*edit*almost didn't make it

Mom told me he was great, the best man she ever met
Said he worked long nights and days, n never slept
I imagined he looked a lot like me but older,
My mom was a bit timid, but I tried to be bolder,
To be like him; I mimiced the image in my mind
And held close the only picture I could find.
I had to grow up quickly, as my momma always worked;
N she tried dating, but relations got her hurt
Not like my pops… I wished he was a live…
N tho I didn’t remember him, I missed him n I cried.
For my mother, my half sister, and for my brother
All innocent lives, that were forced to suffer….
And as the oldest, I knew I had to be the one
To do anything I could to see some funds…
So I got caught up in the street life, not to see ice
But because I knew how we were livin couldn’t be right
N my pops wouldn’t allow it,if he wasn’t in heaven
So I got some product, and a couple of weapons…
To be on the safe side… I never expected to shoot
But I was prepared to anything to get us some loot
When my mom found out, I was unable to stop
Cuz she didn’t find out til the day I got knocked.
She was devestated cuz I’d be locked in a cell,
To dwell in what she had thought of as hell…
I told her I just wanted to do right, for my fam
To be exactly what my pops was like as a man
She looked thru the glass pissed… eyein me, and stopped
“Your dad ain’t dead, he just got life when he got locked.”

All my life I've wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific - Jane Wagner

Works for me. I've had a horrible night, the wife's ill, the baby's ill, you know how it is!

I'll drop tomorrow as well.
