[Verse]

It was never my choice

I ain't never had a voice

Seen my life criss cross

I can't even see my son

But he doing ABC's

At the day care

And I'm in Jozi, working

Tryna hustle for his welfare

Doing ops, Modern Warfare

If I miss you, I will FaceTime

I got problems, gotta face mine

In love your flaws

Baby, you don't need the FaceApp

I can't move on

I face facts

Young and dumb, we was

Hit you 4th round

Then I take a cat nap

Told you stay in your bag

[Hook]

Daddy ain't around

I ain't around

I missed your first day

Doing what I can

I'm working hard

My boy don't lose faith

Really careful with my effin' circle

I don't buy face

I missed your first day

But I'm working, I'm not holiday

Daddy ain't around

I ain't around

I missed your first day

Doing what I can

I'm working hard

My boy don't lose faith

Really careful with my еffin' circle

I don't buy face

I missed your first day

But I'm working, I'm not holiday

[Verse 2]

I'm sorry I missеd your first day

And we made it late to your birthday party

I was excited

I was delighted

I saw your momma smile

I was so proud of her

Shed tears and I cried

I'm just away babe, I ain't living no lie

If I ever slip

Then I'm going back to the hood

Back to the hood

Couple months in the North

And I done came out from the hood

I wrote my life like a book

I'm a Jungle Boy

I'm an Island Boy

Do it all for my boy

[Hook]

Daddy ain't around

I ain't around

I missed your first day

Doing what I can

I'm working hard

My boy don't lose faith

Really careful with my effin' circle

I don't buy face

I missed your first day

But I'm working, I'm not holiday

Daddy ain't around

I ain't around

I missed your first day

Doing what I can

I'm working hard

My boy don't lose faith

Really careful with my effin' circle

I don't buy face

I missed your first day

But I'm working, I'm not holiday

[Bridge]

I made mistakes

I let bygones, be bygones

Homies is snakes

They're pythons

They're pythons

I'mma keep going bro

Till I'm' on, till I'm on

I told my brother Sky put me on

Put me on

I made mistakes

I let bygones, be bygones

Homies is snakes

They're pythons

They're pythons

I'mma keep going bro

Till I'm' on, till I'm on

I told my brother Sky put me on

Put me on

[Hook]

Daddy ain't around

I ain't around

I missed your first day

Doing what I can

I'm working hard

My boy don't lose faith

Really careful with my effin' circle

I don't buy face

I missed your first day

But I'm working, I'm not holiday
