From grandfather to grandson, this is not the way Our conversations and relationship should operate Before your questions, I'll put facts in their proper place I gave your pops a grave for bashing in your mama's face For putting bruises in spots that were not displayed Out in public, nobody would ever spot a trace And she defended him, saying it wasn't commonplace Like being knocked unconscious is something she should tolerate No My guess is that he just got impatient Expressed himself with a four-punch combination And as her father, I had one obligation Protect her, so now I had to uncomplicate it A good dad who's not known for violent reactions Can easily become a silent assassin Who will commit a heinous crime with a passion With no problem doing the time when they catch him He took away her smile and her confidence Replaced it with the black eyes you get in boxing gyms Nominated myself judge and chose a consequence I revoked his right to inhale oxygen For putting hands on my daughter He was just a lamb to be slaughtered I only had one demand in my offer Understand, it'll cost you First chance, last chance, sayonara He told me he'd never hurt her, he swore So I was out of words when I burst in the door Even though I had never shot a person before He was about to be the first, second, third, and the fourth At this point, I wouldn't let the Holy Spirit interfere As soon as I pulled the trigger, it was clear I wasn't near enough I missed, still I put that fear inside his ear But it was so loud I thought my hearing disappeared I was aiming to put a hole in his airway I practically saw his heart jump and his hair raise Then you crawled in the room and I was scared straight Shocked at how you even made it down the staircase I froze and he was gone without a breath I picked you up and started crying with regret My guilt was stabbing me in my chest The first lesson you almost learned from me was causing death And I still blame your pops for all that Your uncles told me where his side piece would hide him at I snuck in, saw him sleeping and I snapped Long story short, he got an extra five-hour nap For putting hands on my daughter He was just a lamb to be slaughtered I only had one demand in my offer Understand, it'll cost you First chance, last chance, sayonara In the trunk he went, for a thousand-mile ride Until the closest town was about a mile wide The clock was winding down, not a doubt in my mind So I stopped, there was not a soul around that I'd find Digging one ditch felt like I dug eight As soon as I threw him in, he lost his tough face I think he tried to say I'm sorry, I said tough break But then again, his words were muffled by the duct tape I told him it won't matter, pray to God or Lucifer 'Cause when you stomped out my baby girl, you weren't too concerned A bullet's easy, let this shovel take you to church These scoops of earth will make you one with the universe I know this is a lot, feel free to stop me And I wouldn't blame you if you and your mom forgot me I'm probably the grandpa you'd rather not meet Living in a studio apartment made of concrete But I didn't kill him, they told you a lie I did not kill him, between you and I He put his fist into her eye In my opinion, that's when he committed suicide For putting hands on my daughter For putting hands on my daughter For putting hands on my daughter For putting hands on my daughter
