I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it
Read all about it
ohhhh
Nothing to hide
stifle and smother
suffered and cried
Strife made me tougher
never mumbled or shy to
the trouble I rise
above all
expectations forget rep
Ain't never begged yet
when I wanted to get
pence hustle
to be I'm exactly
what my neck says
Saying I tried to cash in
on my Dad's death
I wanted to vent 'stead
I said nothing at all
After all you were
never kin to me
family is something
that you'd never
been to me
In fact making it harder
for me to see my father
was the only thing
that you ever did for me
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it
Read all about it
Ohhhh
Ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh
Yeah dad as a kid
I looked up to you the
only thing was I never
saw enough of you
Last thing I said to you
was I hated you
I loved you but now
it's too late
to say it to you
Just didn't know
what to do or
how to deal with it
even now deep down
I still live it
To think I used to
blame me I wondered
what I did to you
to make you hate me
I wasn't even five
life's a journey and mine
wasn't an easy ride
you never even got
to see me rap
I just wish you
woulda reached out
I wish you woulda
been round
when I been down
I wish that you could
see me now
wherever you are
I really hope
you find peace
But I know that if
I ever have kids
unlike you I'll never
let them be without me
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it
Read all about it
ohhhh
I write songs
I can't listen to
everything I have
I give to you
Every one of these lines
I sing to you
My job's more like
public service
My life just became
yours to read
and interpret
If you heard it
it'd come across
a little different at times
I throw fits when I read
how they word things
You see me smile
now you're gonna
have to see me hurtin'
Coz pretending
everything is alright
when it ain't really
isn't working
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it
Read all about it
ohhh
I ain't censoring
myself for nobody
I'm the only thing
I can be
All that is good
All that is bad
All that is
me
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out
So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it
Read all about it
ohhhh
