Its hard growin up without a father
No one to teach you the things hes suppose to teach ya
You gotta do it on your own
You gotta learn right from wrong
You gotta learn things that your momma cant teach ya
You gotta learn to fight
Learn to play ball
Learn a mans life
All on your own
Its tough on the heart
Even tho you try to deny it
You gotta show strength
So you choose to hide it
You ask yourself why didn't he want you
Why didn't he care enough to stay with you
He left when you were to young to understand
But you understand now that you're a man
You survived without him then and you'll survive without him now
Cuz you've gotten thru so many things even when you didn't kno how
You've learned how to drive, learned about dates, you even taught yourself to shave
And you'll get thru so much more without him
You'll go to college, marry a beautiful wife
And theres nothing he can teach you, not no more
Cuz you'll be a better father and stay in you're kids life
