In the End Your Heart Will Pay
It had been a year scents i seen my daddys face
Finly he was home to stay
Me and my boyfriend had been fighting all that day
As he drove out of sight
I told daddy i wish he would get in a weak
That takes his life away
Daddy said that is the father of your child
Dont say that
What if it happed to me
We started to talk bout our ways and all the mistakes we made
Daddy told me how pretty he thought i was
and how one day ill find that one
I asked him for 20 dollars to go out with my friends
He said please stay at home with me tonight
So i can spend time with you and R.J.
I missed you alot
I told him there is always tomorrow
and called the sitter
He slamed 20 dollars down and walked out the front door
Latter that night i was eating with a friend
thats when the phone call came in
At the first ring i knew something was wrong
hello
momma where is my daddy
she replied he is in a better place
Now go to the house and sit with your brother ill be there
when the police and doc. close the case
A massavie hart attack took my daddys life away
as he wrecked our family car
I waited a year to hear him say
He was coming home to stay
and this is how we spent our last day
what i learned from all of this is
WHATCH WHAT YOU SAY
CUZ IN THE END YOUR HEART WILL PAY
