Papa Song - Riky Rick

[Refrain (x10)]
Damn I miss my nigga, man

[Verse 1]
Homie I know just what it feels like
When you're feeling all alone
And your mommy is your daddy,
Cause your daddy never home
And you're looking at the phone, never rings, never ever
And it's your birthday and you're just hoping he remembered
It's your birthday and you ain't seen him since December
Momma told me he's the reason why I had a temper
Momma told me he's the reason why I never loved
But shit, I ain't trippin, I'm just part of the club
I know a million kids like me
I ain't trippin, one person never liked me
High school I used to borrow Michael Jordan gear
When I looked into the stands daddy wasn't there
Everytime I come home I keep my head down
I missed my whole childhood and daddy's dead now
So from this point you probably gotta hold your own
Momma told me when you're down you gotta soldier on

[Hook (x2)]
Back in the day when I was young,
I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Yeah, they say you gotta do what you can
(Damn I miss my nigga, man)

[Refrain (x9)]
Damn I miss my nigga, man

[Refrain 2]
Oh I miss my nigga man
Damn I miss my nigga, man
Damn I miss my nigga, man
Damn I miss my nigga, man

[Verse 2]
I miss you pops, we miss you pops
To tell the truth nobody cared if you were rich or not
All I wanted was daddy to hold me down
To ask me questions, they're saying my daddy never around
When you got sick, I think I got the feeling you died
But I never had the courage to cry
So now I'm at the bar, I'm thinking my life's done
Cause everything you know you meant to teach it to your son
And everything you know you meant to learn it from your daddy
Now I'm a drug addict, I'm wishing you never had me
I'm getting high so I ain't gotta feel down
It was just a game before but shit is real now
My girl left me, she said that I was too crazy
I fucked up, couldn't sober up for my baby (Eish!)
Damn I miss my nigga man
(Let me say that again, hold on,
Let me do it, let me say that again
Keep it going please
Okay, listen...)
My girl left me, she said I was too crazy
I fucked up, couldn't sober up for my baby
I'm hoping there's a heaven, please find him and chill with him
Cause me and his mommy couldn't keep it real with him
(Dawg! Damn I miss my nigga man,
Damn I miss my nigga man,
Damn I miss my nigga man)
If there's a heaven, please find him and chill with him
Cause me and his mommy couldn't keep it real with him

[Hook (x2)]
Back in the day when I was young,
I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Yeah, they say you gotta do what you can
(Damn I miss my nigga, man)

[Refrain (x3)]
Damn I miss my nigga man

[Outro]
It ain't your fault, we love you
It's just uh,
It's difficult when you feel like you need help becoming a man, you know?
And uh, we miss you pops
And uh, I hope you're out there seeing the things that we're doing and it's uhm,
Putting a smille on your face
If you see my little nigga up there
Tell him I love him and uh
We gon be there soon, it's possible
(Damn I miss my nigga man)
