Nevermind this picture of the joker... though it is beautiful, right? I don't have much for today cause all I did was watch T.V. and fall asleep early last night. But, this Lupe Fiasco song that I had pretty much ignored has become my favorite song now. It is one of the few moments that I actually think of my father that I don't speak to, and haven't spoken to for almost 2 years now...
He Say, She Say
by
Lupe Fiasco
I can't, I won't, I can't, I won't Let you leave
I don't know what you wantYou want more from me?
She said to him"I want you to be a father
He's your little boy and you don't even bother
Like "brother" without the R
And he's starting to harbor
Cool and food for thought But for you he's a starver
Starting to use red markers on his work
His teacher say they know he's much smarter
But he's hurt Used to hand his homework in firstLike he was the classroom starter
Burst to tears Let them know she see us
Now he's fighting in class Got a note last week that say he might not pass
Ask me if his daddy was sick of us Cause you ain't never pick him up
You see what his problem is?He don't know where his poppa is
No positive male role model To play football and build railroad models
It's making a hole you've been digging it
Cause you ain't been kicking it
Since he was old enough to hold bottles
Wasn't supposed to get introduced to that He don't deserve to get used to that
Now I ain't asking you for money or to come back to me
Some days it ain't sunny but it ain't so hard
Just breaks my heart When I try to provide and he say 'Mommy that ain't your job'
To be a man,
I try to make him understand That I'm his number one fan
But its like you booin' from the stands
You know the world is out to get him, so why don't you give him a chance?
