What Kind Of
What kind of
cause you sure aint
none of the above
you want the title of mother
but you weren't there when
boogie man came
and I shivered under the covers
What kind of
you didn't watch me
the television set remained off
and I was forced to grow up
while you became someone else
you weren't even a
neighbor let alone
in my neighborhood
so what makes you
think that I should call you
" Mommy"
Just because DNA says I should
Dearest stranger
never around when I
was feeling any pain
but you always wanted
that thank you
before I got the sorry
I should be the parent
and get a belt and come
and spank you
all my life you've been tardy
What kind of mother were you?
Can you look me in the eyes
and answer me this question please
because all my life you've never been there
like a real mother should when her child
really needs.
