Role Reversal

[Intro] Joey Talk To Em Hoping my true motherfucker know this be the realest shit I ever wrote It's, it's (Check this) It's that On Top Muzik [Verse] I be at the mall, walk up in the store Glance up at the wall, pick out a few kicks I need 11′s in these Matter of fact while you at it bring em’ in a size six I take shorty’s shoes off Like here try on these J’s make sure them shits fit But in my head it gets thick, sayin' Joey fall back, cause that's not your kid I don’t know you lil nigga and plus I got a son of my own But he’s at home and the ways he's being raised I don’t really condone Naw, cause his pops been gone, fuck it I'll explain it to him later when he’s grown Old enough to have a phone Askin' why mommy hate me And he got the sneak to call me whenever he’s alone so You wouldn’t know it but I got a soft spot for you See, we share them same obstacles Looking from the outside may seem like you neglect him But when he slips up and calls me dad, I correct him I protect him, when baby girl start ventin' about you I say, respect him And though it seems out of order My own mistakes have turned me into your biggest supporter Fast forward, you wouldn’t believe How I could love like mine what I didn’t conceive Tryin' to help him reach shit what I never achieved Am I doin' it for him or is it my own greed cause see Me and my baby moms, we don’t do the conversations Son cramped in the back, two-bedroom shack With seven people livin' there just congregatin' So when your child with me, I’m over compensatin' I’m talkin' eight bedrooms, seven baths My son thinkin' that’s the shit that only heaven has Mine's gotta keep it cool, yours get to see the view White marble around the ground, heated pool Mine's got to go to The Y Shit, yours just got to walk outside And the irony of it all, and it's just sad Is you walked away yet, I’m the step dad And then you get on Skype, sayin' how you being, whats the word And I be on the background listenin' like This motherfucker here got some nerve He says, bye Daddy, I love you I be wantin' to snuff you but wouldn’t want him thinkin' less of you But, he's perceptive and this shit's wild He picks up on everything and he's just a child So through all my resistance I’m afraid this two-year-old can already see the difference He sees you don’t provide when you’re capable Why we never fix things while we're still able too So you’re annoyed, it kinda of hampers me Get my boy, I always wanted a family Just to greet when I get through the door You gon' have to take the L, I can't give you yours I’ll do all the work, you ain't gotta be bothered You can be his dad, I'll be his father I relate though, so I know it hurts Got to be uncomfortable when the roles reversed [Outro] I been in your shoes my whole life, nigga Try these on I relate though, so I know it hurts Got to be uncomfortable when the roles reversed (OH! Talk to em!) Nahmean? (I been there!) Shit can't feel good (You wanna see how it feel?)
