Transparent Lyrics by Crescent Moon

The Shopkeeper’s Wife EP

2003

[Intro]
Yo, what's up, y'all? This is Crescent Moon, I'm chilling with Anatomy, Sean from Test Type Trio, gonna put it down for all y'all broke ass fathers, aight? Yeah
[Hook]
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass fathers in our life
If I see you on the street, I promise you I won't look twice
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass fathers in our life
You gotta get it together, baby, you're gonna pay the price
[Verse 1]
Hey pops, how you doing? Just trying to live?
Guess I never really knew you like I thought I did
Thought you wouldn't stop the fire til I crossed the bridge
Burn it down with me on it, now you lost a kid
God forbid you commit and help to raise your seed
You made your bed, now I hope you lay awake for weeks
Thinking bout life and how you play the sheep
You ain't a man or father or even a faded memory
I hope you're making music and you're painting
I'm just another one of your creations
I hope someday you rich and famous
Drowning in your money that wasn't worth my payments
You were my age, had your whole life in front of you
So what you running from, daddy, where you running to?
Taught me bout love how you run past
Spread none, get none, funny how that comes back
[Hook]
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass fathers in our life
You must have a heart of clay and blood inside you cold as ice
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass fathers in our life
You gotta get it together, baby, you're gonna pay the price
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you keep a knocking but you can't come in
I don't talk to strangers or call em my friend
What is that, a grin? Erase your smile
At least now, I know how not to raise a child
Remember how it feels to be an adolescent?
All vulnerable, then have your home hit with a wrecking ball
Nowhere to go, but my mother is incredible
Ain't my fault children didn't fit into your schedule
You always said I understand when I got older
I understand now, you're simply not a soldier
I was there when she needed somebody to hold her
Think this shit's a game? You think you're playing poker?
Well I'ma straight flush everything you ever told me
And memories of crying in my bedroom lonely
I got a billion questions, I'll ask you one:
What's a universe without a son? Now I'm done, like
[Hook]
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass fathers in our life
You weren't there to catch me when I slipped and fell through the thin ice
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass papas who don't bother
See, you ain't got no son and I ain't got no father
[Bridge]
Say "Amen" if your pops didn't pay rent
Tried to cover it up, couldn't say shit
Let me get a "Ho" if your daddy's always broke
In the worst way and they still think it's your birthday
Let me get an "Oh yeah"
If your pops ain't doing too well and you don't care
Now, let me get a round of applause
For the mothers that be handling they business, down for the cause
Like that y'all, like that y'all
Like that y'all, like that y'all
Like that y'all, like that y'all
Like that y'all, like that y'all
[Hook]
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass fathers in our life
If I see you on the street, I promise you I won't look twice
We don't need no motherfucking broke ass papas who don't bother
See, you ain't got no son and I ain't got no father
You ain't got no son and I ain't got no father
See, you ain't got no son and I ain't got no father
