Who's to say
My daddy beat my mama,
My mama was in tears,
Which left me with alot of fears,
My daddy behind bars,
He left my mama stuck paying all the bills,
And me hiding all my fears,
When my daddy was sometimes near
My mama was only trying to make her kids dreams come true,
When one day,
Our mamas life was taken away,
Who's to say what truly happened on that day,
But the man i call daddy and my two year old brother,
But hey he was to young to say how our mamas life was taking away.
Now my daddy is here to stay,
Here he is at my house today,
Who is this man i call daddy some people may say,He is the man i believe hurt my mama that day.
