Bothered

I'm bothered Ia m bothered by boys who say they have fathers, These fathers live in the same home and these fathers don't bother To check on these boys and the boys say don't care They don't care But If they don't care then that will be cool Then they'll have a story to tell and that will be cool They are hiding it and really crying for their father to bother Cause life is harder without that father So I cry out to my father who formed them in the womb And some are babied by mamas like they still in the womb Cause if fathers was here they'll be like "boy clean up your room" See what I am saying... But yet these teens are stuck in a tomb, not able to mature, Their life stinks like manure Who's gon teach them that life is a tour, we are on active duty Some know there's more but they're hurt and sore, looking for just an a open door, who they really can be, the man a man, just some identity Really you see God, you form them then why aren't they with father who bothers Some wish they where bother by legacy of honor By a father who was martyred. The ocean can't tell you how many waves went by But the wave can tell how many oceans it's ride, It's rode streams til the well went dry, Life is hard and long like Houston to Beijing And that son's story that bothers Who don't know his father it's harder for his mom to stay clean In the classroom he daydreams About a better life I'm just saying what I know, you feel me I know a kid who doesn't know his father So I bother to teach him about the carver, Who's purpose driven and not a parker, And let him know he outta be somebody great to run the race and not a squatter So harder it's going to get, and get and larger (pause) Boulders are going to fit in the path but I can be like Coach Carter, Teach him to be wiser and smarter, Encouraged by the potter You started off with pressures that's hotter Then most but God's not just here to spot ya but bother You til one day you're a great father. You know what he told me? Nothing But I remember having wet buttons. (shirt) So I said nothing. Then he look into the future and many roads seemed grey. He saw a narrow road with light and knew that was the way So I prayed and he prayed. Seeing the arrows given directions. begin walking the path with protection. The man on one side The fan on the other The fan me was me, i was just his brother And the man the Man of God, the Son of God Couldn't be nothing but God So if you was once like me thinking, "it ain't your business." You probably thought, "Why should I get in this?" "Why should I ask?" "Why should I bother?" I'm here to let you know you otta Cause she is wanting her father And if she can't get this then she'll take any father Someone who can make her feel like a daughter There's many tutors but not a enough fathers Someone who can help him charter The many storm, carry to the next stage, charter We know the fiery darts are coming, lava She wants to grow to a butterfly from the lava The fatherless could energize, java Get them connect like the internet, java Til we are all back with the father
