I loved him
Even though
He left me
Unprotected
Rejected
Feeling so neglected
That I decided to be a
Son
Baggy sweat pants
Reeboks with the strap
Feeling fly when guys gave my booty a slap
Cussing like a sailor
Rolling blunts like a pro
Doing something strange
for a piece of change
But never did he darken my door
Never did he tell me
About names like
Trick
or Hoe
When you're a daddy-less
Daughter
You learn this as you grow
You learn that
Being 2nd best
is better than
Being nothing at all
and
You're never overlooked
as long as you get involved
With a
Daddy-less
Son
Who don't mind
beating yo ass
when you get out of line
Putting you in your place
with his other females
So you get in line
to just be recognized
Get a little taste of
Love
Some comfort after being abandoned
by your first love
I loved him more
Because he left mama
to be the object
that I despised
It was all her fault
That daddy wasn't there to wipe my eyes
Then you wake up
and realize
It would have been better
if he had been sterilized
Cause if he was
I wouldn't be here
to have to fight
Myself
and all the real men
who show true concern
Been hurt by so many
So now
I can't discern
What is
Real
What is
Good
So I choose to thrive on
What is
Hood
