I remember when I seen it (I remember)
I swear God it was a demon (I swear to God)
I remember when he did it
I pray to God he ain't mean it (I prayed to God)
It was something that a child shouldn't see
Let alone three (My brothers and me)
What are you to do when the one that's spose to protect you
Is the one puttin pain at feet
I remember when I seen it
I swear God it was a demon (I swear to God)
I remember when he did it
I pray to God he ain't mean it (I prayed to God)
It was something that a child shouldn't see
Let alone three (My brothers and me)
What are you to do when the one that's spose to protect you
Is the one puttin pain at feet (Man)
You were spose to be a father figure
You became just another nigga (Just another nigga)
Use to run around playin games witcha
Now I wouldn't reach a hand to ya (man)
You reach hands to the person love
And obviously are hands were on different accords
So basically you showin me how you handle your love
If this is it I don't want it take it back where it's from
Even still the pain, emotion you cause
Apart of me forever I can never move on
You see I'm hurt inside emotionally scared
I think about it every time I think of my mom
I pray to God
You didn't mean to do it
(Cause he didn't really have to)
Nah he really didn't do it
(He really shouldn't need to)
God tell me what he's doin
(Is this really how it happens)
Man tell me what to do
I remember when I seen it (I remember)
I swear God it was a demon (I swear to God)
I remember when he did it
I pray to God he ain't mean it (I prayed to God)
It was something that a child shouldn't see
Let alone three (My brothers and me)
What are you to do when the one that's spose to protect you

First it started with the shouting
(Swear they always yellin)
Man these grown ups always arguing
(They don't even know why)
Then it started getting louder
(We're spose to keep it quiet)
I think it's getting kinda violent
(Wait we gotta calm down)
I seen him raise a hand I seen a close fist
Then he started taking swings like he couldn't miss
One hit then two hit
Well I think you get the picture so I'll save you all the graphics
A blistering feeling to say the least
I walk through miles of tears to find some peace
They wonder why I'm so cold down underneath
Cause my feelings on froze they won't release
So all that good stuff you use to tell me it don't matter
I'm done with matter
Rid the world of his matter
Don't ask what's the matter
And as far as a father you can take it to the after
I remember when you did it
I remember when I seen it (I remember)
I swear God it was a demon (I swear to God)
I remember when he did it
I pray to God he ain't mean it (I prayed to God)
It was something that a child shouldn't see
Let alone three (My brothers and me)
What are you to do when the one that's spose to protect you
