| Dear Dad
|
| Yeah it’s me, surprised that I’m writin'?
|
| Well not really, I’m sittin' at my computer just typin'
|
| Heard you were sick
|
| Would have found out last week had I called
|
| But to be honest
|
| I don’t feel the least bad at all
|
| Yeah I know that sounds fucked up but you made me like that
|
| Look at my childhood, I can’t believe you played me like that
|
| You was never around, promises was all you resort
|
| No child support not as much as a call to my moms
|
| I went through nights with no dinner lookin' bummy and skips
|
| Could go no where in school with no money for trips
|
| Gettin' cracked on by honeys and shit
|
| Strugglin'
|
| That’s why I don’t listen to your lectures on hustlin'
|
| Cause we had nothin'
|
| Stuck in the hood always
|
| And you refer to the 80s as the good ole' days?
|
| Well they wasn’t for me
|
| I guess things went all your way
|
| But I ain’t done keep reading I got more to say
|
| I know this all seems abrasive
|
| But look what I’m faced with
|
| Missed opportunities
|
| Missed chances missed places
|
| I looked at what others had and I couldn’t get basic
|
| Deprived of so much that’s why I’m stuck with this hatred
|
| I went through problem after problem thinkin' you wouldn’t care
|
| All simply because you wasn’t there
|
| Just promise to visit and sorry’s couldn’t redeem you
|
| It probably would have been better if I would never had seen you
|
| Cause then I wouldn’t have a face to place with the lies
|
| And the disappointment that infected our lives
|
| I guess that’s why I’m so bothered now
|
| And want to hit a motherfucker sayin' you your father’s child
|
| So I gotta be keepin' the faith
|
| For them three girls of mine and I won’t be repeatin' mistakes
|
| That you made with me cause I don’t miss my past
|
| And every third Sunday in June you can kiss my ass
|
| And I could feel it as a child growin' up
|
| Many moons have cycled since the night you decided
|
| To break out late and fade out into the silence
|
| First born son still playin' in his diapers
|
| Left behind ya
|
| Kinda thought I’d never find ya
|
| But guess what?
|
| The human being you had deemed a mistake
|
| Is now staring you in your face
|
| It’s a disgrace the way I was treated
|
| Shit, you probably wish I got caught in the condom when my pops skeeted
|
| Well fuck that I buck back all odds
|
| And stuck straight through your façade of camouflage
|
| You ain’t my mom
|
| You ain’t nothin' but a heartless bitch
|
| I’m starting to switch
|
| Don’t even start this shit
|
| Tryin' to fabricate facts that my dad kidnapped me
|
| It can’t be nothin' but lies to try to trap me
|
| In fact he
|
| Packed me to Cali in '84
|
| We found your crib but you never came to the door
|
| Wouldn’t answer the phone but you had to be home
|
| Tragedy sewn
|
| Yo, you had to know you were wrong
|
| Reminisce and it’s not surprising
|
| Grew up so broke I thought the poverty line was the horizon
|
| Many nights and days we stayed in shacks
|
| Pops breakin' his back
|
| Faded ass packs of food stamps
|
| But karma’s a double edge sword
|
| So thanks for letting me borrow your fuckin' umbilical cord |
