Who You Think I Learned It From?

[Intro: MayDay]
Who you think I learned that from huh?
Who you think I learned that from?

[Verse 1: MayDay]
Real love is intimidating
Real love is something that would have saved me
And maybe saved your torn up soul
You were born to spread hatred like a curse
You were always making shitty excuses
Using my mama as a rug
So your foot and fist could introduce her
To the motherfucker that you are
You were always counting on the minutes
I was counting by the years
Till I could save my mama
From the disgrace that you were
You were the reason I swore
That I’d never grow up to be like you
No matter what shit I had to go through
And your baggage was piling up high
Your addiction was a good time
To eat up all of the money
Mom saved for me and my dreams
You said go fuck yourself you fool
You ain’t got nothing to do
Go get the fuck out of this house
You put a fist to my face
You grabbed my shirt and tore it
The same way you were holding
Our hearts like they were the enemy
As if your family was the monstrosity
Because you loved putting the blame
On the weak who you could tame
And congratulations for leaving me
Didn’t know how pathetic you could be
Know that I’m better than I ever was
I didn’t need you to do anything
Cause every horrible decision you made
Made me into the man I am today
Know that I took care of my daughter
So she always had somewhere to go
And felt that her father would provide her
The type of life she deserves
So she could grow up to be a fighter
I taught her to be confident in who she is
To never let words make her doubt
The ability she has to be anything
I support her dreams cause every ounce
Of me is trying to be the father she needs
Cause everything I do now
Will affect her dreams

[Hook: MayDay]
The power of words
Who you think I learned that from?
Always blaming others
Who you think I learned that from?
Running away and getting high
Who you think I learned that from?
Setting up a horrible life
Who you think I learned that from?

[Verse 2: MayDay]
Don’t ever think for a second
That the bruises you put on me
That the memories I despised
Would ever get to me
Cause a part of who I am
Is because of who you were
All your evil was spread
To the point it couldn’t get any worse
And I swore I’d never forgive you
If something happened to mom
Now I understand how safe she is
How comfortable and warm
It must be up in Heaven
Where all she sees is a light
The one that you darkened every day
With your ego and pride
And I don’t care where the hell you are now
Don’t ever try to contact me or Lily again
I’ll never let you touch her or see her
That’s one promise I made from the beginning
And save your sorry and shove it up your ass
I won’t give you any respect
Cause you don’t deserve a bit of the glass
I raised to say cheers on the day
My album dropped, and I got paid
And made a name for myself
I did all of it without your fucking help
So if you ever wanna spread lies
Telling the world that you cried
Cause you were happy for my success
That you believed in me from the start
Save your breath cause I’ll put it on paper
And spit it out cause you can’t even save ya
You’re just digging another hole
Right next to the one you already owned
You think your apologies are enough
To clean the slate and make me understand love
You think starting over will heal me
Or will it show me in the end
That you’re the same you always were
You never changed or begged to be forgiven
You rather I tell you I hate you
So you can smile and feel affection
Cause your idea of love is twisted
You think that pain is a gift
You like knowing how much I suffered
You like knowing what you did to my mother
And I said I’d keep my mouth shut
That I would never say nothing
But to be silent when you’re still talking
Pretending that you were there
I’m not gonna keep it shut
I’ll portray the image you were scared
That the world would finally see
You only did this to yourself
It’s better if you stop talking right now
Cause you’re falling deeper in the hole
I hope you sink in cause it’s what you deserve

Who you think I learned that from?
