Uncle You Can'T Eat My Bride Price

uncle you forgot you had a niece you work in glasses you wear the best clothes you reign in shinning shoes you eat the world at once you send your kids to fly you pretend to care you pretend to call you live comfortably while I get bitten. while I bail water outta my house. while I try to be me. while I sip garri getting fever and my sight bad. there's a million reasons why I should get mad. Because you have more to waste and not a look back at your family. I beg to buy books I cry to pay fees I plead to register I try to finish up getting a man to be my hubby. then you come in mass to request with your legs open, a price bigger than your entire bodies. when you have no clue of how a child was trained. you don't eat where you didn't sow. you can't eat my birth price. no! you can't.
