letra de failure - the lab rats

kick back while i tell you this little story of glory gone bad, i put the pen to the pad to touch something i never had. my son looks at me he’s like “yo it’s up to you dad”, you know i’m glad that i got this chance to be a man my father could never be with responsibilities beyond fertility. it’s k!lling me to think i was ever even your kid. the sh-t you never bothered to do. the sh-t you did go ahead and deny it, justify it by lying. you can try and right your wrongs, hope your nights don’t last long. yo, ’cause back in ’80 i was just a baby maybe three years old but i can remember that cold december when my mother laid me down to sleep. i heard a hearty screech across the street, stuffed under my sheets, felt my heart beat. that’s when it all started, you bombarded the front door. i dart across the floor to make sure my bedroom door was locked, jumped in the toy-box covered the lid and hid while you kicked the front door in. i flashed back to the sound of broken glass ’cause my white trash dad was whipping my mom’s ass until the cops came. i remained in the same position until i was convinced you were restrained into submission just wishing that you didn’t go to jail ’cause mom had to spend the christmas on you so you could post-bail

you failed man. i said you failed man. listen up i said you failed
there’s no need for you to call me your son, i’m not the one. can’t you understand? look what you’ve done man you’ve failed

yo you failed and failed short. a negative role model who gave his toddler bottles of beer. the year’s like 1982 when i’m at granny’s house watching loony tunes on the couch with my big league chew, that’s when mom came through sobbing and crying with two black eyes talking about “ay yo brian, we got to hide!”. i was afraid that you would give me a spanking, i grabbed a blanket off of the chair and ran for the stairs and told moms to follow me. i saw some sh-t on tv that would probably flop but we got to give it a shot. we ran to the attic in automatic mode, threw ourselves on the floor like a godd-mn laundry load. and pretty soon after that yo you came through like a bat out of h-ll but smoking crack, who could face that? you must’ve known that granny baby-sat yelling “where the h-ll is my godd-mn family at?”. and i can tell mom was scared, i was bored, put my head on her shoulder because this had happened before. and i was four maybe five, lucky to be alive. to this day man, how did we ever even survive?

yo you failed man. i said you failed man. listen up i said you failed
there’s no need for you to call me your son, i’m not the one. can’t you understand? look what you’ve done because you’ve failed

i guess it’s time for me to mention the fact you went to prison for six years and every sunday i came to visit in penitentiaries getting strip searched but what’s worse i went to elementary school and just cursed about the fact other kids had it better than me. you sent your letters to me telling me how you’re gonna be free and how you’re gonna take me under your wing and show me the things that only love from a father could ever bring. i felt the string. every-time you lost control. when thrown in hole denied parole. the time you stole from me is time that i’ll never get back. your slipping like a tightrope with slack you’ve lost your grip and i won’t forget the time, ’89 thanksgiving. when moms dropped me off at the place you that were living, you were obliviously hitting your car keys in the ignition the engine running in your back-yard. felt hard when i opened the door, sh-t was bizarre. i must’ve caught you off guard, your car smelt like a bar. is this a bad time to tell you about my report card? yo dad do you even know where the h-ll you are?

yo you failed man. i said you failed man. listen up i said you failed
there’s no need for you to call me your son, i’m not the one. can’t you understand? look what you’ve done bro you’ve failed

you know you failed but i’ll never sweat it, never regret it, never let it get inside of my head or get embedded. never letting you take the credit of being a father, don’t even bother with thoughts as a grandfather. you never even called or given my son a dollar, never been involved you don’t even know him at all. i’m laying down the law because the last straw is broke. you think that life is a game, it’s no joke because you choked

and you failed. i said you failed man. listen up i said you failed
there’s no need for you to call me your son, i’m not the one. can’t you understand? look what you’ve done. you know you failed. i said you failed man. listen up i said you failed. there’s no need for you to call me your son, i’m not the one. can’t you understand? look what you’ve done. man you failed
