My Mothers Day Present
I was born August 20th 1986
Named Matthew - meanin that to u i was Gods gift
Gods kid - I guess he left u a special present
growin up poor - we was like modern day peasents
not much more - or nething for that matter
an if it matters - i dotn think i culdve been madder
I was pissed at everything - the kids around me
an u - when u caught me misbehavin an ground me
wanted to be ruler - wanted sum1 to crown me
but instead most the kids didnt understand an clowned me
But when I came home I would have to listen to you get mad
because I was so mad - eventually started scribbling in notepads
tryin to release anger an relax myself
cuz i knew if i didnt - i just might relapse myself
Now I can back myself - but back then I couldnt
I was too busy gettin laughed at to laugh myself
I need to vent sumtimes - i guess u do to
u say im just like him he says im just like you
U say Im just like him - Im not at all
hes 5'8 tops - I 6 feet 2 inches tall
Hold me down when ppl complain I play my music to loud
cuz all my life I just wanted to make u proud
an thank u now - cuz i feel like we finally clicked
i aint mad at u - An i aint mad at shit
Im happy - lifes seems to be workin out
my life has gotten a lot better since i started workin out
maybe its the confidence it finally gave me
maybe its the fear it gave them who hate me
u say im just like him - an i just might be
but naw - i aint like no1 - im just like me
