My dad

(Verse 1) You turned your back, now I face the facts, Left your bloodline cold, heart full of cracks. Grandma gave all, you gave her pain, Screamin’ at the angel that carried your name. Fake love, now you cling to your mask, Kissin’ feet of a woman who lives in your past. Can’t face Mom, so you rewrite the tale, But truth don’t bend, and lies go stale. You vanished, ghosted, never called, Left me in the dark when I needed it all. Mom broke her back, you gave her none, Only paid what the system forced you to run. (Chorus) I ain't your shadow, I ain't your shame, I'm the kid in the dark who learned your name. You called me dumb, locked the light away, But now I spit fire every time I say— You failed me. Yeah, you broke what you made, Now I stand strong while your image decays. (Verse 2) “Burro,” you said, like I couldn’t grow, But I learned more hurt than you’ll ever know. Chains in the dark, yeah, I cried in the room, Now I rap that pain like a sonic boom. You ain't Dad, you're a ghost with a ring, Givin' fake hugs that don’t mean a thing. Never played catch, never taught me to fight, But I throw these bars with a left and a right. You broke the bond that you should’ve grown, Now I raise myself with a heart of stone. Family ain’t blood if the blood runs dry, So I bled these rhymes just to tell you why— (Chorus) I ain't your shadow, I ain't your shame, I'm the kid in the dark who learned your name. You called me dumb, locked the light away, But now I spit fire every time I say— You failed me. Yeah, you broke what you made, Now I stand strong while your image decays. ---
