Papa Was A Rolling Stone - Was (Not Was)[00:00:00]

It was the third of September[00:01:13]

That day I'll always remember yes I will[00:01:17]

'Cause that was the day that my daddy died[00:01:22]

I never had a chance to see him[00:01:31]

Never heard nothing but bad things about him[00:01:36]

Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth[00:01:40]

Mama looked up and said son[00:01:46]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:01:48]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:01:52]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:01:57]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:02:05]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:02:09]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:02:13]

Where the hell are you daddy that's what I'm saying[00:02:25]

Down on my knees and tears and I'm praying[00:02:28]

Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true[00:02:30]

So I could feel like the other kids do[00:02:32]

A young child but not complete as a whole[00:02:34]

Before I was born you up and strolled[00:02:36]

Mama was there but you was up in the wind[00:02:38]

You never even knew my name and then[00:02:40]

You never wrote called let alone came by[00:02:42]

As a youth it was hard to wonder why[00:02:44]

But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity[00:02:46]

Thinking about the life you didn't give me[00:02:48]

I remember when I used to tell lies[00:02:51]

When people would ask I'd just fantasize[00:02:52]

Thinking of stories to make you look good[00:02:55]

But the real truth was you was never no good[00:02:57]

People would say I looked just like you[00:02:59]

But rest assured I don't act like you[00:03:01]

I'm more than that my mama raised me better[00:03:03]

And you can best believe I'm much more together[00:03:05]

So belive that[00:03:09]

Mama is it true what they say[00:03:10]

That papa never worked a day in his life [00:03:13]

And mama there's some bad talk going round town[00:03:18]

That papa had three out-side children[00:03:21]

And another wife and that ain't right[00:03:23]

Heard some talk about papa[00:03:29]

Papa doing some store-front preching[00:03:29]

Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching[00:03:33]

Dealing in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord[00:03:36]

Mama looked up and said son[00:03:43]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:03:45]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:03:49]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:03:53]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:04:02]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:04:05]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:04:10]

It's been said you gave me something you never had[00:04:22]

But that's not always true and it's sad[00:04:24]

To find myself missing you when I did[00:04:26]

But who knows the reasons why you did what you did[00:04:28]

I can't help but wonder why[00:04:31]

You lived your life as a big fat lie[00:04:33]

You act like you had no responsibilities[00:04:35]

'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be[00:04:37]

Stealing begging hustling and scheming[00:04:39]

You could'a got a job[00:04:41]

But did you know the meaning of work[00:04:42]

I'm talking about an honest day's pay[00:04:44]

But you was too lazy to be that way[00:04:45]

Always trying to take the easy route[00:04:47]

That's what they tell me so I don't doubt[00:04:49]

It for a moment not for a sec[00:04:51]

Because you lacked all your self respect[00:04:53]

But it's too late for you that is[00:04:56]

Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz[00:04:58]

And so it's time to put the past behind[00:05:00]

Erase the anger and clear my mind[00:05:02]

I want to forget the little bit I know[00:05:04]

And make sure that I never sink so low[00:05:06]

'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know[00:05:08]

That I was always there because I loved them so[00:05:10]

And that's the least thing that I can do[00:05:12]

But that's a lot more than I got from you[00:05:14]

I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades[00:05:16]

Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave [00:05:21]

Folks say papa would beg borrow or steal[00:05:25]

To pay his bills[00:05:29]

Hey mama folks say papa wasn't much on thinking[00:05:32]

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking[00:05:38]

Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth[00:05:42]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:05:50]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:05:54]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:05:58]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:06:07]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:06:11]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:06:15]

Papa was a rolling stone[00:06:23]

Wherever he laid his hat was his home[00:06:28]

And when he died all he left us was alone[00:06:32]
