Rumor Has It

Rumor has it..........
that he's broke.
His wife is selling coke
to keep her family afloat.
Hearing the news,
momma had a stroke.
In a pool of her own tears,
she must soak.
There kids don't listen.
Did I forget to mention?
She is pregnant by someone else.
How he must have felt?
Oh my goodness he grabbed his belt.
Got to deal with the cards
he has been dealt.

Rumor has it....
She gave him the package.
He is a serial killer.
Something out of a thriller.
Because of her he hates every woman on Earth.
Even the woman responsible for his birth.

Rumor has it.....
She killed her son.
Family and friends were stunned.
She said she did not want anymore.
Just wrapped him up and
just left him on the floor.
Now she's crying cuz she can't 
bring him back.
Expecting the public to 
cut her some slack.
Life doe not work like that.
Sweetie, no excuses 
You are straight wack
