Like Father, Like Son (Papa’s Song) Gym Class Heroes

[Hook]
Papa was a rolling stone
But I want to be the cover of a Rolling Stone
Only I know that I can’t do it alone
Only I know that I can’t do it alone

[Verse 1]
August 6th, 1981 I took my first breath
They said I smiled and cried ‘til it was none left
I guess I knew what I was in for before hand
Miniature grown man HAH
Third of three sons big bird and squirt guns
Aunt Tammy dressed up like a clown when I turned one
Scared the shit out of me but thanks for trying
Sitting in my high chair throw a kick and crying
I remember everything every single detail
Clinging onto daddies leg like, “Don’t leave, I’ll be good
I promise, I’ll do anything Dad, honest.”
But he had to go to work and bust his ass for them dollars
Now it all makes sense back then I wasn't having it
Obsessed with He-man so young and so adamant
More concerned with Castle Grayskull than baseball
Then I learned that if I worked a little I could have it all
All my friends got allowances I had a paper route
And when no one was looking I threw the papers out
Got caught made Dad furious
And if you gonna do something do it right
That’s what earnest is
