I hit a nail with a hammer
When my father was in the slammer
My mama thought she was a
Bad mamma jamma
I wore my heart on my knee
Because it needed comforting
When I turned 14 I was glad to be a teen
A year later I woke up on concrete
Felt like I was in a third world country
I knew self defense so no one
Could punch me, no bologna
Straight up lunch meat
Annie had a fancy fantasy
No Daddy Warbucks for me
Though the knocks were hard
No doors were answered
Which reindeer is Prancer?
I was caught up in a Blitzen
When I spoke nobody listened
Cried all alone no shoulder
To lay my head on
Like an organist playing out of tune
It all sounds wrong
One day I made a decision
To turn it around by making
It my mission now everyone
Is listening intrigued and wondering
After being locked out without
A key how did I get in?
