My oedipus complex

I need somebody won´t you help me
I need somebody won´t you tell me who I am
I´ve been living a lie so long it seems I´ve lived a life time
If you could see what I feel it would make your ghetto look like heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn´t stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture
My heart turns to stone and I think of this
I need somebody wont you help me
I need somebody wont you tell me who I am
You never loved me you never held me tight
Instead you shook me like a beast to wake me up at night
You tried to make me think that your ways were best
When all I was was an outlet for all your stress
Life it´s the ultimate sin
A game with no rules that you´re expected to win
My personal hell´s hidden with a grin
"Dad take the stand and let the trial begin"
You said that oil and water don´t mix though it seems cool
Keep with your own and don´t fuck up our gene pool
You should´ve went to school like your bigger brother
But you played the fool with a different color
Runnin´ ship with a whip
I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped
Money made you so wise
How could you look through my face and not see your own eyes
Do as I say and not as I do
But I can´t ´cause when I look in the mirror I see you
And oh the pain how it hurts
It was always your home and your business that came first
You said a man is as good as his word
But your mind was closed and mine never heard
My visions blurred, thoughts obscured
And when my blind was down I strayed from the herd
They say the nut don´t fall far from the tree
Look at you then look at me...
You ain´t nothing to me you´ve never been to me
And all you ever gave a damn about was money see
So now fuck you man you ain´t shit to me
And it´s the day that I die of this hate that I´m free
Now I know growing up son that it ain´t always been easy
And I know at times I was not always there for you
We never spent much time just talking or having a good time
But understand growing up son I never had a dime
So I worked my ass off and I put myself through college
And everything I have to this day you know I built it all
Oh I wish I could go back and change the years that´s lost between us
I wish I could take back some of the things I said to you
Son I said I´m sorry...
Son I said I´m sorry but still you resent me so
Son I said I´m sorry and why do you resent me so
I always loved you I always cared for you
Just never wanted you to go through what I´ve been through
I tried to raise my fucking family just the best I know
And now I´m hated like the devil and for what I don´t know
Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I need somebody won´t you help me
I need somebody won´t you tell me who I am
I need somebody please please help me
I need somebody you must tell me who I am (hey x3)
Tell me who I am(hey x2)
Tell me who I am(I am x2)
Tell me who I am(am x2)
TELL ME!!! tell me
I need somebody won´t you tell me who I am
I´ve been living a lie so long it seems I´ve lived a life time
If you could see what I feel it would make your ghetto look like heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn´t stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture
My heart turns to stone and I think of this
I need somebody wont you help me
I need somebody wont you tell me who I am
You never loved me you never held me tight
