Didn't Take Over

[Hook: Chantel Taddeo] Working hard, greased up hands Life is hard, you don't understand [Hook: Rossi] Didn't follow the footsteps in what he showed ya Now I'm sorry I didn't take over [Verse 1: Rossi] Started out in the backyard only on weekends He was doing services cheap for friends Good work gave him a name around the streets More cars coming, parked right down the street Money started piling, names were filing Left his boss and became his own My Dad was nineteen fully grown No tire, that stone face was shown Him and my Mum got married and the crest was sewn Kept it going his sweat for the family New clothes and watches, that he handed me Living like a young rockefeller, that's what my nonno called him He said "slow down son" that's what he told him It kept going more and more built up in the game Then I was born, Italian raised got a little gold chain I was gifted with the beautiful name.. That I gained [Hook & Hook] [Verse 2: Rossi] I was about five, my sister about three Bought a big workshop, no more services for free He's got those nerves you can see Mum relaxing him Saying he still serves the fee's Built a house out front Life was set Dressing sweet not sour, no vinaigrette Then I got to high school His test built up, work slowed down And the stress filled up The school fee's were so billed up The economy's stuffed and you've had enough You're down to one member As a kid I remember You looked at me like 'this is yours' But the work that he loved I just didn't adore Dad maybe it's your fault That this is what I want The music that you taught was brilliant I remember when you showed me In The Ghetto My face turned cold like metal and it was settled I had to tell stories too, now this is a little story, for you Great skills he had Paid bills we had It was driven by the will he had I'm older but I'm still me Dad [Hook & Hook]
