| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing | 
| Nobody was there to even listen | 
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah, yeah | 
| And I put the blame on me | 
| I put the blame on me, yeah | 
| I put the blame on me | 
| Only 10 years old | 
| I’m already numb, yeah, my heart’s getting cold | 
| Saw my mama getting weaker, hurt me to my soul | 
| The only man she loved, how could he do this to his girl? | 
| He put that pistol to her head, I swear he could’ve shot her dead | 
| Man, that liquor made him evil | 
| I swear that man ain’t have no reason | 
| That shit just turned him to a demon, yeah | 
| Fast forward a couple years, I done turned 12 | 
| Living life one hell to the next hell | 
| I got cousins touching me inappropriately | 
| And don’t nobody believe me when I tell | 
| When you learn that your heroes ain’t no one to look up to | 
| And the same people hurting you telling you they love you | 
| Before too long, you start believing | 
| That maybe you’re the reason, yeah | 
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing | 
| Nobody was there to even listen | 
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah, yeah | 
| And I put the blame on me | 
| I put the blame on me, yeah | 
| I put the blame on me | 
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing | 
| Nobody was there to even listen | 
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah, yeah |

| New drama, but I really ain’t new to it | 
| Hear 'em laughing at lunchtime and I’m the joke | 
| Black and white, was too black for the white folks | 
| I can’t do nothing 'bout my face, feeling all out of place | 
| Over something I can’t control | 
| Fuck is wrong with these people? | 
| Or is it something wrong with me though? | 
| Yeah | 
| Age 16, life’s still mean | 
| Mama fell hard, needed rescuing | 
| She got a new man, he told her simply | 
| She could stay with him long as she don’t bring me | 
| I guess she had to make a choice, did what she had to do | 
| Chose him over her own kid | 
| I don’t know what would make her do this | 
| Gotta be something I did, ooh | 
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing (Ayy) | 
| Nobody was there to even listen (Yeah, yeah) |

| I was homeless 'til I turned 18 | 
| Started living with a man I was dating | 
| Last thing on my mind was graduating | 
| All about survival and money-making | 
| I would sing to escape my reality | 
| Just tryna play the cards God dealt me | 
| Posted myself singing a song 'cause it was on my heart | 
| When it went viral, I was working in Walmart (Ayy) | 
| I got a new start | 
| Taking my pain, turning it into art | 
| Turning bad times into hot sounds | 
| For the first time, I’m where I belong (Ayy, yeah, yeah) | 
| 20 now | 
| Making moves, making money now | 
| Rainy days hella sunny now | 
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing (Ayy) |
