2:38am
They hang around you for the booze
Money and dope
You hang around them for the company
To hide the fact you're lonely
Your daughter is to young to see
That her daddy is in his misery
Sometimes your babygirl looks you right in
The eyes no expression just upward brows
Your woman is all ears all body and opened soul
She prays night after night for your destiny, your change
You appear grateful and with the knowing youre
Blessed though you still cant see what's in front of you
Everything in your life has the potential to change
And get better
Hopefully you see the beauty in yourself
In your life before you give up on yourself
