Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
August 6th 1981 I took my first breath
They said I smiled and cried until it was none left
I guess I knew what I was in for before hand
Miniture grown man ha
Third of three sons
Big bird and squirt guns
Aunt tammy dressed up as a clown when I turned one
Scared the **** out of me but thanks for trying
Sitting in my highchair throwing cake and crying
I remember everything every single detail
Clinging on daddy's leg like don't leave I'll be good
I promise I'll do anything honest
But he had to go to work and bust his *** for those dollars
Now it all makes sense back then I wasn't havin it
Obsessed with heatin it so young and so adimit
Walking sir castle grade school and baseball and I learned
That if I worked a little that I could have it all
All of my friend's had allowances I had a paper route
And when no one was looking I threw the papers out
I got caught made dad was furious
And if your gonna do something do it right thats what earnest is
Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Papa was a rolling stone working hard while I was home alone
This is some Macaulay Culkin **** so bit
Little man had a plan and had to follow through with it but moms was so inconsiderate
Illiterate Nope I read the dictionary daily
Give the gap the rap and set sailing step moms get the poop end of the stick nothing new to me
Don't act like my momma because my dad bought you jewlery
Oh and time coolery I sat back and watched pops play with women like chess check mate
Six sibilings three different moms
Can you imagine seeing your paycheck get broken down into fractions
Papa was a pimp married four time indicisive trynna strike a gold mine
Sittin in the truth of sand something like a fortynine up to the point
Where my chest becomes a cold mine
But when they come and go
I'll be here at the bitter end just letting you know
I never understood temptation I guess we both got a little David Rufus in us
Everybody sing it with us now
Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
