When Your Father Is Missing

[Intro]
There was this psychologist
A woman by the name of Frances Cress Welsing
She had a theory called "Unified Field Theory" of psychiatry
She believe that “American Descendant of Slaves” are in a crisis situation
By design of the dominant society
To purposely disconnect Black fathers from their families
This is done by empowering his woman and disenfranchising him at the same time
Making him feel no need to stay with the woman after producing children with her

[Hook]
When your fathеr.. father is missing
Trouble follows you wherе ever you go
The dope game.. the game called my name
Street fame came when I started moving rocks, weed, pills, and blow

[Verse 1]
It's crazy, who I grew up to be
Little niggas where I from? Now they look up to me
See, when I was a young boy, growing up in the ghetto
Pony down and Young Boys was in my ghetto
Didn't have a dad, didn't even have a step dad
Toxic masculinity, stupid fruity crazy swag
Gap toothed grin on an underworld player
Money like cake, stacked up by the layer
But I'm just overcompensating cause my father wasn't there
I'm old enough to know better, but I just don't care
Elester Roy Hollingsworth? I never met that nigga
But if I see him, face-to-face, I might wet that nigga

[Hook]
When your father.. father is missing
Trouble follows you where ever you go
The dope game.. the game called my name
Street fame came when I started moving rocks, weed, pills, and blow

[Verse 2]
I was about fifteen years old when it finally hit me
My father not dead or in jail he just don't want to be with me
Chaper fourteen of Iceberg Slim’s first book? I felt that shit
Rocks, blows, weed, pills? I dealt that shit
Detroit Westside, where grind to get paid
I’mma either set up shop with a dope spot, or put a thottie on the blade
Uzi's, AK’s, Glocks, revolvers and nines
In the land of single mothers and real man is hard to find
No jobs, just mobs with guns and drugs
My goons got goons and plugs got plug
But most of us didn’t have dads in our house
So don't ask us "what the fuck we mad about?”

[Outro]
A study using data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health explores the relationship between family structure and the risk of violent acts in a neighborhood
The results reveal that if the number of fathers is low in that neighborhood, then there’s an increased amount of violence in that neighborhood
The statistical data shows that a one percent increase of single parent families in that neighborhood is associated with a three percent increase in the amount of violence in that neighborhood

[Outro Hook]
When your father.. father is missing
Trouble follows you where ever you go
When your father.. father is missing
Trouble follows you where ever you go
