If anyone has seen the video of Fat Mike dressed as Cokie The Clown at SXSW, I'm sure this song will make more sense than it already does.

In the video, Mike said he was 35 his dad told him that his mom would force his dad to see him. His dad told him "I was young, I just wanted to party and get laid". His dad lived in an adult only apartment and kids weren't allowed near the pool, so his dad would leave him alone in the apartment to go to the pool "to drink Coors and smoke pot".

Mike is not cold for not seeing his dad. You can't make a lifetime up to your only kid when you're on your death bed.
