[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 F#m I come from a generation of home invasions and I got daddy issues, that's on me
Everything them four walls had taught me, made habits bury deep
Gmaj7 F#m That man knew a lot, but not enough to keep me past them streets
N.C.
My life is a plot, twisted from directions that I can't see
Gmaj7 F#m Daddy issues ball across my head, told me, "Fuck a foul" Em Bm I'm teary-eyed, wanna throw my hands, I won't think out loud Gmaj7 F#m A foolish pride, if I lose again, won't go in the house Em Bm I stayed outside, laughin' with my friends, they don't know my lifе Gmaj7 F#m Daddy issues made me lеarn losses, I don't take those well Em Bm Momma said, "That boy is exhausted," he said, "Go fuck yourself Gmaj7 F#m If he give up now, that's gon' cost him, life's a bitch Em Bm You could be a bitch or step out the margin", I got up quick Bbmb5 Bm I'm chargin' baskets and falling backwards, tryna keep balance C#mb5 D Oh, this the part where mental stability meets talent Bbmb5 Bm Oh, this the part, he breaks my humility just for practice C#mb5 D Gmaj7 Tactics we learned together, sore losers forever, daddy issues
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 F#m Early mornin' wake-ups, practicin' on day-offs Em Bm Tough love, bottled up, no chaser Gmaj7 F#m Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser Em Bm Neat, no chaser, neat, no chase Gmaj7 F#m Early mornin' wake-ups, practicin' on day-offs Em Bm Tough love, bottled up, no chaser Gmaj7 F#m Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser Em Bm Gmaj7 Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser
[Verse 2]
N.C.
I got daddy issues, that's on me
Em Bm Lookin' for, "I love you," rarely empathizin' for my relief Gmaj7 F#m A child that grew accustomed, jumping up when I scraped my knee Em Bm 'Cause if I cried about it, he'd surely tell me not to be weak Bbmb5 Bm Daddy issues, hid my emotions, never expressed myself C#mb5 D Men should never show feelings, being sensitive never helped Bbmb5 Bm His momma died, I asked him why he goin' back to work so soon? C#mb5 D His first reply was, "Son, that's life, the bills got no silver spoon" Gmaj7 F#m Daddy issues, fuck everybody, go get your money, son Em Bm Protect yourself, trust nobody, only your momma'n'em Gmaj7 F#m This made relationships seem cloudy, never attached to none Em Bm So if you took some likings around me, I might reject the love Gmaj7 F#m Daddy issues kept me competitive, that's a fact, nigga Em Bm I don't give a fuck what's the narrative, I am that nigga Gmaj7 F#m When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused Em Bm Guess I'm not mature as I think, got some healin' to do Gmaj7 F#m Egotistic, zero-given fucks and to be specific Em Bm Need assistance with the way I was brought up Gmaj7 What's the difference when your heart is made of stone F#m And your mind is made of gold Em Bm And your tongue is made of sword, but it may weaken your soul? Gmaj7 F#m My niggas ain't got no daddy, grow up overcompensatin' Em Bm Learn shit 'bout bein' a man and disguise it as bein' gangsta Gmaj7 F#m I love my father for tellin' me to take off the gloves Em N.C. 'Cause everything he didn't want was everything I was Bbmb5 Bm And to my partners that figured it out without a father C#mb5 D I salute you, may your blessings be neutral to your toddlers Bbmb5 Bm It's crucial, they can't stop us if we see the mistakes C#mb5 N.C. 'Til then, let's give the women a break, grown men with daddy issues
Gmaj7 F#m x2
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Early mornin' wake-ups, practicin' on day-offs F#m Tough love, bottled up, no chaser Gmaj7 Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser F#m Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser
