I wonder if you wonder why I'm living on my own...
Wonder if you wonder why your mother sleeps alone...
She said you asked, “Where my daddy at?  When is he gon' come back home?”
Kisha, let me tell her why it’s this way...hold on
We were unplanned parents...that unplanned marriage
No ceremony, no horse, no carriage
That wedding broke me...one and half carats
You used to brag about it but now you don't even wear it
But I'm to blame...now mama's telling my I'm insane
Disgusting how quickly niggas can change 
When all you wanted was love, all I gave you was pain,
Fistful of tears...nothing compares to Purple Rain...in June
Ima try to keep this PG...Oklahoma City to LA...Baltimore to Atlanta...Atlanta back up to DC
Rendez-vous's at Ramada's...pretending I was at conferences working but you knew, really 
I was doing dirt...state of mind was filthy
You could smell on my shirt...tried to hide my Achilles 
Heel...didn't work.  Always knew deep inside  
Sooner than later you'd be saying goodbye 
Especially when your sister saw me at the wrong place...the wrong time
Looking guiltier than cocaine in white lines 
I was looking for the left lane, the right lie 
Shoulda hit a tank propane...and just died 
But I lived to see how the story would play out
Was evident we wouldn’t be residents in the same house 
Intelligent enough to know what the evidence showed 
And that all of it counts and goes against anything I could say now
It feeds into the fact that I painted the picture
That hangs in my apartment on weekends when I’m with ya 
Wishing I had half the heart...to right all the wrongs 
That pushed us apart...damn...but daddy’s got some

David killed Goliath,
Uriah...I did the same
And couldn't stand the reign
...I’ll try to fight the

I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
I wonder, sometimes, if I'm still your hero
