I get my drinking from my daddy
Used to kick the wisdom while he sipped up on his Brandy
He pushed a plymouth but that nigga used to whip it like a caddie
Never saw the method to his madness

Some days I would scream, "I can't stand you"
And then he slip up say he wished he never had me
I closed the distance once a nigga moved to Cali'
I wish I never moved to Cali'

I can't even hold a grudge no more
Tough love den made me grow up
City full of niggas that I really don't trust
Lonely and I'm drunk so I think I'll call him up and say

He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey

Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey

(Pray that I feel the same when I come down)
(Pray that I feel the same when I come down)
(Pray that I feel the same when I come down)

Finally on my own, see me on the road
Been a minute since I visit, hate to see you getting old
And I wished I never blamed you for the things you didn't know
Sometimes I wish I still had you to keep me on my toes

How it feel pops?
To see your young boy getting money,
got that deal pops,
put a little back up in your pocket
Here pops, I can pay you back for college now for real pops
Finally living like you live

He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey

Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
