This is the most passionate piece I have ever done... I am an audio for it to but I like doin this one at poetry slams more...
[Verse 1]
Face pain... a father that I never knew
but I maintain... growin farther than I ever grew
remember who?... ain't even met the man
but I know not knowin made me a better man
i been a man... i can walk on my own two
college educated that I bought on my own too
nah... i got a dad... you ain't still
taught me how to tie shoes you can't fill
went from 19 houses in nineteen years
so when my mind seemed clouded I wipe these tears
and I might see fear, when i look in the reflection
i'm the only person that I look at fa protection
i know where i'm headed... you best trust
that I already fixed what you messed up
my soul and concious has never been in danger
so let this stay some letter from stranger
[Verse 2]
When i first found out it hurt to be lied to
mother jus hopin that turn to a bible
huh huh huh panic fa breath
like don't have any left
manic depressed this man is a mess
hands on my chest... pulse is racin
can't speak words jus full of hate n
jus waitin for it to make sense
but more I think about it, the more i jus hate this
eyes blood shot, defined as a bastard
so many questions i'm tryin to answer
tears did come but i'm dryin em faster
cryin fa lies cuz inside it's a cancer
My heart... you won't tear
the only thing that hurts is knowin you don't care
but you weren't there... I don't regret that
cuz I see cowardess and I don't respect that
[Verse 3]
Now don't think for a second that i'm reachin out
and you can save ya breath homie i don't need it now
i see ya proud... but you HAVE to get it
what you did to my mother was past pathetic
your the reason she had to stay a single mom
at 19... like notta thing was wrong
you jus split... try sayin I wasn't yours
I'm not mad, i'm jus sayin what was it for
i mean get real... you gotta feel bad
knowin every day thatcha notta real dad
your a clown... and I promise you this
theres only one reason that i'm honestly pissed
you beat up my mother over child support
and for that... have this child's support
I'm Marc Alan Nichols I'll forever confess too
this will be the only time i ever address you
