't really ready but I didn't want to lose/
Yeah my heart was heavy it was broken in to two/
Knew I needed healing on my own and that was true/
Still I put my head in to your arms and it was cool/
Steadily we fell into a love we never knew/
Telling me that you didn't care about what I pursue/
Even when the only checks deposited was you/
Feeling disrespected every time the rent due/
Still you whip it in the kitchen go and get the menu/
Friends and family got opinions and THEY reprimand you/
They didn't see the vision couldn't get a better view/
Telling you exactly what I'm feeling in the booth/
I done been attacked for representing what is true/
I know that my action is the only way to prove/
Matter fact let's take back to when we wasn't cool/
We was on the phone something I don't like to do/
But being on the road it's something that I'm used to/
I put that on my soul I wanted you to be in tune/
With knowledge I consume/
I need you to make the rules/
Take a new direction but together we would choose/
Based on the reflection from the heavens I include/
Never would I step on any method that we use/
When you started questioning me felt like you refused/
Thought I was infected by a negative bafoon/
Devilish because our parenting was getting hella views/
Apparently the man you married to was really letting loose/
Embarrassing to reach a level that was deeper than a root/
People was confused when they saw you with a bruised/
Wouldn't talk to me they just wanted me to be abused/
I was locked up and facing 4 years minimal/
Called pops cause I knew/
daddy was a dope man too/
CHORUS:
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
He was doing what a dope man do/
Only moving how a dope man move/
Had a plan that he hoped came through/
Understanding it what most cain't do/
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
He was doing what a dope man do/
Only moving how a dope man move/
Had a plan that he hoped came through/
Understanding it what most cain't do/
Daddy was a dope man too/
Daddy was a dope man too/
