Unfortunately King


 

You were absent when I most needed you

I waited everyday at the door for you to come

My relationship with my mom was like glue

But I was missing a father figure which was supposed to be you

 

You were incarcerated and I get you couldn't come

But that's your fault for getting caught

My mom is so alone how could you be so dumb

If you come home your not my dad i'll still see you as a bum

 

I don't think you understand everything you left behind

It wasn't only me but a beautiful baby girl and boy

We were your kids, your responsibility, why can't you get that in your mind

Something as simple as your presence is something we could couldn't enjoy

 

Your getting out soon and that's good for you

But if you come home it will do less good and more harm

I hate you, Mom hates you, my brother and sister hates you and that’s the truth

So come home but you won't come home to open arms

 

I'm the king now, i'm the man of the house

You passed the throne to me but not intentionally

You left a beautiful queen behind, also known as your spouse

And as king now guess whos taking over your kingdom, me
