Should Of Been Ready

I ain't seen my dad since my granddaddy passed
I ain't even been by the house to see none of 'em
My grandma and them, you know
It was three of us, now one of us gone
There's some unanswered questions pop

You and momma seemed fine when y'all was datin'
She was 17 and you was 22 when you signed papers
Gave her your last name, her last name
Why do I have your last name?
You won't dare to take care of the responsibility
Of the child that you brought here, eh?
Talk to me pop, I ain't bein' rude or nothin'
Talk to me pop, I look just like you
I'm a chip off the old block, ain't that what they say pop?
You know it's funny, 'cause now I'm on top
And I don't need pop, but I still acknowledge him
See the problem was a problem but it's no longer a problem
'Cause now I'm grown up pop
And you don't owe me an explanation
But I want an explanation, why? 'Cause I want one pop

Momma shoulda been ready (Oh yeah)
When you brought me here (When you brought PETA here)
But you weren't ready (I know you weren't)
I'm here (I'm here), I'm here (I'm here)
Shoulda been ready (Ready)
When you brought me here (Woo)
But I know (I know) you weren't ready (Ready)
To deal with it (To deal with it)

Word on the street you was so fresh and so clean
Same way I am today, so fresh and so clean
Nigga match everything from my hat down to his shoestring
Had more hoes than ho strobe had hoes, understand me? (Uh-huh)
Bad motherfucker I heard (I heard)
But what happened to you? Havin' a kid
Made you lose your Cadillac and a curb (Woop)
I ain't mean to put a cramp in your swerve
You made me so you know the trees that
You passed on (You know, you know)
I ain't out here, especially not on folks they call blood
How much blood in the father's in the son? (Huh?)
Come on (Come on), you do the math
I dropped out in the eighth grade, I'm considered dumb (Dumb)
But I can't be too dumb 'cause I done
Done more things than you done, uh-huh

Momma shoulda been ready (Ready)
Ooh, I know you weren't ready
Momma shoulda been ready

'Cause I'm a bad son bitch (Bitch)
And I got everything that I want and work
Hard for everything that I get (Get)
West coast, three whips (Three whips)
And I don't ask Simon, you call Suge for shit (Shit)
Spend my own chips (Chips)
The rest of these niggas be free loadin'
But I would feel less than a man if I asked a man to do that (Do that)
And that's why I get the respect I get bitch, 'cause I do that

Momma shoulda been ready (Oh yeah)
When you brought me here (When you brought PETA here)
But you weren't ready (I know you weren't)
I'm here (I'm here), I'm here (I'm here)
Shoulda been ready (Ready)
When you brought me here (Woo)
But I know (I know) you weren't ready (Ready)
To deal with it (Deal with it)
