What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls 
it tough love 
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, 
and calls it tough love
Your roots grow in the crack of the alleys, college 
park made you
Man enough to see man enough to see, there ain't a 
goddamn man in me

Take me back to a date, before I was hostile and 
learned to hate

You promised yourself you would never become, 
A storm a blackout replicating the one
The thunder inside him became your life 
And you called him your best friend till the day you 
were nine

Hotel rooms, bourbon, and broads, a drifter living 
life, without God
You've done it now, you planted a seed, now the storm 
inside you, it swallows her

And I know life can be so strange 
But I know I can make a change 
I'm gonna wipe away the clouds for ya 

I'm gonna be around for ya, I'm gonna paint the town 
for ya, 
I'm gonna make a promise to give you everything you 
want and need, 
But she fucked up now, cause she's bearing another 
mouth you can't feed 

Cease production of a destructive breed, 
Seek help cause your pride only makes you weak
