Auggie by Mr. Pink (Rapper) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mr. Pink]
I drop to my knees thinking "oh won't you please"
Love me, accept me, please forgive me
I'm just sick, please think of the kids
Growing up without a father in a world as mad as this
I cannot lie, I am to blame
And to this house, I have brought shame
But could you find it in your heart to keep my last name
Got nowhere to go, so many miles from home
And in the end ill wash up either dead or alone
[Chorus: Mr. Pink]
I fight with my mind
[Verse 2: Mr. Pink]
A decades passed and I ain't seen him in a while
Riling up the courage to put his number in the dial
I look at the couch and I picture him sitting therе
Stained shirt, no shoes, a bushy beard and no hair
Unfair of thе world to put a man so down on his luck
Give him all he wants and then leaves him in the dust
I have lost all the trust I could ever have for love
Cuz how could love steal a mans meal and not even spare a crumb
[Chorus: Mr. Pink]
I need him
Who could ever be there instead?
[Verse 3: Mr. Pink]
The years go by and I don't know where I am
In the middle of nowhere, where no one has been
All alone, so cold, put no name up on my headstone
Wasn't I the backbone? how am I disowned
I've sewn my mouth shut, I have been knocked off my throne
I'm phoning up the people that I didn't get to see grow
No answer, views slanted, can't let them think I slacked
I wake up in the dead of night thinking "where my kids at?"
Where's the love at? can't I go back?
Everything was so simple, living lower class
Cooking meals for the family, building a backyard pool
Slept in again, didn't take my kids to school
What did I do? did I yell? did I cry too hard
Did I miss a spot out front when I was mowing the yard
Can you please tell me
[Chorus: Mr. Pink]
I fight with my mind
How can I go back
[Outro]
Hi, how are you?
Every morning he got up
Dreading each moment he had to be awake
He'd look at the floor and say
"Poor you, poor you"
"No-one understands you, poor you, poor you"
I drop to my knees thinking "oh won't you please"
Love me, accept me, please forgive me
I'm just sick, please think of the kids
Growing up without a father in a world as mad as this
I cannot lie, I am to blame
And to this house, I have brought shame
But could you find it in your heart to keep my last name
Got nowhere to go, so many miles from home
And in the end ill wash up either dead or alone
[Chorus: Mr. Pink]
I fight with my mind
[Verse 2: Mr. Pink]
A decades passed and I ain't seen him in a while
Riling up the courage to put his number in the dial
I look at the couch and I picture him sitting therе
Stained shirt, no shoes, a bushy beard and no hair
Unfair of thе world to put a man so down on his luck
Give him all he wants and then leaves him in the dust
I have lost all the trust I could ever have for love
Cuz how could love steal a mans meal and not even spare a crumb
[Chorus: Mr. Pink]
