about
This song is called "Stuntin like Mufasa" we always wanted to make a track referencing the lion king and the parallel between that father son relationship with our own the added bonus was hearin this stuntin liek my daddy remix on bearbot.com that just had tha indie rock / hip hop swagger that "thefiveone" represents ...and this came about completely organically, we didn't even realize father's day was this weekend until the song was finished yesterday.....it's amazing how things fall into place and it's also amazing how we make songs like a few hours before we drop em' ...lmao
lyrics
(Insert from Lion King)
Chorus:
And I be stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
I be stunting like my Daddy
I'm the
Young Stunna!
Stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
I be stunting like my Daddy
Verse 1:
O father tell me what to do here
Listen to your son cause I'm tryna make a truce here
You said that you're never gonna leave me
Look up to the stars when you really wanna see me
But you were wrong
And life goes on
Surviving off these bugs cause I need to stay strong And
No worries is my motto
But I jus can't help to feel sorrow
Cause u never got to see tomorrow
And I never got to say goodbye
Say goodbye
O Son like I told you here I am
Left you as a boy, but you need to be
man
You forgot me cause you forgot you
Need to grow up take ya place like ya ought to
Lost who, not me, I'm ya pops fool!
I died cause of me son, not you!
Please take away your tears and regrets
Learn from ya past don't change how you live
I got to go but promise me a thing
Say hello to ya mother and I need to hear you sing...
Chorus:
And I be stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
I be stunting like my Daddy
I'm the
Young Stunna!
Stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
I be stunting like my Daddy
Verse 2:
Hey Papa I know I act a fool
Only trying to be a man so I can stand next to you
Don't mean to disappoint
Suspended from school
But I get in my feelings when they're
disrespecting you
Mama says I'm nothing like you
And I shouldn't chase the stars
Let you fall by yourself to avoid any scares
I disagree wit her
Papa your my hero
I need you
To lean on
When the world gets tough
Hey little man
You know your Daddy's angel?
I only have the strength to go on because I need to
And for you
I will take the moon out the sky
If it meant for you too live
Daddy would give up his life
You see your father isn't strong
I'm just being responsible
If your to be a man I'ma be the example
Cause I wouldn't never ask you
Something wouldn't do myself
Until you came along
I was barely a man myself...
(Lion King insert)
Chorus:
And I be stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
I be stunting like my Daddy
I'm the
Young Stunna!
Stunting like my Daddy
Stunting like my Daddy
I be stunting like my Daddy
Verse 3:
(Pentru Tati, Andrei Mare)
My old man once fell off a mountain
Out for a minute, Rescued by homeboys
Who were with him at the time (at the time)
My old man once had a vision
Young diplomat, new life in the District
But gave it up for his children
With American Vision.
