Daughter To Father

Daughter "2" Father Hey, Dad, can I talk to you? I understand the things you’ve been through But look at what I've been through I survived and forgive you For me life was like cleats Sorrow was inside me, but the pain cut deep There were times I could not sleep My stomach empty cause no food to eat Get up for school every day stumbling to stand on my feet People laughed at me cause I stumbled That’s cause I was weak I never let anyone know what was going on inside of me I was so numb I could not speak I was once a product of my community No one knew I packed heat Did what I had to do so your family could eat I looked at you and your family you left behind Could not end up in a penitentiary Too many people counting on me Praying to God to keep me free Sometimes questioning if God cared for me Many a times I prayed to Satan for help Envying people for what Satan gave them… he gave them wealth I knew this was God testing me to see If I was ready to give my life to him And to continue to receive his protection over me You said I’d find no glass slippers in my future But I found glass everywhere cause you left the family in despair In this cold world, you didn’t care No prince charming to come into my life I refuse to be like my mother a desperate housewife I understand where you came from in your life But, running from what you made and not supporting your children or wife Even though we didn’t understand each other I respected you cause you were my father After graduation I found a job To take care of your responsibilities I was a father, mother and sister too I did what a real Dad would do Walked around mad at the world I should have been mad at you You took your mickey out to be a man When your wife said she pregnant you ran Damn, I am at a loss for words, I don’t understand When you take your mickey out it’s a plan!
