What Now
What Is it you want
To take from me now
Why do you always kick me
When I am down
What is it you need
That you don't already have
I've given you everything
Done all that I can
What is it you seek
From my empty pockets
I'm down to pennies
My moves must be cautious
What is it you hate
About your son's father so badly
I am a good dad
But you keep taking shots at me
What is it you like
About seeing me struggle
You added a deck to my stack
Now it's hard to shuffle
What is it you think
Your gonna get from me
Our son has a good father
But you see me unworthy
What is it your doing
I won't give up it's a fact
Your not winning at all
You cant burry this dad
