I wanna sing I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
read all about it
Oh
Nothing to hide
Strive for the smother
Suffered and cried
Strife made me tougher
Never mumbled or shy'd
The trouble i rise above em
Expectations to get rep
Ain't never begged yet
When I wanted to
get pence hustle
To be I'm exactly what
my neck says.. Luck
Said I tried to
cash in on my Dad's death
I wanted to vent 'stead
I said nothing at all
After all you were
never kin to me
Family is something
that you never been to me
In fact making it harder for me
to see my father was
the only thing that
you ever did for me
I wanna sing I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
read all about it oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Dear dad..
As a kid I looked up to you
Only thing was I never
saw enough of you
Last thing I said to you
was I hated you
I loved you but now it's
too late to say to you
Just didn't know what to do
and how to deal with it
Even now deep down
I'm still livid
To think I used to blame me
I wonder what I did to you
to make you hate me
I wasn't even bad life's a journey
and mine wasn't an easy ride
You never even got to see me rap
I just wish you woulda reached out
I wish you woulda been
round when I been down
I wish that you could see me now
Wherever you are I really
hope you find peace
But know that if I ever have kids
Unlike you I'll never let
them be without me
I wanna sing I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
read all about it oh
I write songs i cant listen to
Everything I have
I give to you
In every one of these
lines I sing to you
My job's more like public service
My life just became yours
to read and interpret
If you heard it it'd come
across a lot different at times
I throw fits when I read
how they word things
You've see me smile
Now you're gonna
have to see me hurt
Coz pretending everything is
alright when it ain't
really isn't working
I wanna sing I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
read all about it oh
I ain't censoring myself for nobody
I'm the only thing I can be
All that is good all that is bad
all that is me
I wanna sing I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers
I'm not afraid
They can Read all about it
Read all about it oh
