why must i act like a father at the age of eighteen
chances to expirience childish things escaped me
left feelin empty, still not grown but raising a seed
being punished for lack of clarity, witness desparity
look in my eyes to see a life long sacrafice
wasted my youth to raise another right
can't believe what i coulda been
but because one night of passion
i lost my friends and gained responsablity
feelin lousy, lost, and left being lonely
im in need of a true friend to hold me
phony is the lifestyle thats over hyped
it aint right livin life regreting one night
now im stuck as a role model at too early an age
living with decisions i made, in pain,the worst way
too cool for condoms, that is just an oxymoron
like how a one night stand cant be prolonged
my god, please, what did i get myself into
the wrong girl without thinking it through
i guess it's my own fault, maybe i should have listened to my pop
parents can be right, thought not, now i gotta live with what i got
a kid nearing age three constantly looking up to me
it's so hard to control the unforseen but im trying
i acknowledge the mistakes that i have made
using them to teach, patience is the road unpaved
so someday my son will know you can go your own way
this knowledge i will engrave in his brain and he will retain
the fundamental values of the truth
the world revolves around the youth
and it's up to you, what path you choose
lifes not a game, you dont just win or loose
you can either follow or lead
either way do the right thing
and remember life is a journey and not a race
slow down there is no thropey for first place
especally in this case, but im not a disgrace
cuz i have learned from the problems i faced
and now i procliam my son will be much better then me
for he has learned life long lessons from his dad at age 18
