Papa was a rolling stone
But I wanna be a cover of the rolling stone
Only if I know that I can do it alone
Only if I know that I can do it alone.

August 6th, 1981 I took my first breath. They said I smiled and cried until it was none left. I guess I knew what I was in for before hand. Miniture grown man ha. Third of three sons. Big bird and squirt guns. Aunt tammy dressed up as a clown when I turned one. Scared the shit out of me but thanks for trying. Sitting in my highchair throwing cake and crying. I remember everything, every single detail, clinging on daddy s leg like don t leave I ll be good. I promise. I ll do anything honest. But he had to go to work and bust his ass for those dollars. Now it all makes sense, back then I wasn t havin it, obsessed with [heatin it?] so young and so adimit. Walking [sir castle] grade school and baseball and I learned that if I worked a little that I could have it all.
All of my friend s had allowances, I had a paper route. And when no one was looking I threw the papers out. I got caught made dad was furious and if your gonna do something do it right, thats what earnest is.

Papa was a rolling stone

Papa was a rolling stone working hard while I was home alone. This is some Macaulay Culkin shit so bit. Little man had a plan and had to follow through with it but moms was so inconsiderate. Illiterate? Nope. I read the dictionary daily. Give the gap the rap and set sailing step moms get the poop end of the stick nothing new to me. Don t act like my momma because my dad bought you jewlery. Oh and time [coolery?] I sat back and watched pops play with women like chess, check mate. Six sibilings, three different moms. Can you imagine seeing your paycheck get broken down into fractions. Papa was a pimp, married four time, indicisive, trynna strike a gold mine. Sittin in the truth of sand something like a fortynine up to the point where my chest becomes a cold mine. But when they come and go, I ll be here at the bitter end just letting you know. I never understood temptation I guess we both got a little David Rufus in us. Everybody sing it with us now.
