[Intro] You ain't my blood, you're just a stain A ghost I never learned to name [Verse 1] You spread your legs for half the coast Then ran before you saw my face My mum bled green to give me birth While you were pissing on some other place Don't talk to me about a "man" You wouldn't know one if he gutted you Every scar I've earned since birth Is a debt with your name stitched right through [Pre-Chorus] "ROT" [Chorus] Fuck your regrets, fuck your excuses too I don't need a father, I had my mumma pull me through She taught me how to fight, how to bleed, how to stand Not some sleazy elf who couldn't lift a hand Do you ever think of us? I hope it fucking haunts you Do you have regrets? Good — now rot [Verse 2] Ask Ossir, ask Mephala too Same rotten root, different fruit that grew You broke us all before we had a chance Left three kids to clean up your romance My mumma taught me all I know (She raised a beast, you know) My mumma taught me all I know ("You're nothing, you're a ghost") I ain't sorry, I don't feel sad The only thing I feel is glad you're gone [Chorus] Fuck your regrets, fuck your excuses too I don't need a father, I had my mumma pull me through She made me the man who could burn this whole world down Do you ever think of us? Do you feel that ugly sound? Do you have regrets? I hope you fucking rot Don't look back, don't you dare look back! [Bridge] Some nights I lay there, jaw locked tight Wondering what I'd say if I saw your face tonight — But there's no words, just a rising flame Just a lifetime of never knowing your name So here's a song to say I don't forgive Here's the only truth I've got left to give You gave me nothing, so I owe you the same I don't need blood — I built my own damn name! [Breakdown] "ROT" [Final Chorus] Fuck your regrets, fuck your excuses too I don't need a father, my mumma pulled me through She's the one who molded me, made me who I am Do you have regrets? Do you feel it, old man? Do you have regrets? Then rot in hell! [Outro] I DON'T NEED BLOOD— "ROT" I never needed you.
