I was fed, swaddled, and sometimes safe.

When the heat was off, I got cold and sick.

You almost lost me then.

I grew up worshiping a man never present

I looked for love but was met with torment

I found your drugs and followed suit

You almost lost me then.

In full bloom, I was off to battle to fight my father’s war

He was not there, but I found out what I stand for
