He Say She Say

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

She said to him, "I want you to be a father

He's your little boy and you don't even bother

Like 'Brother' without the R and he's starting to harbor

Cool and food for thought but for you he's a starver?

?Starting to use red markers on his work

His teacher say they know he's much smarter but he's hurt

Used to hand his homework in first

Like he was the classroom starter?

?Burst to tears, let them know she see us

Now he's fighting in class

Got a note last week that say he might not pass

Ask me if his daddy was sick of us

'Cause you ain't never pick him up?

?You see what his problem is

He don't know where his poppa is

No positive male role model

To play football and build railroad models?

?He's making a hole, you've been digging it

'Cause you ain't been kicking it

Since he was old enough to hold bottles

Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that

He 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 I try to provide

And he say, 'Mommy, that ain't your job'?

To be a man, I try to make him understand

That I'm his number one fan

But it's like he born from the stands

You know the world is out to get him

So why don't you give him a chance??

I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave

Now, now, 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?

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

?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 it's like you born from the stands

You know the world is out to get me

Why don't you give me a chance?"

It's like, I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave

Now, now, I don't know what you want

You want more from me

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

I can't, I won't, I can't

I won't let you leave
