Read All About It lyrics

I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out

So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it

Read all about it
ohhhh

Nothing to hide
stifle and smother
suffered and cried

Strife made me tougher
never mumbled or shy to
the trouble I rise
above all
expectations forget rep

Ain't never begged yet
when I wanted to get
pence hustle
to be I'm exactly
what my neck says

Saying I tried to cash in
on my Dad's death
I wanted to vent 'stead
I said nothing at all

After all you were
never kin to me
family is something
that you'dnever
been to me

In fact making it harder
for me to see my father
was the only thing
that you ever did for me
I wanna sing

I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out

So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it

Read all about it
Ohhhh
Ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh

Ooh oh ooh
Yeah dad as a kid
I looked up to you the
only thing was I never
saw enough of you

Last thing I said to you
was I hated you
I loved you but now
it's too late
to say it to you

Just didn't know
what to do or
how to deal with it
even now deep down
I still live it

To think I used to
blame me I wondered
what I did to you
to make you hate me

I wasn't even five
life's a journey and mine
wasn't an easy ride
you never even got
to see me rap

I just wish you
woulda reached out
I wish you woulda
been round
when I been down

I wish that you could
see me now
wherever you are
I really hope
you find peace

But I know that if
I ever have kids
unlike you I'll never
let them be without me
I wanna sing

I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out

So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it

Read all about it
ohhhh

I write songs
I can't listen to
everything I have
I give to you

Every one of these lines
I sing to you

My job's more like
public service
My life just became
yours to read
and interpret

If you heard it
it'd come across
a little different at times
I throw fits when I read
how they word things

You see me smile
now you're gonna
have to see me hurtin'

Coz pretending
everything is alright
when it ain't really
isn't working
I wanna sing

I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out

So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it

Read all about it
ohhh
I ain't censoring
myself for nobody

I'm the only thing
I can be

All that is good

All that is bad

All that is
me

I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream
till the words dry out

So put it in all
of the papers
I'm not afraid
they can read
all about it

Read all about it
ohhhh
