So many broken men So many broken women Plagued by the absence of a father Who knew life would be that much harder? Mum works her ass off to provide And fill the gap And Lord knows I'm grateful Because she never took no crap. From him Yeah, she made dude call To make it seem like he cared Never talked bad about him Because she didn't want my perception of him to be impaired So selfless, so true For a person so helpless, so cruel So many broken promises Lead to his reputation being tarnished, shit Looking for love In all the wrong men No father figure to look up to Not even my own kin That shit cut deeper Then a woman scorned Because how am I to grow through life with one parent? That's literally leaving me torn Can't believe this pain Won't leave but I gotta get this out You wasn't there to talk about my first kiss You wasn't there to see me ball You wasn't there to give me tips You wasn't there when I got that call To New Orleans to play for the Saints You wasn't there when I lost my Sun You wasn't there when I needed you Never there when I wanted you See Imma blacc man in Amerikkka Who still needs guidance I look for that on YouTube or the books I'm reading There's a misconception about a child with no father I'm seeing. It's more than presents on my birthday Or any type of money You were supposed to show me the way Be at my football games cheering in the crowd Like "hey, that's my boy!" Damn! What I would have paid for that Seeing my teammates brothers and dads at the games with their jerseys on Only made me feel low But my Mum was right there with my granny a And Tyuana and they had my jersey on! I'm not writing this to diss you, I'm merely speaking my reality I'm proud to let you know I'm 28 years old And didn't become no casualty to gun violence nor do drugs I have four daughters who I avidly give hugs Nah they won't go through life Not feeling their fathers love I'm an innovator, a poet, activist, and author Who would ever imagine being all this with no father? My mum held me down since I was formed in her womb Not even crazy that I can't say the same about you Honest
