Father Figure

When I found you you were young wayward lost in the cold

Pulled up to you in the Jag

Turned your rags into gold

The winding road leads to the chateau

"You remind me of a younger me"

I saw potential

I'll be your father figure

I drink that brown liquor

I can make deals with the devil

Because my **'s bigger

This love is pure profit

Just step into my office

I dry your tears with my sleeve

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

I pay the check before it

Kisses the mahogany grain

Said "They want to see you rise

They don't want you to reign"

I showed you all the tricks of the trade

All I ask for is your loyalty

My dear protégé

I'll be your father figure

I drink that brown liquor

I can make deals with the devil

Because my **'s bigger

This love is pure profit

Just step into my office

They'll know your name in the streets

Leave it with me

I protect the family

I saw a change in you

(Saw a change saw a change in you)

My dear boy they don't make loyalty like they used to

(Ooh-ooh oh like they used to)

Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition on foolish decisions which led to misguided visions

That to fulfill your dreams

You had to get rid of me

I protect the family

I was your father figure

We drank that brown liquor

You made a deal with this devil

Turns out my **'s bigger

You want a fight you found it

I got the place surrounded

You'll be sleeping with the fishes

Before you know you're drowning

Whose portrait's on the mantle?

Who covered up your scandals?

Mistake my kindness for weakness

And find your card cancelled

I was your father figure

You pulled the wrong trigger

This empire belongs to me

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

I protect the family

Leave it with me

"You know you remind me of a younger me"

I saw potential
