There was 1 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 four-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 1 of us knows some kind of pain
  In the middle of all that's crazy, this 1 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
