What Now

What Is it you want
To take from me now
Why do you always kick me
When I am down

What is it you need
That you don't already have 
I've given you everything
Done all that I can

What is it you seek 
From my empty pockets
I'm down to pennies
My moves must be cautious 

What is it you hate 
About your son's father so badly
I am a good dad
But you keep taking shots at me

What is it you like
About seeing me struggle 
You added a deck to my stack
Now it's hard to shuffle

What is it you think
Your gonna get from me
Our son has a good father
But you see me unworthy 

What is it your doing
I won't give up it's a fact
Your not winning at all
You cant burry this dad
