Child Support

YOU BIRTH HER 
I RAISED HER
YOU PUT HER DOWN 
I PRAISED HER
YOU PUT HER OUT 
I TOOK HER IN
YOU MADE HER YOUR ENEMY 
I MADE HER MY FRIEND
YOUR HER MOM 
I AM HER DADDY
WHEN IT COME TO THIS CHILD 
YOU WAS,NT READY 
YOU GO OUT AND PARTY
I STAY HOME AND COOK
I HELP HER WITH HOMEWORK
YOU CANT FIND THE BOOK
I TAKE CARE OF HER WHEN SHE SICK
YOU LEAVE HER TO DIE 
I WIPE HER TEARS 
YOU MAKE HER CRY
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS THE TYPE
OF MOTHER YOU WOULD BE
BUT IT IS MY JOB 
SHE LIVE WITH ME
I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND 
WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT
WHY SHOULD I PAY YOU
