Listen up fella

Man to man...
We gotta have a plan
A way for u to truly understand
There are certain things I won't stand
For
Nor allow
Our relationship is one of smoke and magic..
Its tragic
Cuz u seem to have no clue..
Of the disdain I feel for u...
I'm not that little boy.
Can't appease me with a couple bucks or a shiny toy..
Its a certain disconnect..
And though I feign respect
I find it hard to keep my anger in check..
U let someone else raise me
used to talk to me bout those old African ways see...
But it wasn't our family
From what I was told
Ur new wife didn't want me around...at 10/11 I was too old
Wanted to lay
Down the law on report card day
Cuz the I didn't get a single A.
Then I would get in trouble...couldn't go to my dad..
For fear this dude would get mad...
Don't even have father to son talks that sad...
Feel like I'm stuck in the past...
How long will this crap last
For the record I'm 32...
With my own point of view...
With about 13 tattoos
Since 16 been doing things my way...
So on my life u don't really have a say....
That was back in the day....
If u want a better relationship u gotta go a long way
One Love
