To piggyback off of track #7 ‘Soul[o]’, this track also displays my anger towards my circumstance. This time I refer directly to my father and his addiction as the source of this circumstance, calling him “daddy red face”.
Chorus:
One L two L three L four see the red in your eyes daddy red face
When I walk feel the pain in my dead fate
Sitting on the couch and you're out for the count that's a dead rate
Uh, daddy red face
Daddy, daddy
Uh, One L two L three L four see the red in your eyes daddy red face
When I walk feel the pain in my dead fate
Sitting on the couch and you're out for the count that's a dead rate, uh
Daddy red face, yeah, daddy red face
Verse 1:
God created heaven and the earth He created you
He created me through you
Through you I had different pains games played cause I branched out
Mouth big so I lashed out saying that you coulda done better
Believe me better than other men cause I been searching
I been hurting but the surface seemed so perfect it's not worth it anymore
You're supposed to be my daddy, we're supposed to be a family
Any day I thought you had me
As a kid so gullible never understood that trapped in a box of your own
How you made your son feel so alone?
Had to learn on his own how to stand and be strong 'fore long he got many demons of his own
Mama could do but so much
She showed love but she had to ridicule in your place and your face was so red
And your place was so dead
One day I took a sip by accident and in fact I meant to pour it out right there right then
It's like your bad friend came to visit again, uh, yeah
Until then it's
Chorus:
One L two L three L four see the red in your eyes daddy red face
When I walk feel the pain in my dead fate
Sitting on the couch and you're out for the count that's a dead rate
Uh, daddy red face
Daddy, daddy
Uh, One L two L three L four see the red in your eyes daddy red face
When I walk feel the pain in my dead fate
Sitting on the couch and you're out for the count that's a dead rate, uh
Daddy red face, yeah, daddy red face
Verse 2:
(sings) You took it from me, uh
All my dignity, all my sanity oh oh you took it from me (took it took it took it oh yeah)
I cannot believe you
You still wanna take each piece from my soul there are holes in my heart can't even begin to start to forgive when I live with the lies and the anger danger in these four walls
I fear for ya life as I fear for mine, cause I never had a papa bear fear for mine
Ya mind's not here bet your mind has fear as the blind man, and your mind has, that's you
I leave cause you stay
I look you in the eyes and our time has strayed you betrayed my trust at a young age
Many pages have turned and you earn no respect cause your ways haven't changed and you choose to neglect
Instead of accepting what is
Your life is a mess
You cannot progress when you always digress
Chorus:
One L two L three L four see the red in your eyes daddy red face
When I walk feel the pain in my dead fate
Sitting on the couch and you're out for the count that's a dead rate
Uh, daddy red face
Daddy, daddy
Uh, One L two L three L four see the red in your eyes daddy red face
When I walk feel the pain in my dead fate
Sitting on the couch and you're out for the count that's a dead rate, uh
Daddy red face, yeah, daddy red face
Ending:
It's a party
Can you feel it?
It's controlling you
Do what you wanna do
It's a party
Can you feel the vibe?
It is bouncing you around now
Come shake my hand no feeling down now
It's a party
I just wanted to remind you
Oh, that I'm here for you
Just don't get lost for two, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooo, it's a party
Yeah, and now we're moving real fast
Come on and step up on the gas now
I want to go a little longer
Oh, it's a party
I'm nagging
My actions
Are lagging
I'm filled with
Distractions, uh
But this bottle's too good
I don't want to stop
I don't wanna stop
