somewhere in Ohio.
Occupation
doin' me- full time.
my daddy.
so many things i need you to understand
you are my first, last, and only impression of a man.
so when i seen you beating on my moms, i thought that was ok
is it any wonder i ran to a man who beat me everyday?
when your whores knocked on the door to give me your money
you never taught me any different; i thought nothin funny
when you showed me how to sew to hide money in the couch
taught me how to cook cut measure 10 years old baggin a ounce
are you surprised that i ended up doin time too?
are you surprised that i was bangin these streets like you?

my daddy.
the only one who wanted me born on this earth
and you never let me forget it, how little i was worth
and you used it to death, coming in my room at night
but i wanted you to stay, so i closed my eyes tight
insisting you love me most while i endure being touched
and now i can't feel love unless im getting f***ed
i wonder why i associate affection with hurt
why i fall in love with any man who treats me like dirt
why money is all it takes to appease my soul
by my bedside next morning you left diamonds and gold
tennis bracelets and furs at the age of nine?
i was wearing your guilty conscience the whole time.
my brothers-you gave me away like one of your hoes
is it any wonder i fight any man who gets close?

my daddy.
all the drama in my life i could trace back to something you did
and i ask GOD what punishment made me your kid
many nights i've begged for death just for my heart to stop
trying to survive the legacy you left for me is a burden i cant drop
i hate you so much. i remember crying for you to save me, please
from the bruises and bumps, the scrapes life left on my knees
you never came- you created me your human monster and left
and i never learned to fully trust or love anyone else
and i hate you, daddy, but the saddest part of the whole thing
is that deep inside, i still just want you to love me...
