Where is the black boys father in his time of need

no where to be found, his son turns to greed

young men, young women take heed

to the new trend grasping our men indeed

the name of it they say is , weed

i beg of you to stop , please

more & more roam the streets

come home, thats the place to be

but a fatherless boy needs his joy

a fatherless boy needs his thrill

a fatherless boy feels like he needs to deal

but what about your mother , you're her only son

no other

she does all she can for you,

protects you like a cover, this how you do her,

you must not love her

from sunrise to sunset ,

 your single mother working to ensure you get the best

selling you see, is settling for less

but the fatherless boy needs his praise

the fatherless boy needs his haze

an unknown attention seeker

the issues of the fatherless boy goes deeper

a mother who loves you dearly

blinded by your fathers abscence you cant see clearly

that motherly love is the only necessity

but you go after that money aggresssively like its your destiny

male to male he shoulda been there steering you right

but you taking that wrong turn left

a shortcut to death

you know whats good for you

main thing is school

but you disregarding that, you a fool

if only he had that father

why didnt he bother

just more and more lost causes

more and more hospital gauzes

more and more handcuffs being clamped

more and more records being criminally stamped

more and more blue caskets before eighteen

more and more boys trppin over that green

im tellin you that life aint what it seem

but without a father .. 

I bet to them it all looks like a dream .
