lyrics
(Kronkite)
/Walk in to the toy store, Dad says/ “What you want toys for? Looking like a toy whore.”/But never kicking and screaming, on the Maury show/ Ah, more we go, just to show, just to browse/ Just to graze like we cows/ Looking for feed indeed to get back to the house/Looking like we were ram shacked by a rat or a mouse/ Attack on the spouse, home fights without winning/ Cut the scene without the drama, but no ending/ I witness intolerance following these protagonists/ Yell what I love like a devil’s advocate/ So I quick joking till the moment is broken/ And then I say a smart line to the person who broke it/ Jump on stage, then choke on the moment/ And then I blame it on my friends, say they the ones who sold it/ I just wanted normal, occasionally formal/ Father of the year, who ain’t hormonal/ Maybe a mother, who ain’t choking on crack/ Maybe a new brother who ain’t witness all that/ Nah, my bad, I take that back/ I’m only 13, I’d much rather them hurt me/
(Crocker)
/As a child I was maladjusted/ Little bit of mouth, man I had some gumption/ Thinking all that I needed was a dad to function/ Mad impulsiveness, might spaz at functions/ Poppa was a rolling stone, my uncle, he was rolling stones/ Up till bed, I'd hold the phone, do my best to hold my own/ My step-mother would beef with me, 10 years old, she would beef with me/ My mother was the only thing she would see in me/ Thought Mom was seeing Dad again, at Christmas to get back at him/ Exchanged my presents at the store, proceeded then to laugh at him/ Picked me up alone one time, and it became an issue/ Dad tells me to grab my bag, my toothbrush, and my tissue/ This bitch starts to whiling out, proceeds to pull a pistol/ Waved in my father's face, screaming, "i'm gon' kill you”/
