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?
