[Intro] Bbm/Db Ab/C Bbm You really need some therapy Ab/C Real n*gga need no therapy,
f*ck you talkin' about?
Bbm/Db Nah, nah, you sound stupid as f*ck
Ab/C s*it, everybody stupid Yeah, well, you need to
Bbm/Db
Talk to somebody
Ab/C Bbm7 Reach out to Eckhart [Verse]
I come from a generation of
Gmaj7
Home invasions and
I got daddy issues,
F#m
that's on me
Everything them four walls
Had taught me,
Made habits bury deep
Gmaj7 That man knew a lot,
But not enough to
F#m
Keep me past them streets
My life is a plot,
N.C.
Twisted from directions that
I can't see
Gmaj7 Daddy issues ball
F#m
Across my head,
Told me, "f*ck a foul"
Em I'm teary-eyed,
Bm
Wanna throw my hands,
I won't think out loud
Gmaj7 A foolish pride,
F#m
If I lose again,
Won't go in the house
Em I stayed outside, laughin'
Bm
With my friends,
They don't know my lifе
Gmaj7 Daddy issues
F#m
Made me lеarn losses,
I don't take those well
Em Momma said,
Bm
"That boy is exhausted,
" He said, "Go f*ck yourself
Gmaj7 If he give up now,
F#m
That's gon' cost him,
Life's a b*tch
Em You could be a b*tch or
Bm
Step out the margin",
I got up quick
Bbmb5 I'm chargin' baskets and
Bm
Falling backwards,
Tryna keep balance
C#mb5 Oh, this the part where
D
Mental stability meets talent
Bbmb5 Oh, this the part, he breaks
Bm
My humility just for practice
C#mb5 Tactics we learned together,
D
Sore losers forever,
Gmaj7
Daddy issues [Chorus]
Gmaj7 Early mornin' wake-ups,
F#m
Practicin' on day-offs
Em Bm Tough love, bottled up, no chaser
Gmaj7 F#m Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser
Em Bm Neat, no chaser, neat, no chase
Gmaj7 Early mornin' wake-ups,
F#m
Practicin' on day-offs
Em Bm Tough love, bottled up, no chaser
Gmaj7 F#m Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser
Em Bm Gmaj7 Neat, no chaser, neat, no chaser
[Verse]
N.C. I got daddy issues,
That's on me
Em Lookin' for, "I love you,
Bm
" rarely empathizin'
For my relief
Gmaj7 A child that grew accustomed,
F#m
Jumping up when
I scraped my knee
Em 'Cause if I cried about it,
Bm
He'd surely tell me
not to be weak
Bbmb5 Daddy issues,
Bm
Hid my emotions,
Never expressed myself
C#mb5 Men should never show feelings,
D
Being sensitive never helped
Bbmb5 His momma died,
I asked him why
Bm
He goin' back to work so soon?
C#mb5 His first reply was,
D
"Son, that's life,
The bills got no silver spoon"
Gmaj7 F#m Daddy issues, f*ck everybody,
Go get your money, son
Em Bm Protect yourself, trust nobody,
only your momma'n'em
Gmaj7 F#m This made relationships seem cloudy,
never attached to none
Em Bm So if you took some likings around me,
I might reject the love
Gmaj7 F#m Daddy issues kept me competitive,
That's a fact, n*gga
Em I don't give a f*ck
Bm
What's the narrative,
I am that n*gga
Gmaj7 F#m When Kanye got back with Drake,
I was slightly confused
Em Bm Guess I'm not mature as I think,
Got some healin' to do
Gmaj7 Egotistic, zero-given
F#m
f*cks and to be specific
Em Need assistance with the way
Bm
I was brought up
What's the difference when
Gmaj7
Your heart is made of stone
F#m And your mind is made of gold
Em And your tongue is made of sword,
Bm
But it may weaken your soul?
Gmaj7 My n*ggas ain't got no daddy,
F#m
Grow up overcompensatin'
Em Learn s*it 'bout bein' a man and
Bm
Disguise it as bein' gangsta
Gmaj7 I love my father for tellin'
F#m
Me to take off the gloves
Em 'Cause everything
He didn't want
N.C.
Was everything I was
Bbmb5 And to my partners that figured it
Bm
Out without a father
C#mb5 I salute you, may
Your blessings be
D
Neutral to your toddlers
Bbmb5 It's crucial,
They can't stop us if
Bm
We see the mistakes
C#mb5 'Til then, let's give the
N.C.
Women a break,
Grown men with daddy issues
Gmaj7 F#m
Gmaj7 F#m [Chorus]
Gmaj7 Early mornin' wake-ups,
Practicin' on day-offs
F#m Tough love, bottled up,
No chaser
Gmaj7 Neat, no chaser, neat,
No chaser
F#m Neat, no chaser, neat,
No chaser
