[Verse]
It was never my choice
I ain't never had a voice
Seen my life criss cross
I can't even see my son
But he doing ABC's
At the day care
And I'm in Jozi, working
Tryna hustle for his welfare
Doing ops, Modern Warfare
If I miss you, I will FaceTime
I got problems, gotta face mine
In love your flaws
Baby, you don't need the FaceApp
I can't move on
I face facts
Young and dumb, we was
Hit you 4th round
Then I take a cat nap
Told you stay in your bag
[Hook]
Daddy ain't around
I ain't around
I missed your first day
Doing what I can
I'm working hard
My boy don't lose faith
Really careful with my effin' circle
I don't buy face
I missed your first day
But I'm working, I'm not holiday
Daddy ain't around
I ain't around
I missed your first day
Doing what I can
I'm working hard
My boy don't lose faith
Really careful with my еffin' circle
I don't buy face
I missed your first day
But I'm working, I'm not holiday
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry I missеd your first day
And we made it late to your birthday party
I was excited
I was delighted
I saw your momma smile
I was so proud of her
Shed tears and I cried
I'm just away babe, I ain't living no lie
If I ever slip
Then I'm going back to the hood
Back to the hood
Couple months in the North
And I done came out from the hood
I wrote my life like a book
I'm a Jungle Boy
I'm an Island Boy
Do it all for my boy
[Hook]
Daddy ain't around
I ain't around
I missed your first day
Doing what I can
I'm working hard
My boy don't lose faith
Really careful with my effin' circle
I don't buy face
I missed your first day
But I'm working, I'm not holiday
Daddy ain't around
I ain't around
I missed your first day
Doing what I can
I'm working hard
My boy don't lose faith
Really careful with my effin' circle
I don't buy face
I missed your first day
But I'm working, I'm not holiday
[Bridge]
I made mistakes
I let bygones, be bygones
Homies is snakes
They're pythons
They're pythons
I'mma keep going bro
Till I'm' on, till I'm on
I told my brother Sky put me on
Put me on
I made mistakes
I let bygones, be bygones
Homies is snakes
They're pythons
They're pythons
I'mma keep going bro
Till I'm' on, till I'm on
I told my brother Sky put me on
Put me on
[Hook]
Daddy ain't around
I ain't around
I missed your first day
Doing what I can
I'm working hard
My boy don't lose faith
Really careful with my effin' circle
I don't buy face
I missed your first day
But I'm working, I'm not holiday
