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 boos
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 confuse
Review another view
Cause 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 caint do
Daddy was a dope man too
Daddy was a dope man too

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 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

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 caint 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 caint do
Daddy was a dope man too
