Raised With Love

I was raised with love Alot of smiles from everybody around Even now But it was alot of affection Being brought up by majority women Gave me the wrong impression Because while they was giving me hugs And kisses I'm over here enjoying every minute They failed to show me the difference Meaning That this is the act of all women And it wasn't Misguided no sense of direction And I had to learn a valuable lesson To not expect this from all females Receiving rejection everyday And being pushed away Because of the way I show love And it burns It's because the way they were raised They were not taught to giv it bac in return My only concern Is why I wasn't warned Why was I raised to believe this Why didn't I know is the question Yal could of showed me the other side At least as a reflection Then teach me the correction Instead yal jus made me believe That the love you show Is the same you shall receive But my generation women don't agree Leaving me guessing for the connection I'm not a Saint I make mistakes There's no such thing as perfection And when you do wrong things Karma gives no exceptions But yal didn't warn me so I didn't expect this The misconception I feel betrayed I wanna change But I'm afraid it's 2 late I'm stuck this way I was raised with love And I hate it every single day
