Could Never

I don’t have a father, that’s my big brother We both never had a father but we both had a heartless mother That nigga can never be my father Many days, I didn’t have a meal, he didn’t even bother I would rather watch the blood drain out his body than give that nigga a hug You could never be my father, you shout at my heart with your neglect like a thug You treat me as if I was your stepchild, never was I treated like a child If I fight back and speak up, I’m ungrateful and Hostile There are days that I have to miss class because I’m broke That nigga told me to get a job like this is a damn Joke I had to miss 1 year to help your mama because she caught a Stroke And still, ya’ll treat me like burnt tar from a black smoke That nigga is always on his period being ratchet Slashing his words and insults through my skin like a Hatchet Mein! Aren’t you tired of being a damn Fruit Cake? When are you going to be a man? At least for my sister's sake. Can’t you see that your mama is a snake When you are not around she’s shady and Fake Nigga, I was young but I was awake! Y’all tried to take advance of me was a mistake I will not put up with this bull, I’m not my mother I used to have a heart but now it’s a damn rubber That nigga can never be my father, that’s my big brother My mother was my father
