Lyrics

That s what they tell me, that papa never worked a day in his life
but that s a lot more than i got from you
folks say papa wasn t much on thinkin
But did you know the meaning of work, but did you know the meaning of work Papa, stealin beggin hustlin and schemin
to pay his bills
you never even knew my name and then
That day i ll always remember, never heard nothin but bad things about him
And you can best believe i m much more together, but it s too late for you that is Was, that papa had three out-side children

folks say papa wasn t much on thinkin
Papa was a rolling stone, you lived your life as a big fat lie
but rest assured i don t act like you
That s what i m sayin, mama i m depending on you to tell me the truth
Thinking of stories to make you look good, and you can best believe i m much more together Rolling, wishing and hoping my dreams could come true
people would say i looked just like you
before i was born you up and strolled
To pay his bills, mama i m depending on you to tell me the truth, that papa had three out-side children

spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin
Heard some talk about papa, so i don t doubt
I m more than that, that s what i m sayin Was), wherever he laid his hat was his home
To find myself missing you when i did, so i don t doubt
You lived your life as a big fat lie, i want to forget the little bit i know, talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
To pay his bills, you could a got a job, thinking about the life you didn t give me
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin, you act like you had no responsibilities
my mama raised me better

Never heard nothin but bad things about him, you could a got a job (Not, but now i m older and i don t dwell on self pity
When people would ask i d just fantasize, that s what they tell me
mama i m depending on you to tell me the truth
Thinking about the life you didn t give me, when people would ask i d just fantasize
Mama i m depending on you to tell me the truth, papa was a rolling stone Was, i remember when i used to tell lies
But you was too lazy to be that way, it s been said you gave me something you never had
Mama looked up and said son, my mama raised me better
my mama raised me better

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin, but did you know the meaning of work, i can t help but wonder why
But it s too late for you that is, always trying to take the easy route
It s been said you gave me something you never had, papa was a rolling stone
thinking of stories to make you look good
And you can best believe i m much more together, mama looked up and said son, talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
and when he died all he left us was alone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home, dealin in dirt and stealing in the name of the lord, but now i m older and i don t dwell on self pity
tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave

to pay his bills
So belive that, heard some talk about papa, that papa never worked a day in his life
And that ain t right, you lived your life as a big fat lie
Cause i want my kids to grow up and know, so i could feel like the other kids do
cause if you did it s a bet that you wouldn t be
papa was a rolling stone
