Free Cee Anything But a King

it's not fair being a begger when i should be treated as a king it's unfair being seen as a burden when i do so much for you it's not fair being told that i ask for too much when I give you everything it's not fair being condemed for small things when there are so many large things i do i wasn't born to be treated as an afterthought always coming second i wasn't created to be overlooked as if i'm just there when you need me i wasn't born to be treated as a slave whenever your neediness beckoned i wasn't created to be locked in a cage by you when i should be holding the key i do you favors and you want to negotiate i do things for you i never did for anyone before i hate the feeling of watching my adoration for you slowly abate when you are all i love, wish for and adore you ask me why i awake angry and ready to fight you ask me why i arise thinking about all the ways you negate me all i can tell you is i wake up maddened because what you do isn't right and now can i please have back that cage's key?
