Another City
Heartbreak Symphony: A Father's Pain in Another City
Lyrics
Just last week my girl up and moved to another city
Expressing recent separation as the speaker's partner moved to another city.
If she knew that she would do this to me why'd she have a baby with me
Questioning the decision to have a child together if the partner knew they would part ways.
This ain't just our lives girl. It's deeper than that
Stating that their lives together are more profound than individual experiences.
This ain't just another verse girl, It's deeper than rap
Emphasizing the significance of the current situation beyond a typical song verse.
But fuck love, fuck you, and your treasonous ass
Expressing anger and betrayal, rejecting love and addressing the partner's betrayal.
You'll never catch me stressing. I just roll trees and laugh
Choosing not to be stressed and finding solace in smoking and laughter.
But all this pain you caused got me flowing like a burst pipe
Describing emotional pain caused by the partner, comparing it to a burst pipe.
This ain't even the first time. Swear you the fucking worst type
Indicating that the partner's actions are not a one-time occurrence and labeling them as the worst type.
I lowered down my guard. Let you stare into my third eye
Opening up emotionally, mentioning vulnerability by letting the partner see their true self.
Now tears falling on my phone as I'm trying to get these words typed
Depicting the emotional struggle of typing words while crying over the situation.
Yeah, I been known to act wild off the liquor and them addys
Acknowledging past reckless behavior fueled by alcohol and drugs.
But have you googled the statistics on girls raised without daddies
Highlighting the negative impact of the absence of a father figure on girls statistically.
I smile her smile, I miss her fat cheeks, every time I had her laughing
Recalling fond memories of the child's laughter and expressing longing for those moments.
Are you forgetting that she's half me? Won't be long til she grows savvy
Reminding the partner that the child is a part of both parents and will become savvy to the situation.
To the way that you attack me and the way that you abuse me
Describing the partner's harmful actions and manipulation tactics.
And the tactics you are using so her dad can never have peace
Expressing the impact of the partner's actions on the speaker's peace of mind.
Why you gotta do this to me? Can't you see it's wrong
Questioning the morality of the partner's actions and their awareness of wrongdoing.
And if you thought that this would happen why'd you get a kid involved
Challenging the partner's decision to involve a child if they foresaw the breakup.
I been drinking I been thinking did she plan this all along
Suspecting the partner of planning the separation while under the influence of alcohol.
Emilee, remember daddy loves you every time you hear this song
Expressing love for the child and a dedication to them despite the challenging circumstances.
Dear daddy's baby girl, I wrote this second verse and it's just for you
Directly addressing the child and dedicating the second verse to them.
Funny how momma wouldn't send the address to send support to
Noting the mother's reluctance to share the child's address for financial support.
She knew that I was willing. She knew I could afford to
Asserting the speaker's willingness and ability to provide support despite the mother's actions.
But it was leverage for her lawyers. Mama Kobe with her court moves
Describing the mother's strategic legal moves using the child as leverage.
But fuck money, fuck the law, I just want my baby girl back
Rejecting the importance of money and legal battles, expressing a strong desire to reunite with the child.
Since the second that I lost you everything else in my world's black
Conveying the profound impact of losing the child on the speaker's world.
Probably heard about the drug abuse. It's nothing I'm trying to justify
Addressing rumors of drug abuse, clarifying it without justification, and acknowledging the mother's support.
But your Ma-Ma-Ma was by my side, with sunken eyes, every time
Highlighting the mother's emotional struggles alongside the speaker during difficult times.
Can't wait to see her face when you old enough to read them screenshots
Anticipating the child's reaction to discovering past conversations.
Lying bout bringing you to see me, plus all of the cheap shots
Accusing the mother of lying about bringing the child to visit and taking cheap shots.
She loves me now. She loves me not. Loves me again, then loves me not
Describing the inconsistent and fluctuating nature of the mother's love.
Just remembering out loud has got my stomach up in knots
Reflecting on the emotional difficulty of recalling memories and its physical impact.
But if you hearing this and I'm not around, maybe I let her get to me
Suggesting a potential scenario where the speaker may no longer be present due to the mother's actions.
Got fed up and had enough and POW! My ass was history
Speculating on a possible breaking point leading to the speaker's absence.
Either that or an overdose, cause lord knows I've cut it close
Referencing a close call with overdose, expressing the internal struggle and love for the child.
A time or two. I love you, but I hate your momma for stealing all of my time with you
Expressing love for the child while harboring resentment towards the mother for time lost.
Why you gotta do this to me? Can't you see it's wrong
Repeating the questioning of the partner's actions and emphasizing the perceived wrongdoing.
And if you thought that this would happen why'd you get a kid involved
Reiterating the puzzlement at involving a child in the breakup and expressing frustration.
I been drinking I been thinking did she plan this all along

Emilee, remember daddy loves you every time you hear this song
Closing with a reaffirmation of love for the child,
