AnywayBut its funnywe look just alike [just like you]
[Verse 1:]
Everyday that i look in the mirror
A reflection of someone I don t remember
But I heard that he was something special
To someone that I hold so dear to me [momma]
[She said he was a singer] Oh he could sing yeeaah
But he used it to abuse a lot of women
Now your seed was a he and that seed is now me
And I love my son [forever] and my son loves me [me]
And I know that its painful but I wish you could see
[Chorus:]
That a man is what I amTho you didn t give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I m just like ya
So I m praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I amTho you didn t give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I m just like ya
So I m praying everyday that God will change my ways
[Bridge:]
Was never there for me [no no]
How could you betray me
Broke up the family tree
What about me
What about me
[Verse 2:]
Now I hear that you wanna see me
But I can t let it go not that easy
See a man only knows what he feels
And I feel that I can t trust you
Keep it realI don t need you
And I can t think that you would think I would ever be like you
Cause its sad that you re my dad
And I don t know you
Even when I see you
And to my sonI could never leave you
[Chorus:]
That a man is what I amTho you didn t give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I m just like ya
So I m praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I amTho you didn t give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I m just like ya
So I m praying everyday that God will change my ways
[Breakdown]
You was never there
Probably didn t care
That you had a son
While you on the run
Never thought that twice of being in my life
Cause you broke a happy home
Why you leaving us alone
Never gave a damn to find out who I am
Its to late for you to communicate
You was never there
Probably didn t care
That you had a son
While you on the run
[Chorus:]
That a man is what I amTho you didn t give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I m just like ya
So I m praying everyday that God will change my ways
Cause a man is what I amTho you didn t give a damn
When you left her on her own to raise me on her all alone
Its hard for me to hate ya when she says that I m just like ya
So I m praying everyday that God will change my ways
Don t make medon t make medon t make me
Turn out like him
Ohhhhhnever gonna be like you
Never gonna walktalk like you noo
