I've got some things to say, oh
Please don't go, oh
So don't you turn away, oh
Please don't go, oh
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so
My daddy left me, and he ain't even die
So when he did go, I ain't even cry
I had reason, but that ain't even why
How could he have failed if he ain't even try
I ask no questions, I ain't even pry
Truthfully I wanted to, I can't even lie
Like a canceled flight, that ain't even fly
To just walk away, like you ain't even my
Like, like, like I ain't even your
I cant even say it, I ain't even sure
He shoulda gave me everything and left me even more
But he left me without saying what he was leavin' for
And that's when I became a man (became a man)
And that's the day he stopped bein' one (bein' on)
This year I became a father (father)
And I'm a die bein' one, what's up son?
I've got some things to say, oh
Please don't go, oh
So don't you turn away, oh
Please don't go, oh
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so
I have nightmares of me not bein' 'round
He took his first steps and daddy couldn't be in town
Daddy's entertainin' everybody
But missed out when it came to trainin' for the potty
I give a fuck about hip-hops new beef
I was more excited when my son grew teeth
So I seem the problem
Of the fame and stardom
Just like Em and Haily
Just like Game and Harlem
Weezy's at the awards with Miss. Carter
Nah, not his date, I'm talkin' 'bout his daughter (his daughter)
Now that's stuntin' like your daddy
'Cause its crazy when you wanna be nothin' like your daddy
And if you never been a man (a man)
That's the day you start bein' one (start bein' one)
This year I became a father
And I'm a die bein' one, what's up son?
I've got some things to say, oh
Please don't go, oh
So don't you turn away, oh
Please don't go, oh
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so
So hear the truth remain to let me go
I won't hold that against you, I moved on
Just look what I become since you've been gone
Now don't you turn away, oh, please don't go
Here's what I got to say, oh
Please don't go
Oh, why'd you go away, oh
Please don't go
I needed you here to stay, oh
Please don't go
I can't believe this pain, no
Please don't go
I've got some things to say, oh
Please don't go, oh
So don't you turn away, oh
Please don't go, oh
I need you here to stay, I
Miss you so
Why did you leave me?
Tell me why you don't care?
Daddy, tell me why did you leave me?
Why you don't care?
Tell me why did you leave me?
Daddy, tell me why you weren't there?
Why did you leave me?
