Gym Class Heroes - Like Father, Like Son (Papa's Song) lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Papa was a rolling stone <br>

But I wanna be the cover of a rolling stone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone. <br>

<br>

August 6th, 1981 I took my first breath. <br>

They said I smiled and cried until it was none left. <br>

I guess I knew what I was in for before hand. <br>

Miniture grown man ha. <br>

Third of three sons. Big bird and squirt guns. <br>

Aunt Tammy dressed up like a clown when I turned one. <br>

Scared the shit out of me but thanks for trying. <br>

Sitting in my highchair throwing cake and crying. <br>

I remember everything, every single detail, <br>

Clinging on daddy's leg like don't leave I'll be good. I promise. <br>

I'll do anything Dad honest. <br>

But he had to go to work and bust his ass for them dollars. <br>

Now it all makes sense, back then I wasn't havin it, <br>

Obsessed with He-Man so young and so adimit. <br>

More concerned with Castle Greyskull than baseball <br>

And I learned that if I worked a little that I could have it all. <br>

All of my friend's had allowances, I had a paper route. <br>

And when no one was looking I threw the papers out. <br>

I got caught made dad was furious <br>

And if your gonna do something do it right, thats what earnest is. <br>

<br>

Papa was a rolling stone <br>

But I wanna be the cover of a rolling stone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone. <br>

<br>

Papa was a rolling stone <br>

Working hard while I'm at home alone <br>

On some Macaulay Culkin shit so bit. <br>

Little man had a plan and had to follow through with it <br>

But moms was so inconsiderate. <br>

Illiterate? Nope. I read the dictionary daily. <br>

Give the gap the rap and set sailing <br>

Step moms get the poop end of the stick nothing new to me. <br>

Don't act like my momma because my dad bought you some jewlery. <br>

Oh the tom foolery <br>

I sat back and watched pops play with women like chess, check mate. <br>

Six sibilings, three different moms. Can you imagine <br>

Simply seeing your paycheck broken down into fractions. <br>

Papa was a pimp, married four times, <br>

Indicisive, trynna strike a gold mine. <br>

Siftin through the sand something like a fortyniner <br>

Up to the point where my chest becomes a coal mine. <br>

But when they come and go, <br>

I'll be here at the bitter end Pop I'mm just letting you know. <br>

I never understood temptation <br>

But I guess we both got a little David Rufus in us. <br>

Everybody sing it with us now. <br>

<br>

Papa was a rolling stone <br>

But I wanna be the cover of a rolling stone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone. <br>

<br>

Papa was a rolling stone <br>

But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone <br>

Only I know that I can do it alone.<br>

<BR><BR>
