My Old Man - Outlandish

And If I cry you say

Hold your head up high (hold your head up high)

Daddy used to struggle from the start

Never giving up

Always on the run a lot

Bring that money home

Saying boy don’t cry

No limit to the sky

Hold on, hold on to the rope

That’s our only hope

Lovers ain’t born they are made in wombs

Don’t you worry child

Life is but a ride

That’s what you taught me, papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

That’s what you taught me

That’s what you taught me

That’s what you taught me, papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

Baba, you left your mark on my heart

I feel it in my blood (in my blood)

You never left me

Baba, you left your mark on my heart

I feel it deep in my soul

I know you love me

Because you showed me, baba

Dear papa, should I slow down, papa?

Hold your hand like you used to hold mine, papa

Be the stick that you could hold on to, papa

You walk so gentle you used to walk like Mufasa

I hate losing my patience with you, papa

Did you ever lose yours with me, papa?

I know I do with your grandson

I just don’t hope what goes around comes Around

Cause that would be pretty bad news for me, papa

How you feeling?

Cause lately here’s been too many hospital visits for my liking

I guess that’s why I work out too much

You told me to carry my own weight

But first let me carry yours

Cause that what you taught me, papa

That’s what you taught me, papa

I know you love me, papa

And you don’t need to say

I see it in your face

That’s what you taught me

That’s what you taught me

That’s what you taught me, papa

And you don’t need to say

I see it in your face

Baba, you left your mark on my heart

I feel it in my blood (in my blood)

You never left me

Baba, you left your mark on my heart

I feel it deep in my soul

I know you love me

If they try (if they try)

If they try to shut you out stay by my side (stay by my side)

And If I cry (if I cry)

And If I cry you say

Hold your head up high (hold your head up high)

That’s what you taught me, papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

That’s what you taught me

That’s what you taught me

That’s what you taught me, papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

Baba, you left your mark on my heart (oh)

I feel it in my blood (in my blood)

You never left me

Baba, you left your mark on my heart

I feel it deep in my soul

I know you love me

Because you showed me, baba (I know you loved me, you showed me)

You left your mark on my heart (I feel, I feel)

You left your mark on my heart (you left your mark on my heart)

You left your mark on my heart (yeah)
