How do I call him daddy


How do I call him dad? When he makes my world crawl and scrolls Back to evil. When he turns my butter to bitter. How do I call him daddy? He just turned my life back to square one Back to the misery I experienced back in those days. How do I call him daddy? Where everything seemed impossible and world turned against me. Almost losing my life to these vulnerable valtures of dark forest Thats smelling seeds of dirty deeds indeed. How do I call him daddy? Getting things was like getting Xmas once in a year. As he took his time to deliver in time. Now he's to proud of well educated son, that je never truly support throughout this lifetime journey. How do I call him daddy? Gone are those days where you made a yoh! yoh! like a bounce ball. Gone are those days when I could stand for my own and deliver for myself. Today I am a man of my words Man of my own. How do I call him daddy? My grandmother Made me believe She made me stronger As I was weak Appeared when I lost hope and smelling death under the shadow of death. She made me She built me She produced a man. Am man that I am proud to call Bulelani Happyboy Mbanya. Through sorrows and shame Through sores stored in sails of pain in Spain. Through heavyweight spells and sores of life. I am still alive. How do I call him daddy? By Bulelani Happyboy Mbanya
