Daddy Likes Apples
E-Bomber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I needed was some hope
Pride and a dream
Always hearing negatives
It made me wanna scream

Then they wonder why
I'm always drinking lean
I'm tryna take the pain away
And liquor change the scene

Can't be my own man
Cursed by my genes
Broke without a job
So I turned to stinging feins

You just like ya pops
Fuck does that mean
I was raising daughters
Before I turned 17

Never had a childhood
Yet they call me childish
Hand me down clothes
Back then I wasn't stylish

Started skipping school
I was getting into wild shit
Nights without food
How the hell im gone survive this

All I wanted was to make it out
Still in high school living in a vacant house

Hoping for another day
Wit a gun to my head like take it all away

Nigga You ain't Shit
You daddy and ya mom and Shit
And you just like them
You gone be in jail like ya daddy
You gone be in jail like ya daddy

Nigga you ain't shit
I seen back when you was a kid
Always knew you was a bitch
You gone be in jail like ya daddy
You gone be in jail like ya daddy

Staring at these walls
Thinking they was right
Now it's long days
Even longer nights

Nothing ever fair
Under them bright lights
How I get the one lawyer
That ain't wanna fight

Thinking bout my daughter
Only thing that keep me strong
Can't let me see me Cry
So my showers dumb long

Hearing all these voices
Wishing I proved me wrong
Visits with my dad
He telling me hold on

How the fuck I get here
They never cut me slack
If I make it out I swear
I'm never coming back

I'll the friends I had
Where the fuck they at
I guess it's outta sight outta mind
All Faxx

Never was one to pray
But I'm praying now
Lord forgive me for my sins
Can you hear me now

Never trusted people
Cause they let me down h
Even my mother left
So who would stay around

Nigga You ain't Shit
You daddy and ya mom and Shit
And you just like them
You gone be in jail like ya daddy
You gone be in jail like ya daddy

Nigga you ain't shit
I seen back when you was a kid
Always knew you was a bitch




You gone be in jail like ya daddy
You gone be in jail like ya daddy
