Your loving son..


Ive been thinking bout you a lot lately..
Maybe a little too much..
Breath stinking roaches on my tooth brush..
Wishin i was on the road cooking like a food truck.
no wishes granted
hate waking up now cus school sucks..
 
 
Eyes tearing up.
Wish i had some easy e glasses 
This class aint easy how is he passing?
Group evaluations
Peer reviews always calling me out
I wish mtv would come come take a tour of my house..
 
 
Imean if they can even get in. Its pretty sad boy 
The door 
Locks messed up like when they signed to bad boy
No furniture at all
No table no couch
Bed on the floor.
Scars on my legs
From springs pokin out.
Its a struggle no doubt.
 
 
Been calling off too much at the daycare..
Lifes hard but why would they care..
They just need someone to watch the children 
Feel like a child
When i step a food inside the building 
Boss watching me like i watch them thats why i feel them..
 
 
Everybody countin on me feeling like i failed them 
Like a broke calculator. 
So much disappointed. 
Speaking of witch im already late for this appointment 
With my counselor but what really is the point man?
 
 
She just gone grill me about missing class.
And how im messin up the semester fast.
They say just move on but its so hard to forget the past 
I just hope i pass something. 
Cuz i aint work and get this far for nothing 
 
 
Always told me when you grow up
 its not easier
it gets harder.
thought i could do it 
wished i thought farther 
I thought i knew a lot
But its so hard to tell your girl its gonna be ok when you dont know if its the truth or not
 
 
Try to listen to some music just to ease the problems
On shuffle 
pac talking bout his moma
Never could relate..
Cuz livin in another state
How could she ever put food on my plate.?
 
 
But i dont hate naw
Of course i missed her
And tammy was more like an older sister
Cant replace the one who birthed me.
But if anyone could do it man im sure she.
Would be the one in the first seat.
Wouldn't cross me even in a church seat.
 
 
She did the best she could.
Raising 5 kids dont look easy.
Little brother always tryna be me.
They be looking up to me
But am i the best role model?
Am i the one that they should follow?
 
 
I Wish i was the leader tati is
I wish i was as smart as aiden
And had the heart of gavin always tough.
And like taya be the that everybody loves
I just wanna be the one that you are proudest of
 
 
And im not even proud of what im doing  now.
So how can you be.
I worked hard to get to ub.
And now im hardly working.
Making excuses..
If everything you hate is reebok
Right now the shoe fits
Thats what the truth is..
 
 
You were always so hard on me..
Me being defensive 
I never learned the lessons.
Gassed my self up like idegestion 
Told myself i dont need you 
I praid for independence 
Be careful what you wish for cuz you get it.
 
 
Now im on this train 
2 shifts
Got Assignments due
Wishing that i had more time wit you.
I appreciate you..
Im sorry and i wish that i was better
I hope i make you proud  next semester 
Your loving son.
