[Verse 1]
Pops said, "Son, I’ll be back in a bit"
Keys by the door, quick trip, that’s it
Shopping list scribbled, lil’ drawing I made
Heart in a cart, coupon on the page
He said, "We outta milk, I’ll fix that fast"
Front door shut, that’s the last I had
I grew up quick, with a question to ask:
Who knew abandonment would give me gas?
[Chorus]
If my dad came back with that cows’ lactation
Maybe I’d avoid this flatulation
Every latte feels like retaliation
Stomach like, "Bro, call a congregation"
If my dad came back with that cows’ lactation
Would my trauma have less carbonation?
Therapist nodding like, "What a combination"
Daddy issues, dairy, and detonation (boom)
[Verse 2]
Friends drink shakes, I just sip shame
They got ice cream, I got inner pain
They do root beer floats, I do root canal
Every cheese board feels personal now
Order that pizza, I’m reading the crust
"Extra mozzarella?" That’s betrayal and lust
I text my ex like, "We were lactose too
We both couldn’t handle what we put us through" (oh)
[Chorus]
If my dad came back with that cows’ lactation
Maybe I’d avoid this flatulation
Every latte feels like retaliation
Stomach like, "Bro, call a congregation"
If my dad came back with that cows’ lactation
Would my heart need less medication?
Every little bubble is an accusation
Daddy ran off, now my butt gives presentations
[Bridge]
Therapist said, "Let the feelings pass"
But the feelings travel straight to my ass (my bad)
Every soft-serve twist, every creamy snack
Got me checking every exit in the back
So pops, if you hear this, wherever you at
You left a big hole and a whole lotta gas
You ain’t pay support, now I pay in the stall
We both ran out on the kid, after all
[Chorus]
If my dad came back with that cows’ lactation
Maybe I’d avoid this flatulation
Every latte feels like retaliation
Stomach like, "Bro, call a congregation"
If my dad came back with that cows’ lactation
Maybe I’d trust one person on this nation
Till then it’s oat, soy, weird hydration
Lactose and daddy issues, that’s my foundation
