He was less than a rolling stone, just a loose pebble/
Maybe he felt like his woman and kids ain't on his level
So he pulled off in the yellow car, smokin' like the devil/
Kettle steaming in my mind, wishing it could burn the metal
But instead he burned us with icy words as he sped out/
If I had a gun then, I would've got the lead out
Left mama drownin' in bills, her brothers gave her handouts/
Not good enough, we layin' pallets at my Gram's house
Years passed mama got a job and apartment/
He showed up outta nowhere trying to take us to department
Stores, he was with some whore we didn't know/
My mama being the strong black woman simply said "No...
These kids are mine, you ain't gon' fuck with they minds/
You the nigga that left, told us to kiss yo' behind"
He left with a long face, but after long wait/
Only seen him at funerals, my mind was at the Wake
But my soul was still mourning losing him ova nothing/
But when I went to HIS funeral I mourned ova something
When he died, made me wish we could've talked as grown men/
How could we do that when I had discontent
Maybe it was meant, relationship on its ends/
Bent my mind over poetry and raps since I was 10
Sometimes he was the fuel, sometimes he was the fire/
At the bus stop battling dudes til I got tired
Wishing he could see my small victories and smile/
But instead he left me stranded, as an unwanted child
Now here I am... looking at his eyes through the mirror/
Me and wifey might split, shit, now I see it clearer
His actions were wrong, but him and moms wasn't great/
Together, so he left, so to that part I can relate
But this shit's making me debate settling or divorce/
Stay with a woman that ain't my soulmate or change course
I always tell her that no matter what happens/
I'll always be a good daddy, I accept that challenge
I hope that this relate to those that also felt stranded/
If your parents are still living, faults can be reprimanded
Your pains aren't the only ones that's candid/
Forgiving ain't forgetting, death will MAKE you understand this...
Don't be stranded...
