Daddy Issues, you thought I hadn't didn't you

I'm actually just reserved, I'm having passive issues

You getting on my nerves while you assuming shit

Confirmed the animosity I have against you

It is what it is

Went through a lot when I was a kid

Grown now still affected by the shit

But you'll never see me quit

Daddy caused pain tryna cure his own agony

Call a house of card ya home, you better off on the balcony

Tryna keep hope alive ended up with more casualties

I guess that’s what happens when your platform's a fallacy

You can't walk me down the aisle to my wedding ring

In fact you won’t witness me accomplish anything

Expressing my grievances

Storytelling thru prestigious gifts

You knew how these demons get

Tried drowning yours in liquor all naive and shit

Doctors said you couldn’t even conceive a kid

But you did, no doubt I'm here

Can't imagine the amount people in ya ear

Anyway Im doing what I can to see my daughter smile

Putting in work everyday to make my mama proud

Living stress free life is all I ever thought about

We been through hell no one but God got us out

Daddy Issues, you thought I hadn't didn't you

I'm actually just reserved, I'm having passive issues

You getting on my nerves while you assuming shit

Confirmed the animosity I have against you

It is what it is

Went through a lot when I was a kid

Grown now still affected by the shit

But you'll never see me quit

Being that I was girl who grew up fatherless

I could’ve been, drug addicted, incompetent

Hell I could’ve been all kinds of shit

You know how the stereotypes of those daughters get

Instead I grew up the total opposite

Tho I am the product of broken promises and pocket lent

Still a poet, a novelist, messenger yeah a prophetess

An artist with a voice that I spit knowledge with

Used to love calling my step pops dad

Though now I’d love to put his ass in a head lock fast

Never forget when he busted my mama’s nose

You drink to cure pain so what you causing problems for

But I love him for conceiving my sister Tianna though

Academically gifted, a dancer and makes the honor roll

He ain't even stick around for his daughter tho

Blood ain't always thicker water yo

Daddy Issues, you thought I hadn't didn't you

I'm actually just reserved, I'm having passive issues

You getting on my nerves while you assuming shit

Confirmed the animosity I have against you

It is what it is

Went through a lot when I was a kid

Grown now still affected by the shit

But you'll never see me quit
