Mr. Lif - The Now слова песни
[Verse 1]Daddy`s got a new life nowA new daughter and a new male childA new swagger wid some real styleNew car new house brand new spouseLittle shitty dog named Pouts wid smile on his mouthWe`ll be straight up we`re forgotten cause developed a planOnce the monkey takes some time to hang with his own famHap` and gay to let ya know he still cares and suchYa won`t grow apart too much from bein` outta touchBut he wasn`t there for him on the daily ghetto basisIn order to drop jewels I stay clear of the racistsHeavy promises became weightlessSincerity became faintlessHe`s praying for a Santa A-listTime is passin` by yet his scars remain agelessHe called him on the phone to say pop`sThis`ll take a minute of ya timeBut his wishes were divinedBy the disenchanted tone at the end of the line, hang upHe tried to look strong in front of mom back upJohn stop lookin` forward to the day you gonna see him onDry ya eye to eye and you`ll receive an embraceFrom a lost heart that`s pumpin` blood up to a guilty faceHe`s gonna try to find ways to make up for the last twenty nine daysOr was it thirty, I think he heard meIn situations like this ya speech becomes wordyHe`s got a hundred million ways to tell me not to worryBut this time I wasn`t hangin` on his every sentenceEars crippled by the pain and negligence so was the tendenceHe spoke I couldn`t hear a word I zoned into black I observedMy only thoughts were missin` out on love that I deservedTryin` to convince myself I`m weak within the mentalThe silence breaks because your father`s guidance is essentialHe`s lookin` down with a smile sayin` that the future will be greatI don`t see that dad, but what about the now?Johnny come and leave ya dad alone nowYeh it`s just you and momma nowStop the cryin` now, just try to smile nowTry to think of other things nowMomma`s got another date nowYou can get through all the anger and the hate nowCalm down and wipe ya face nowI know it seems to be hardbut I promise you we`ll make it through somehow*scratching* "And now"[Verse 2]Little girl their firstborn their sunshineNever been a reader wrong get it right one timeHere`s how it goes, she`s off to school an` dancin` on her toesAt an hour long ballet class then on to the pianoTwo hours of repetition, emulatin` class with music compositionsDo your homework with precisionBy nine-o-clock she collapses in a heat of dizzinessBut sleep so tomorrow you`ll repeat ya busi-nessShe got straight A`s a stroke of her stressThroughout her maydays but drawn up out the meleesHer mom and dad tryna blame each other different ways she stop and gazeThinkin` how it drives her crazy when their voices raisedThis the web that ruins most of her daysFrom her perfection was expectedan exec that workin` hard without receivin` any raiseAt night she cries when she laysThen she wakes up, washes up smiles and goes along like it`s okayOn to high school, there`s more intensity within her cycleShe`s makin` all the guys droolHere comes the extra tight rulesNo late, not with college on the platePractice hard, study hard stay in focus keep ya head straightNow she`s a nervouse wreck, lookin` to collectAnything that she can smoke swallow drink or injectWhen she was mentally gone she went to the promHad dates and actually could sit downdiscuss relationships with her momBut tell me how much pressure can a person takeBefore they break and maybe crush this on a large enough escapeSo one night she turned in but stayed up lateAt her desk with a single piece of paper and a papermateHere`s mom a federal team waked at daybreakWhat she saw made her knees shake the death of dear KateThe note said here`s the future of your fuckin` perfect childPlease be proud I`m livin` for the nowDo your work, clean your room nowTake the makeup off your face nowEat your dinner now, get off the phone nowLeave the boys alone nowSaturday night, you stayin` home nowGo to your room and sit alone nowKatie with the needle howLook baby momma needs you nowBreathe now, God why did this have to be now*scratching of line* "And Now!" (until fade)
