Stepfather

[Chorus]
I hate you Tony cause you made my mother cry
You’re in the wrong I hope that you apologize
I hate you Tony cause you made my mother sad
I hate you Tony and I’ll never take it back

For a minute you were the man in our lives
You was there but never there, your heart was black as the night
My mother sacrificed you took advantage of that
I was too young to understand exactly what was at hand
A married man but how were we supposed to know
Showered her with roses there was poison in the bowl
A coward with a sour soul
Embarrassed of what’s trying to keep us under your control
Only Lord knows how my mother felt after my pops
I mean I know you know we needed help
Instead you gave her Hell
Uh, I hope this message doesn’t reach you well
And if it does, look in the mirror just to see yourself
It’s fucked up we still got them pictures on the shelf
We should take them down soon
You used to laugh when I would play my music ‘round you
I was just 11 Tony that was such a foul move

[Chorus x2]
I hate you Tony cause you made my mother cry
You’re in the wrong I hope that you apologize
I hate you Tony cause you made my mother sad
I hate you Tony and I’ll never take it back

The man of the house but never was a father figure
You disappeared in ‘07, it was after winter
My mother down upon the ground, why‘d you have to kick her?
Streams running down my eyes while I hold my sister
You don’t know me Tony, don’t think you ever did
You never thought to make the effort when I was a kid
And if you don’t remember nothing please remember this
My mother gave herself to you just so we could live
One day you’ll get what you deserve and that’s just how it goes
Karma always come around, Tony so you know
The pain you put my mother under but she fucking rose
She turned everything you threw into a pot of gold

[Chorus x2]
I hate you Tony cause you made my mother cry
You’re in the wrong I hope that you apologize
I hate you Tony cause you made my mother sad
I hate you Tony and I’ll never take it back

[Outro]
Never ever, yeah yeah
