Lyrics Single Parent Household (Bonus Track) - Silas Price

(It was the first time that I ever got my heart broke)

I remember '08 when the stock crash
House market had got bad
Single Mama just paying bills and never knowing where you had got that
Only could afford the off brand
I remember when I had got sad
See my friends have Air Force Ones but mama said I had to Rock Shaq's
Child support had got dad
And bully's would call me a soft ass
Used to take it and turn the other cheek but now I sit and just pop back
Fake love had to stop that
You know I'm always gone talk facts
Dreams to be up in top class
Riding round with top back
Had to wait for 7pm after dark
When the minutes were free just for me to call
She really ain't like me, at least I thought
You ain't have to play with my heart
And You ain't have to give me them scars
I hate it had to be someone I love who had to teach me about these frauds

It was the first time that I ever got my heart broke.
It was the worst time, empty room, now your stuff gone
This ain't the type of family you see on the Cosby Show
Oh!
Single Mother, Single Father Home

Spend weekends with my Dad
Many things we did not have
But growing up, when you don't have much
Many things in life you just bypass
Hated hearing arguments with mom all started just from a small chat
And both of em waiting by the phone just to see if the other would call back
Single Parent, that's a tall task
2 Parent home, I had lost that
I never would have asked for things if I'd actually knew it had cost that
Telling mom I want my pop back
I hated when he finally moved
Daddy would go to Dollar General just to make $20 stretch for food
Some days it felt nothing
8 Years old learning how to budget
Telling teachers everything fine at home but they knew it something
Bankrupt and in debt
Hanging tough, then made it stretch
Back when I ain't have enough and then pretend I forgot some cents
Growing up, I had got some sense
Running low on oxygen
Remember family vacations but now those things I got to miss
Vacant heart need an occupant
Divorce Papers and documents
My dad and mom really miss each other but they pride be stopping shit

It was the first time that I ever got my heart broke
And It was the worst time, all your stuff gone
This ain't the type of family you see on the Cosby Show
Oh!
Single Mother, Single Father Home
Single Mother, Single Father Home
It was the worst time, got my heart broke
And it was the worst time, empty room, all your stuff gone
I know this ain't the type of family you see on the Cosby Show
Single Mother, Single Father Home
Single Mother, Single Father Home

(I know this ain't the type of family you see on the Cosby Show)
(It was the first time that I ever got my heart broke
And It was the worst time, empty room, all your stuff gone
I know this ain't the type of family you see on the Cosby Show
I remember '08 when the stock crashed)
