Can't Even Imagine
No one understands how these kids felt
Getting tore up by a belt
He called 'em up and their hearts began to melt
Hung their life by two chords
Cut them deeper than three swords
Thrown down a river strung to four boards
Their minds filled with darkness
Cuz their dad was heartless
But I'd never let them part less
They desire
Cuz they gone use this fire
Don' let your eyes tire
Til you've got higher
I'd go back and plea
Tell him leave it be
Coulda kept a good thing
Strung to a ring
But that's down the drain after he began to sing
"Oh baby, I know we had four
No matter
If your hearts still sore
Feelin pain down to the core
I never wanna see you enter
Through the motherfuckin door
I fucked another whore"
It rings through my head
As if I were the one
To whom it was said
Not taking the cred
It wouldn't be fair,
My parents, they care
About us as a whole
They live by a motto
That all acts have a toll
Listenin to the soul
It will score that goal
The parents' dream
Their childs face.., with a smile
What a gleam!
Even if he tore their seam
Barely hangin' on the beam
They never let out a scream
But if all they hear
Are the words they fear
Or what causes them to tear
The whore's motherfuckin cheer
As the father starts out: dear
"I fucked her here"
One must ask permission
Cuz we had no premonition
For what the reasons are
For causin' such a scar
In four potential stars
But now they've had their life
Torn, ripped and spun out of control
"Oh baby, I know we had four
No matter
If your hearts still sore
feelin pain down to the core
I never wanna see you enter
Through the motherfuckin door
I fucked another whore"
Screwed a family that was fully functional
Shaping kids to think its sensual
To steal and manipulate
But we discriminate
Tell them there's more to life
Than this trait
Glide them in the right direction
Show them the correction
Stop the recollection
Of what their father said
What the fuck was goin' through his head
He's a stupid predator
Preyin' on kids walkin' through the door
They're so young
With a little lung, barely able to breathe
His words cut them like a sheathe
Stringing them tighter then a wreathe
It's fucking charmless
They're harmless
Let them out of their harness
Trapped to them like a carcass
These words shake their core like maracas
"Never enter through that motherfucking door"
