culture at home  smile [00:18.69]Don't be too proud  too wild [00:20.40]You may suffer  just don't cry out loud [00:22.35]This notion of professionalism [00:24.51]Is like an exorcism [00:25.51]Forced to give your life away [00:26.73]While you're earnin' a livin' [00:28.32]These thoughts had stopped me [00:29.26]From rejoinin' the work force [00:31.14]But now the situation I'm in [00:32.70]Just seems to hurt more [00:34.00]Maybe it wont be bad [00:35.39]Maybe it'll be good [00:36.75]I could use a little structure in my life [00:38.21]Maybe I should [00:39.37]Take my suit and tie out of the closet [00:41.84]Try shinin' up my shoes [00:43.06]And brush the f**kin' dust off of my wallet [00:45.31]Let's consider the prospects [00:46.86]Make a couple phone calls [00:48.36]Now so many interviews you know [00:49.74]I got next week [00:51.01]I'm strictly goin' from the bottom [00:52.15]To the peak [00:53.45]I'm ready focused and determined [00:54.26]To get back on my feet [00:56.41]Daddy had a name tag that said [00:58.52]"Busy working" [00:59.36]Mommy had a milk carton that said [01:01.33]"Missing person" [01:02.67]John had a new baseball glove [01:03.75]With nobody to learn with [01:05.05]That's oil and water trying to mix [01:06.46]On the same surface [01:07.75]I got a job at a business place [01:09.14]I chose not to name [01:10.50]Ask me how did I achieve this so quick [01:12.43]Yes you may [01:13.35]Back when I was (Incomprehensible) [01:14.90]I compiled a stunning resume [01:16.24]I didn't value way back then [01:17.52]But boy it helped today [01:19.20]I'm pushin' every single thought [01:20.39]Of rebellin' away [01:21.68]I'm workin' real hard  my pockets are swellin' [01:23.75]And hey [01:24.43]Can you believe I met the girl of my dreams [01:26.30]I swear she's meant for me [01:27.66]We've been together over 2 years  goin' on 3 [01:30.42]We married on our 4th anniversary [01:33.10]Bought a house and turned a room [01:34.47]Into a nursery [01:35.87]For the bouncin' baby [01:37.01]That we're expecting in June [01:38.64]I sat in that delivery room from noon  to noon [01:41.62]24 hours of labor then the nurse [01:43.25]Asked me his title for the paper [01:44.94]You know  so the government can chase ya' [01:47.32]First name  John  last name  Insignificant [01:50.42]I'm smiling like a proud dad [01:51.66]I got the birth certificate [01:53.13]Go to the house and here's my [01:54.79](Incomprehensible) [01:55.50]I looked around and nothings good enough [01:57.03]For her or him [01:58.27]So my 8 hour days became 9  9 slid up to 10 [02:01.59]A subtle slip up to 11 and then [02:04.03]After a 12 hour day [02:05.39]I too little energy to say [02:06.87]"I love you"  to my baby or play daddy to J [02:09.66]And I thought this was the way [02:11.07]Or be a husband and a father [02:12.79]I guess I could've looked in her eyes [02:14.16]And seen I lost her [02:15.71]But it wasn't my fault [02:16.68]I'm workin' hard  it couldn't be [02:18.17]I've been successfully existing [02:19.63]As a member of this family [02:21.27]I was so convinced the household [02:22.31]Had to always be complete [02:23.86]I didn't realize the only thing [02:25.34]That's missing is me [02:27.19]Daddy had a name tag that said [02:28.87]"Busy working" [02:29.71]Mommy had a milk carton that said [02:31.52]"Missing person" [02:32.56]John had a new baseball glove [02:33.63]With nobody to learn with [02:35.34]That's oil and water trying to mix [02:36.78]On the same surface [02:38.05]There was never any talk of divorce [02:39.78]I can't believe [02:40.76]How focused I was in the face of [02:42.20]Such a huge potential loss [02:43.87]Thought I signed a grievance with the boss [02:45.81]In fact  I was mad at my wife [02:47.68]As if she's trying to knock me off course [02:49.46]But I still visited the florist [02:50.65]To get her flowers [02:52.16]When the last time I did this [02:53.84]Not since our wedding shower [02:55.09]I got home and I was greeted [02:56.57]By the fact we'd been deleted [02:57.88]I was someone that my wife [02:59.10]And child thought they no longer needed [03:00.56]And before I could say  "Where's John " [03:02.68]I looked down and he was clingin' to her arm [03:04.91]I realized-ed that I'm wrong [03:06.38]I blacked out and by the time I came to [03:08.47]They were gone [03:09.28]But somehow I sat and shook my head [03:10.86]And then I carried on [03:12.09]And I still completed 3 weeks of work [03:13.71]Before my breakdown [03:14.85]The ambulances came [03:15.42]And I got medicine to take now [03:17.77]And it's hard to get a job [03:18.97]When you been treated and released [03:20.39]So both my relationship [03:21.09]And my career had deceased [03:22.98]It took years to put myself together [03:24.34]Piece by piece [03:25.92]And thank God I found a woman [03:27.21]That's propitiate with me [03:28.73]And I'll never let this happen again [03:30.08]It's not to be [03:31.59]I'm ready focused and determined [03:32.51]To get back on my feet [03:34.78]Daddy had a name tag that said [03:36.62]"Busy working' [03:37.49]Mommy had a milk carton that said [03:39.42]"Missing person' [03:40.40]John had a new baseball glove [03:41.97]With nobody to learn with [03:43.24]The oil left the water [03:44.26]And the water kept searchin'
