One of Ga's Finest

“M.F.” by GoodestAll I ever wanted was you from the moment I grew Inside the womb because that process takes two And mama was there as she has always been But it hurts me in my soul to know I was conceived in sin I guess that’s why you never laid your hands on my heart Since with some of my siblings, you’ve been there from the start Still when I was a child, you received my innocent love Because mama gave me the teachings of the man up above And I wanted you in my life, and believe me I tried But my every advance was swiftly denied Do you know how that feels in the heart of a child The cause of many tribulations and trials Noticeable scars all to the mind and the soul Neglect is the weapon that turns the heart cold Producing pure hate because the heart is deprived But everyone knows the strong will survive And mama gave me love, the source of my strength And where were you on my sweet 16th You didn’t teach me to drive or help me develop my shot So I strive to be all that you’re not You didn’t teach me to fight or how to holler at girls You left it up to a woman to shape a man’s world But I don’t hate you, even though I once did Because there’s only two emotions in the heart of a kid But I’m a man now, and that’s no thanks to you And since I was a child, the anger just grew I want to fight you, just one real good time That’s the only way I know to get the stress off my mind But I can’t do that, mama said it’s in vain So guess what, I got to live with the pain And it hurts for 1440 minutes a day But I know there’s a God, and through Him, you will pay Because He gave me life, but I came through you And I was raised by one, it should have been two And mama worked hard to keep food on the table And taught me that there were better things than fine clothes and cable But she defended your ass and I never knew why Since you had the finer things that money could buy And we were poor, truly poor indeed Nothing that we want, but everything we need And I was rich, I know that’s misunderstood But mama was teaching me the power of good And I couldn’t help but learn since she talks so loud Even though I know she isn’t completely proud Since I haven’t forgiven you, though I pray I one day can But it will take some time, I’m only a man And you’re a sucker, even though you look like a man But I had to come through you, it was in His plan And a mistake is all that He can’t make And I know that only He can sooth the ache So I pray for the strength to forgive, to ease the pain that I live The pain that I live, you caused the pain that I live Cause all I wanted was you since all I had was a mother I wish I had a father, instead I got a motherfucker
