father lyrics by Rob Nor, Avery LaMar Pope

Verse 1

I been abandoned since birth

Mommy and daddy was teens

Maybe they thought I was cursed

Maybe they want me to dream

They gave me up to the state

Stayed until I was like 3

Finding myself in the land

Finding myself on the east

Watch how I snatch me a purse

Ride in a hottie for cream

This family tell me they love me

I just don't know what that mean

She had some bread in that purse

Now I got a felony

For purpose I hunger and thirst

That's why I stay with a drink

It sure isn't water

Outta be moving smarter

Caught up in women I barter dollars

Father, I had me a daughter

Martyr me now

I believe in this child

Can't figure out how

I'm still living wild

I lose myself in these vices

And find myself in my son

How are the broken made righteous

I ask will that day ever come

Future looks red like this rum

Guilt shoot me down when I run

There's blood on my hands

I pray God understands

That I did what I can

When it's done

Hook

I'm getting dizzy

Don't know what's in me

Is it the trauma

From living in trenches

Is it the drugs or

Is it the liquor

Is it the women

Or all of the sinnin

Need direction

Don't know where to go

Only got high cuz I was feeling low

Am I the seed that no one chose to sow

Can fathers father when it's never shown

No one wants me

It's so lonely

They chose to have me

Then never chose me

Nobody listens

Death's creepin round now

Closing the distance

Don't want to die

No I don't want to die

Somebody come save me from this lonely life

Who can I call

To pick up the phone

Come take this ugly temple

Make it a home

Verse 2

Misunderstood since my birth

Mommy and daddy was teens

We had to flee from the state

Packed up our bags and went east

Some people say that I'm cursed

Some people say I'm a king

Who do you say that I am

Tell me what do you believe

Listen, I came here to serve

Washing my enemies' feet

Some people tell me they love me

They just don't know what that mean

Read any chapter and verse

They all will point you to me

I am the water you thirst

I am the bread that you eat

When greedy, needy, weepy and weary

Hear me, clearly, wanna draw me? Fear me

Call you my peer, sincerely

Martyr me now

I believe in you child

I am key to the bound

I'm relief for the down

Trotten, forgotten, is who you are not

I'm watching and plotting and praying

I'm honest, your guard gotta drop

I got mercy long and it's for you

Goodness coming with it too

Satisfaction that is true

What more do you need to believe

That I am the I am

I am proof

Hook

I'm getting dizzy

Don't know what's in me

Is it the trauma

From living in trenches

Is it the drugs or

Is it the liquor

Is it the women

Or all of the sinnin

Need direction

Don't know where to go

Only got high cuz I was feeling low

Am I the seed that no one chose to sow

Can fathers father when it's never shown

No one wants me

It's so lonely

They chose to have me

Then never chose me

Nobody listens

Death's creepin round now

Closing the distance

Don't want to die

No I don't want to die

Somebody come save me from this lonely life

Who can I call

To pick up the phone

Come take this ugly temple

Make it a home

biography of the artist Rob Nor:

Who Rob Nor Is

Rob Nor is a hip‑hop artist from Cleveland, Ohio, born July 31, 2000. He blends personal life experiences, faith, social‑concerns and honest storytelling in his music. Before committing to music full‑time, he had early exposure to church and the local community, which has shaped both his worldview and his artistry.

Background & Life‑Journey

Rob grew up without a consistent father‑figure, raised by his mother along with his sister. That upbringing gave him a longing for identity and belonging. He discovered rap around age 12 — a friend introduced him to it — and writing lyrics became his outlet. In high school he ran into difficulties, but the support from church leaders and youth‑pastors played an important role in offering direction. After high school he studied recording arts at community college, hoping to build a music career and support his younger sister.

In his late teens/early twenties, a period of personal struggle followed: he became a father while still very young, underwent the challenges of early parenthood during difficult times, and experienced a period when his faith was disconnected from his life. Over time, he returned to faith and used his experiences — hardship, hope, loss and redemption — to inform his music with depth, honesty and vulnerability.

Music Career & Mission

Rob Nor uses his music as a platform to merge faith, creative arts, and social justice. As much as he raps and sings, he also engages in ministry: as of 2023, he accepted a role as a Juvenile Justice Minister with a youth‑serving organization, working to help marginalized and at-risk youth. Through that role, he’s developing programs that use music and creative arts to give young people positive outlets — helping them tell their stories and find purpose.

In his own music, Rob Nor reflects on identity, hardship, faith, and community realities. His lyrical style uses metaphor, narrative, and vivid imagery to invite listeners into personal stories, while also challenging social issues and calling for hope and restoration.

Artistic Style & What Makes Him Stand Out

Rob’s music sits at the intersection of contemporary hip‑hop, faith-based insight, and community consciousness.

He’s unafraid to expose vulnerability, struggles, doubts, and redemption — giving his work emotional and spiritual weight.

His commitment to mentoring youth and using music as a tool for social change makes him different from many “just‑music” artists: he sees artistry as ministry and outreach.

Because of his mix of raw authenticity and hope-driven messages, his music resonates with listeners who appreciate both honesty and faith.
