The beat used for this song. You should listen to it if your not famaliar with it to get a better vibe to my song here. For my girl tawna. was her favorite song and I made a new version about her keeping the same rhyme scheme. On day we were just chillin listenin to some music and this song came on. I sang my version to her it was a crazy feeling hope you enjoy.
Original version lyrics
I can't, I won't, I can't, I won't
Let you leave
I don't know what you want
You want more from me?
So he said to him
"I want you to be a father
I'm your little boy and you don't even bother
Like "brother" without the R
And I'm starting to harbor
Cool and food for thought
But for you I'm a starver
Starting to use red markers on my work
My teacher say they know I'm much smarter
But I'm hurt
I used to hand my homework in first
Like I was the classroom starter
Burst to tears
Let them know he see us
Now I'm fighting in class
Got a note last week that say I might not pass
Kids ask me if my daddy is sick of us
Cause you ain't never pick me up
You see what my problem is?
That I don't know where my poppa is
No positive male role model
To play football and build railroad models
It's making a hole you've been digging it
Cause you ain't been kicking it
Since I was old enough to hold bottles
Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that
I don't deserve to get used to that
Now I ain't asking you for money or to come back to me
Some days it ain't sunny but it ain't so hard
Just breaks my heart
When my momma try to provide and I tell her 'That ain't your job'
To be a man, she try to make me understand
That she my number one fan
But its like you born from the stands
You know the world is out to get me, why don't you give me a chance?"
My version
I can't I won't I can't I won't
Let you leave,
I don't know what you want
So I just can't sleep,
I want you to make me a father,
Have a little boy, and every night I call her,
Like I'll call you tomorrow,
And I'm starting to harbor,
All these crazy thoughts
But for you I'm a starver,
Startin to run a bit farther from the Earth,
My teachers never said it'd get harder,
But now I'm hurt,
Used to always runnin in first,
But now I can't do it without my partner,
Burst in tears,
Where only the birds can see us,
Now I'm lyin in last,
Gotta float past me cause I'm not so fast,
Kids ask me if I love her much,
Cause I'ma always pick her up,
You see all this confidence,
Cause I know where my little mama is,
So obvious that we'll
Go where ever the last railroad follows,
You make me whole and I'm diggin it,
In the park kickin it,
Till it's dark enough to be tomorrow,
Didn't take long to get used to that,
How can I not be seduced by that,
Now I'm askin you my honey that when I come running,
We'll make everyday sunny and it ain't so hard,
Just take my heart,
Baby mama look in my eyes when I tell you this is your song,
I'm your man, just tryin to make you understand,
That this will never ever end,
Even when the lights seem so dim,
You know the worlds out to get us, so won't you give me your hand?
