Father I’ve accepted the fact that you wasn’t there Didn’t know how to feed or how to care Wandered the streets till the daylight hours When you should of been home tucking us in bed I understand you had your own demons Made to be a father at a young age You started drinking a little Smoking a little Till life was all fucked/screwed up Yea it fucked/screwed me up inside knowing you didn’t care Knowing you rather be with a whore Rather than kissing your family good night You didn’t notice us changing right before your eyes Didn’t notice us running the streets coming home with the colors of the block Told me to do my homework knowing I hadn’t been to school in weeks Hiding in the bars from your own seed You didn’t notice me when I came home drunk trying to be like you Only to find out that I had been raped too You never said “Baby how was your day?” Rather instead say “Get the fuck out of my way.” You never knew of the love I had for you You never knew how much I cared You never knew how much I wanted to say “Daddy, I love you.” You will never know.
