ITS SO SAD THAT IN THIS SOCIETY YOU CANT SEE YOUR CHILD CAUSE YOU'RE BROKE...SO SAD THAT ALL IT BREAKS DOWN TO IS A CHECK THAT COMES IN THE MAIL.
THE GREATEST PRESENT THAT I EVER GOT FROM MY DAD WAS TIME...TIME TO LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF A CONFUSED YOUNG MAN IN A BRUTAL SITUATION...TIME TO TALK AS LIFE BECAME TO HARD TO BEAR.
WHEN MY SON DIED MY DAD BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE UNCERTAIN PLACE WHERE I HAD GONE TO MEND...HE SAID YOU NOW HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE.
THE ONLY TIMES THAT HE WAS NOT THERE HE WAS IN A WHITE MANS JAIL FOR NOT MAKING ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY A WHITE SYSTEMS CHILD SUPPORT.
EVEN THEN HE WAS MY HERO...EVEN WHEN MY MOM PUT HIM DOWN HE WAS THE ROCK THAT I RAN TO TO KEEP MY FEET ON SOLID GROUND.
THE FIRST TIME I GOT INTO TROUBLE WITH THE LAW HE WAS RIGHT THERE AT THE GATE WAITING FOR ME...MAD AS HELL BUT HE WAS THERE...HE DID'NT BEAT MY ASS BUT HE BEAT MY MIND.
THE DAYS THAT I FELT AS IF I MIGHT HIT A WOMAN JUST ONE TIME HE SAID IF YOU DO SHES ALREADY WON...PUT THAT SHIT RIGHT INTO PERSPECTIVE...TAUGHT ME TO LAUGH IN THE FACE OF PAIN.
OLD MAN YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN BROKE SOMETIMES AND DRANK SOME LIQUER BUT YOU WERE THE GREATEST DAD ON THIS WHOLE PLANET.
THATS WHATS LOST WHEN ALL IT COMES DOWN TO IS A CHECK IN THE MAIL.
