Father Figure - Damien

Yeah, I’m that rapper from your city

With my mind in the sky, and the attitude is gritty

Just trying to make million, before the new millennium

The way is irrelevant, I’ll even sell my kidney

I’ll constantly talk about how I’m gonna make it

When I take off as rocket with a label in my pocket

And I’m never being modest, when I call myself a prophet

By the end of next week I’ll be spotted in a spaceship

(Good gracious), I’m gettin' famous

And my mama she told me I’m amazing

No debating, I’m practically the greatest

But for now I’m all about a day job and my payments

'Cause my shit’s great, so at this rate

I’ll get my big pay, just by selling mixtapes

'Cause I see more bars than an inmate

And fans are in my yard like I was selling milkshake

Day after day, slowly paving the way

Keep on grinding and climbing 'cause you know I ain’t no quitter

Breaking away and it’s safely to say

I gotta build a foundation of patience and be a father figure

Do I rap for the likes, or do I even like rap

Or am I just addicted like a drunkard with his night cap

Or am I dreaming like a fat chick dream of thigh gaps

Or am I just easy to sidetrack

I’m fast like a motherfuckin' flash when I dash on the tracks

And I crash like a blast from the past

Mastered the magic of ratchedy rapping the baddest of rappers what happened

with that

Well guess I’m living in a bubble

That I’m bulging with my muscles and really like to rumble

And people with real problems ridicule my struggles

Try being white and cripwalk and never tumble

They tell me to reconsider and see the larger picture

That I was never meant for the stars and glitter

That I should stop dressing like a Harlem wigger

Drive my station wagon and be a father figure

Day after day, slowly paving the way

Keep on grinding and climbing 'cause you know I ain’t no quitter

Breaking away and it’s safely to say

I gotta build a foundation of patience and be a father figure
