Son Of A
Legacy of Love: Embracing the Son of A Momma, Son of A Dad
Lyrics
I called him everything under the sun
I expressed anger or frustration towards him using various harsh words.
Kinda under my breath and when I was done
My comments were muttered quietly, perhaps not intended for him to hear.
I slammed my bedroom door
I forcefully closed my bedroom door in response to the situation.
Did some stomping around on my bedroom floor
I engaged in agitated movements on my bedroom floor.
Dad walked in, no knock, no grace
My father entered the room without warning or politeness.
Said if you think I walked in like I own this place
He asserted his authority, stating that his behavior was justified because he owns the place.
Boy, it's 'cause I do
He emphasized his ownership of the space.
And I've got some things I wanna call you too
He intends to express his feelings towards me as well.
You're a son of a momma
I am being referred to as the offspring of a mother.
You're a son of a dad
I am being referred to as the offspring of a father.
Who will never stop loving you and being there
My parents will always love and support me unconditionally.
And giving you everything they have
They will provide me with everything they have.
Someday you're gonna get it boy
At some point, I will understand and acknowledge this fact.
You'll admit it boy
I will eventually realize and admit this truth, similar to my father's experience.
Just like I did with my old man
Just like I did with my own father in the past.
You're a son of a momma, a son of a dad
I am the product of both a mother and a father who genuinely care.
Who give a damn
They genuinely care about me.
He took the keys to my new used car
He took control of my newly acquired used car.
Pulled the "long as you're living under my roof" card
He asserted his authority using the classic "living under my roof" argument.
I always hated what he called tough love
I disliked his approach to tough love, but now I appreciate it.
But now I thank the good Lord above
I am grateful for the lessons learned through tough love.
I'm a son of a momma
I am the offspring of a mother.
A son of a dad
I am the offspring of a father.
Who will never stop loving me and being there
My parents will always love and support me unconditionally.
And giving me everything they have
They will provide me with everything they have.
Let me tell you that I get it now
I now understand and acknowledge this fact.
I'll admit it now
I admit and recognize why I am the person I am today.
Why I am the man I am
I understand the influence of my parents in shaping who I am.
I'm the son of a momma, a son of a dad
I am the product of both a mother and a father who genuinely care.
Who give a damn
They genuinely care about me.
These days keeping it together for forever is a dying breed
Maintaining a stable family for a lifetime is becoming rare.
Now I know why my broken home buddies call me
My friends from broken homes consider me fortunate.
A lucky S.O.B.
I am seen as a lucky "son of a [expletive]."
I'm a son of a momma
I am the offspring of a mother.
A son of a dad
I am the offspring of a father.
Who will never stop loving me and being there
My parents will always love and support me unconditionally.
And giving me everything they have
They will provide me with everything they have.
Let me tell you that I get it now
I now understand and acknowledge this fact.
I'll admit it now
I admit and recognize why I am the person I am today.
Why I am the way I am
I understand the influence of my parents in shaping who I am.
I'm the son of a momma, a son of a dad
I am the product of both a mother and a father who genuinely care.
Who give a damn
They genuinely care about me.
Yeah, I'm a son of a momma, a son of a dad
I am proud to be the offspring of a mother and a father who genuinely care.
Who give a damn
They genuinely care about me.
