"Papa" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
There was one September day that papa worked 2 hard
First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard
Then he screamed at baby twice 4 throwin' rocks at passin' cars
Baby didn't listen, so like a priceless work of art
He got snatched by his papa who then opened up the closet door
And pushed the 4-year-old down onto the closet floor
Baby cried - "I'm sorry, I won't do it no more"
Papa said - "Yeah, I know, that's what this here's 4"
Smack! Ooh papa
Smack! Smack! Ooh papa, papa
Smack! Ooh papa
Smack! Smack! Ooh papa, papa
As the door closes, baby starts 2 cry
"Please don't lock me up again without a reason why!"
Papa just went outside and pointed a shotgun up in the sky
He said - "How come I don't love my woman?"
Then he took aim and died
Boom! Papa
Boom! Boom! Papa, papa
Boom! Papa
Boom! Boom! Papa, papa
Don't abuse children or else they turn out like me
Fair 2 partly crazy, deep down we're all the same
Every single one of us knows some kind of pain
In the middle of all that's crazy, this one fact still remains
If U love somebody, your life won't be in vain
And there's always a rainbow at the end of every rain
Lie down, fair one, and come away
Till the rain is over and gone
