Nobody Ever Taught Me

[Intro]
Nobody ever taught me
Nobody ever taught me

[Verse 1]
Yeah, nobody ever taught me how to change a tire
How to use a monkey wrench or a pair of pliers
Nobody ever taught me how to change oil
I didn't learn a lot of things, ended up spoiled
Many skills they don't teach in school
My daddy wasn't around, so I felt like a fool
He was roaming the streets, he was breakin' the rules
So nobody ever taught me how to use tools
Nobody ever taught me how to work in the yard
It's really sad that things are the way that they are
It wasn't like my daddy didn't know, he decided not to show me
I use to be bitter, that's the old me
Didn't realize back then, feeling in the long run
I'm ignorant on my choices are wrong ones
And now I understand
Nobody taught me how to be a man

[Hook]
Nobody ever taught me, uh
Nobody ever taught me
Nobody ever taught me, uh yeah
Nobody ever taught me

[Verse 2]
Nobody ever taught me how to treat a woman
My judgement was cloudy, did things that I shouldn't now
Wish my dad would've taught me as I was looking to imagine having a daughter of my own
But I couldn't have nobody ever taught me
How to tie a tie
Homecoming, prom night, I'll make it by
I didn't know how to iron my clothes
I knew how to wash, but didn't know how to fold
Nobody ever taught me how to shave
Many days, I look like a man who lived in a cave
Man I feel stupid sometimes
I'm so clueless at times
Didn't realize back then, feeling in the long run
I'm ignorant on my choices are wrong ones
And now I understand
Nobody taught me how to be a man

[Hook]
Nobody ever taught me, uh
Nobody ever taught me
Nobody ever taught me, uh yeah
Nobody ever taught me

[Verse 3]
Nobody ever taught me how to grill
Only know how to cook a few things to keep it real
Nobody ever taught me how much money I should save
The Bible says "Whoever I'm indebted to, I'm a slave"
I just don't get it, fatherlessness is so wicked
God's grace is sufficient
Anything that's broke, He could fix it
You don't have to be the deadbeat that yo daddy was
No he didn't teach it, you can still be manly cause
God will be the dad, you never had
And all the skills that you lack, He got it in the bag
He'll send people in yo life for yo development
Making you strong, patient man who's intelligent
I hope you understand
That God made me a man, despite

[Hook]
Nobody ever taught me, uh yeah
Nobody ever taught me, Lord why
Nobody ever taught me, uh yeah
Nobody ever taught me
