Run run away it's ok no need to bother All I need is my God my heavenly Father Was I not cute enough D'you ever see me as a baby Were you just too scared to stay and try to raise me Did my mom make you leave by not loving you right Did you almost turn around and come back that night When you see a boy with his dad do you feel the same way I do Or has the thought of me never even mattered to you Have you ever done a single thing that wasn't for yourself You used to like to beat my mom, what d'you run out of belts Were you scared I might grow up and not be shook of you son Was your father a coward too and he taught you how to run You know my little mom raised three boys all alone A stinkin' wet basement apartment was our home I grew up around scum my innocence was robbed Got expelled from school after school man I was lost I found a crew, we ran in the streets like a pack of dogs I was lyin' tellin' myself I was better off Hold me up, hold me up, I need you to hold me up Hold me up, hold me up, I need you to hold me up Hold me hold me up But the truth is my heart was covered in anger, danger No one taught me how to shave so I got other plans for my razor And as I'm standin' on the block while a cop's paddin' me down I wonder where I would be if my pops had just stayed around Sometimes at night I reflect on the cards that I was handed I can't begin to explain what it's like being abandoned I think of those two little guys sleepin' next door I'd give my whole life for them, you couldn't give a portion of yours And what if I would search for you, would you ignore me again Do you have another son that you love and protect I was that kid outside throwin' a ball against the wall Getting screamed on by a stressed out mom I was born humble on the wrong side of the tracks And now where I'm at, it's like I'm on glass and it's cracked To avoid slippin' back I cut off dudes from my past I try to make new friends but I can't relate to these cats On my own and You came to Hold me up, hold me up, I need you to hold me up Hold me up, hold me up, I need you to hold me up Hold me hold me up The first time I rode along without my training wheels Wind blowin' through my hair seein' how great it feels There was no one there to see it, no ones hand on my back No one to hear me crying on the ground when I crashed And I was scared to walk home from school as a kid They threw rocks at me 'cause of the color of my skin I still have nightmares of walkin' home in the dark No one to protect me tell me it's okay even though it's not And Christian school didn't help, I was thrown out and expelled So please forgive me if I keep to myself Worried about what others think, I'm not good enough To this day I still feel better with my hoodie up This girl made me feel loved so I married her Growing up this way showed me God's character 'Cause while this man didn't want me God was watchin' above me I see Him love me when my kids come runnin' to hug me Run run away it's ok no need to bother All I need is my God my heavenly Father
