Where Have You Been (Explicit)

Where Have You Been (Explicit Version) - Jay-Z/Beanie Sigel

Damn how am I say this sh*t

Hey hey dad yeah it's your boy

Remember me I wanna talk to you scrap

I remember being kicked out the house

Cause I looked just like you

Said I'd be nothing but a crook

Just like you

The niggaz in the hood was shook

Where the just like you

Cause all they said was little whitey look

I'm just like you

But dog I can't see it at all sh*t

We never kicked it at all

We never pitched or kicked at a ball

Dog you never taught me sh*t

How to fight ride a bike fix a flat

None of that sorts of sh*t

Ni**a you was an abusive pops

F**k you left me out to dry stuck

Gotta teach news to box

Gotta teach news to bop

And that ain't the half of it man

I gotta teach news to block

It's about time we have a father

To son ni**a sit down

Let me tell you

About your fatherless sons

How they grew to be men and father they sons

Father they daughters

Ni**a you left a fatherless daughter

I never follow your orders

Ni**a you make me sick

P**sy you could ooh

How you gonna leave

These memories in the back of my mind

I can see it clear as day you smackin my mom

I member that day you showed me that gat that 9

Put it in my palm when I was young

And said that would be mine you turned me out

The reason why I hit the block

Reason why I tried to hit them cops

Reason why I started hittin shots

Reason why I started gettin licked

And drinkin syrup and skippin court

Ginger bread man never think of gettin caught

Look at your hand man damn you fought

Ni**a you left my mom

Left us with no good-bye's

You left us out to dry

You left us with no letters notes

No replies

No digits numbers was unlisted

You left us with some of my loneliest night

Ni**a some of my hungriest nights

Sh*t one of the reasons for years sh*t embarrasin

Damn we used to think money was white

Yeah you gave us life like fruit from a plant

We eat right from them foods from them stamps

Man I gotta stop sh*t

Daddy Where Have You Been

And when you come home you got us here all alone

Mommy Where Daddy Went

You always stick up for him

Always said you'd make up for him

Mommy What Happened Then

What was you cheatin on him

Why he's always beatin' on you

Daddy Where Have You Been

Ni**a you gonna hear me out

I wanted to walk just like him remember

Wanted to talk just like him word

Often momma said I look too much

And I thought just like him

Wanted to drink Miller nips

And smoke Newports just like you

But you left me now I'm goin'

To court just like you

I would say my daddy loves me

And he'll never go away

Bullshit do you even remember

December's my birthday

Do you even remember the tender boy

You turned into a cold young man

With one goal and one plan

Get mommy out of some jam

She was always in one

Always short with the income

Always late with the rent

You said that you was comin through

I would stay in the hallway

Always playin the bench

And that day came and went

F**k You very much you showed me

The worst kind of pain

But I'm stronger and trust me

I will never hurt again

Will never ask mommy why daddy don't love me

Why is we so poor why is life so ugly

Mommy why is your eyes puffy

Please don't cry everything'll be alright

I know it's dark now

But we gon' see the light

It's us against the world

We don't need him right right

Mommy drivin 6's now yeah

I got riches now yeah

I bought I nice home for both

Of my sisters now

We doin real good

We don't miss you now

See how life twists around f**ker

Daddy Where Have You Been

And when you come home you got us here all alone

Mommy Where Daddy Went

You always stick up for him

Always said you'd make up for him

Mommy What Happened Then

What was you cheatin on him

Why he's always beatin' on you

Daddy Where Have You Been

Ni**a you gonna hear me out
