Daddy Lyrics by Lafawndah

Ancestor Boy

2019

[Verse 1]
I took your lips so I can kiss you
Upside down, upside down
I got your eyes, the same shadows
They go like low echoes of yours
I touch your nose so I can kid you
Ooh, dada, ooh, dada
I have your hair but I made a wish
That chip on your shoulder will not be mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear eats the soul, leaves a flavour
You don't know what's left inside
Fear eats the soul, leaves a flavour
You don't know what's left inside

[Chorus]
Daddy didn't tell you, he didn't know
Mama couldn't tell you but it's time to know
Now is the time, now is the time for you to know
Daddy didn't tell you, he didn't know
Mama couldn't tell you but it's time to know
Now is the time, now is the time for you to know

[Verse 2]
I pick a piece, the rest, I write it off
I write it off, I write it off
I can only be the best of you, the rest
I write it off, I write it off

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear eats the soul, leaves a flavour
You don't know what's left inside
Fear eats the soul, leaves a flavour
You don't know what's left inside

[Chorus]
Daddy didn't tell you, he didn't know
Mama couldn't tell you but it's time to know (It's time to know)
Now is the time, now is the time for you to know

[Bridge]
The rhythm on my mind, I mould it
Ooh, da, ooh, dada
The untold tale running in my head
Ooh, da, ooh, dada
The rhythm on my mind, I mould it
Ooh, da, ooh, dada
I'm leaving you behind, unfolded
Ooh, da, ooh, dada (Ooh)

[Chorus]
Daddy didn't tell you, he didn't know
Mama couldn't tell you but it's time to know
Now is the time, now is the time for you to know
Daddy didn't tell you, he didn't know
Mama couldn't tell you but it's time to know
Now is the time, now is the time for you to know
