Growin' up without a father
For more than half my life now
At first it hurt
More than anything
But I became numb to it real quick

Learned as a youngin'
That happiness don't last
Pops drove outta my life
Like he was sleepin' on the gas 
Family left crutched
In such a need of a cast 
In my past kids laughed
I wanted to kick they ass 
Put me on blast 
Father's day came around
Miss asked who celebrated
My hand went down
Heart ached and pound
Tears drippin' to the ground
By some fateful force 
My life sailed this course
Crying to the point
My own voice went hoarse 
Swear a nigga out here
Still feelin' no remorse
Check it
You're listening to my pain 
Mama going through as well 
She also felt the same
Mama knew the bigger picture
But kept the fam together
Like a picture frame though
Bright as a window
Father doesn't even bother 
If I was a delinquent or a scholar
It doesn't even matter no more
All I have to say is Good Riddance

Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long 
(Yeah)

Poof and he gone
Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long
(Yeah)

Poof and he gone
Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long
(Yeah)

Poof and he gone
Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long

Mama raised us
Wit' everything she had
Even took on the role 
Of being mom and dad 
Went to every single game
Always screaming out my name
Sparking and igniting
My own inner flame
To push me to the max
Blessing me with the wisdom
Always spittin' out facts
I carry on my back 
Just know she had a plan
To make me a man
Wit' her very soft voice
Or a belt in her hand (Uh huh)
Mama had a goal 
That she kept in her mind
Raise son and daughter proper
And watch them shine
Takes a village for one
But you did it with two
Still loved and nurtured us
After all you've been through (Right)
Didn't need a 'nother nigga
To come and bring you down
Everything that you've shown
That you've done on your own
Deservin' all the credit
Of being independent
Pops wanting to leave
Leavin' us to grieve 
Man I still can't believe
I'm one of his seed 
Still makes me ashamed
Of havin' his first name
Kids are nothing like games
(Nothing like games)
F*ck you
My feelings have still been the same

Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long 
(Yeah)

Poof and he gone
Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long
(Yeah)

Poof and he gone
Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long
(Yeah)

Poof and he gone
Poof and he gone
Couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't say so long

A real man does not leave his family
He does not allow his blood to bleed
But only to be contained and safe
In the vein
From which it came
