What did I tell you about talking to me in this manner Dad stop What did I tell you about talking to me in this manner Dad please I am the man of this family Dad stop I deserve your respect Dad stop You owe me your submission Papa please Every story has a scar and every scar is a story His mama told me She told me of a loving father and a hurtful husband. A signatory, scribbling signs and signatures On the blank canvas of her skin And every stroke striking, resounded with a scream "Pleeeease Pleeeease' She told me of a boy who picked, pieced, stitched her pieces Together after every episode His mama was a broken canvas that his papa Never got tired of painting colors on His favorite colors were red and black Back to back he'd splash leaving her in the ash Watching his papa paint in the manner that he did Felt like a million knives stabbing through his heart As He was only a child standing on a mine Watching him; my father Paint colors on my mother; his wife In the manner that he did Felt like a million knives stabbing through my heart As I was only a child standing on mine Papa was indeed his fathers son. Till this day I'm frightened Of the thought of been called My father's son Where do you think the pain will go? Where do you think the hate will go? Took its root inside of me Darkness sipped in And began to spread We have become the monsters you have made Those cruel words put my mind in chain I still hear her voice I still scream for help I still hear her voice I still scream for help Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Oh papa set me free Don't hit her Strange is the circle of life Strange Is the circle of life Passed down from fathers to sons Strange is the circle of lies Who told you, you can beat her into submission? Strange is the circle of lies Strange is the circle of lies Passed down from mothers to daughters Strange is the cycle of life Who told you submission is equivalent to slavery Strange is the circle of lies Strange is the circle of lies Who told you, you must be your father's son Strange is the circle of life
