[00:00.000] 作曲 : Gary Lucas
[00:11.351]In sweet dreams, I kid myself
[00:15.982]Have your love for good
[00:21.341]I really had hoped you'd stay
[00:24.852]But like the river, you just come and go
[00:30.188]And these things, they comfort me
[00:36.237]When my mind's on you
[00:41.357]And I feel you comfort me
[00:46.325]But like the river, it just comes and goes
[00:51.024]I used to think that you was Superman when I was younger (Yeah)
[00:53.668]Findin' comfort in your voice when I was down and under
[00:56.307]Put you on a pedestal and now I kinda wonder if that made sense
[00:59.131]'Cause I'm convinced you showed a lot of colors (Yeah)
[01:01.642]All them nights I was alone, I hid inside the covers
[01:03.932]Used to argue with my moms whenever I was stubborn (Facts)
[01:06.605]I never warmed up to the idea of a step-dad because he wasn't you
[01:10.141]And you and him ain't even like each other (Word)
[01:12.515]Used to bring me 'round your girlfriends as I recall
[01:14.636]I thought one or two was cool, but I ain't like 'em all
[01:17.023]'Cause all you ever did was argue 'bout who's right or wrong
[01:19.677]And you ain't have no job
[01:20.398]So you would sit at home and light a bong (Yeah)
[01:22.403]Used to crave for your attention, but I never got it
[01:24.718]And everything you said we'd do is just another promise
[01:27.492]You had dreams of bein' famous and I never doubted
[01:30.033]But I started rhymin' to impress you, if we bein' honest (Facts)
[01:32.655]But we can have some bondin' time and maybe pow-wow
[01:35.216]A father/son relationship that we can smile 'bout
[01:38.093]At time's you got abusive and I had to bow down
[01:40.490]Or keep on makin' music to try and compete with Bow Wow
[01:42.761]Your father died when you was young, I think that made a scar
[01:45.727]I started thinkin' maybe that's why you the way you are (Nah)
[01:48.202]End of the day, no excuse for how you played your part
[01:50.779]Told myself when I became a father, I'ma raise the bar (Word)
[01:53.557]We had a lot of fallin' outs and didn't talk for years
[01:55.996]And all them birthdays and holidays got awfully weird
[01:58.670]You throw me in a foster home and I was brought to tears
[02:01.329]Livin' with some strangers, feelin' anxious, I was lost and scared (Yeah)
[02:04.394]And now I'm starin' at the river tryna get across
[02:06.455]And all I see is apparitions of what never was
[02:09.087]And everything I used to wish for is dead and lost
[02:12.063]And if I never see your ass again, I'll be better off
[02:14.606]I'll be better off (Yeah)
[02:16.389]You are so negative (Uh)
[02:20.897]And you say you know
[02:25.815]But you know a goddamn thing
[02:30.198]Like the river, you just run and go
[02:35.800]You say you could do good
[02:41.676]And better you know
[02:46.573]But you tried no goddamn thing
[02:50.736]Like the river, I'ma run from you
[02:56.836]I told myself I wouldn't write a song, but f*ck it, I did
[02:59.000]Oftentimes, I sit and wonder if it's somethin' I did
[03:01.417]Or maybe I was immature, but is it somethin' I said?
[03:04.054]I can't help but feel the feelin' that there's somethin' I missed
[03:06.578]I told you somethin' happened to me and you ain't protect me (Yeah)
[03:09.180]You tried to say you ain't believe me as you disrespect me (Facts)
[03:11.734]And plus, you never had my back, in fact, you may resent me in a way
[03:14.528]'Cause everythin' I say, you try to use against me (Word)
[03:17.201]And I never knew your other kids, but I knew of 'em (True)
[03:19.563]I'm not really sure if I like 'em, but I do love 'em (Do)
[03:22.246]Sh*t, I don't even think you knew but just a few of 'em
[03:24.772]'Cause all your baby mothers stayed away to keep you from 'em (Word)
[03:27.465]You probably out fillin' they heads with sh*t that's not the truth
[03:30.134]You probably told 'em that I switched up when I got some loot (Uh)
[03:32.728]You probably told 'em that I'm greedy and I'm not so cool
[03:35.166]That I worship the devil and I sold my soul to cop a pool (Yeah)
[03:37.699]I worked my ass off to get rich, let's not confuse
[03:40.339]I sacrificed my whole twenties just so I can move (True)
[03:43.087]While everybody else was chillin', hangin' out with crews
[03:45.656]I was writin' a plan to finally win while tryin' not to lose (True)
[03:48.095]I still remember signin' my deal and you got hella funny
[03:50.803]And at that time, you probably figured I had hella money (Yeah)
[03:53.537]But I only got a small advance
[03:54.856]So I ain't even get a chance to hold you down
[03:56.722]'Cause then you started gettin' jealous of me
[03:59.094]But I'm worth a couple million now, I turned out fine (Yeah)
[04:01.405]I copped my moms a big crib and went and got mine
[04:04.002]An indoor pool with a house made and I'm not lyin' (Nope)
[04:06.635]A happy son who loves his dad, it's about time (Yeah)
[04:09.627]But I'm still starin' at the river tryna get across
[04:11.803]And all I see is apparitions of what never was
[04:14.439]And everything I used to wish for is dead and lost
[04:17.043]And if I never see your ass again, then I'll be better off
[04:19.768]I think I'll be better off
[04:21.443]Karma comes back and it's co-co-comin' (Co-co-comin')
[04:25.422]Treatin' me bad and I'm ru-ru-runnin' (Ru-ru-runnin')
[04:30.794]Karma comes back and it's co-co-comin' (Co-co-comin')
[04:36.183]Treatin' me bad, I'm ru-ru-runnin' (Ru-ru-runnin')
[04:41.384]And congratulations, n*gga, you won
[04:42.938]And all the love you never gave me, I can give to my son
[04:45.802]Eternal love to my child, we'll forever be one
[04:48.323]Thanks to you, I know the man that I would never become
[04:51.224]Never become
