Dc.Sir - 7 Hours lyrics

[Verse 1: Dc.Sir] And which is more you'll be a man my son So be a man my son Be the man my father never was Be the man that I could never be ‘cos I had never seen one growing up Nothing was given to me You see he was never there to show me love You'll understand when you become a man Just what it means to be a father See I've held newborns before and I just feel sure that I would be there for them I know your father wasn't there for you But my father wasn't there for me But that doesn't mean that my sons father will not be what he needs to be Was it easy to just get up and leave? Or easier to see us suffering? I went through plenty of that so bad I'm left mentally unstable Are you proud of the man that I've become? To your standards do I even pa** as one? Will I always be as depressed as this and end up just being a pessimist? Am I better off not settling down and instead just never developing out? A father figure is meant to represent that every things gonna work out But when did it turn to this I find it hard to breathe ‘Cos my hearts got nothing left to give and less than seven odd hours left to live At the very best [Hook: Sampled] All the flowers that you planted Mama In the backyard All died when you went away I know that living with ya baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try [Verse 2: Dc.Sir] (I go out every night) And the farther that I see it gets harder to be the father that I seek What am I tell my children about you? Should I tell them you're an alcoholic? Should I tell them that you would scream even after pleading for you to stop it? Should I let them know that I hated you? Or say you'll change just in case it's true? I'm so confused on what to do How do I follow an example like you? Should I say I don't know how to raise them? ‘Cos I was raised with such impatience Or should I make an exception and just forget it like none of this never happened? You're wondering how it got to this point You're an abusive drunk What'd you think? I've seen what that drug can do to people And some wonder why I don't drink I tell ‘em I have no need to But don't tell ‘em I don't wanna be you But maybe I should if it means I can see you because sometimes I really need you I can't do this on my own I can't get through this all alone 'N I feel lonely I feel cold 'N there's nowhere that I can go 'N then when depression set in and I got word you were suicidal And that you almost died too I was almost right behind you But I'm not like you No, not in the slightest [Hook: Sampled] All the flowers that you planted Mama In the backyard All died when you went away I know that living with ya baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try [Verse 3: Dc.Sir] Don't you get it man, what is so hard to see? What part of this are you missin'? There's not a thing you can say to make this right You've established your position See I'll never be your son again You're not present in my life, you're irrelevant Don't you remember when you said to me that you'd never leave? But now you won't see the birth of my children You won't see me marry my wife You won't see me grow to be a man and I won't be there when you die ‘Cos all that I can recall is violence all my life all I saw was fighting So I took to writing and found myself inside these rhymes But did you ever think what it did to Hayley? Now that gets me really hating you I've watched her cry on countless times Because of you, she's not alright And as far as your ex-wife goes She almost died it was so close Another palpitation and I swear she wouldn't have survived through the night And I would've lost both of my parents And you would've left us defenceless I'll never forget what you did to us or forgive through repentance I can't believe you would do this to me Why would you do this to me? God what are you doing to me? Stop what you're doing to me! f**! [Hook: Sampled] All the flowers that you planted Mama In the backyard All died when you went away I know that living with ya baby was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try [Outro: Sampled] Nothing compares to you
