INTRO

Yeah

Dear Elly Grae
there’s a reason I made the choice to leave and do things my own way
And it’s important to let you know that
that reason...
was not,
Because of you!


VS1

...I Fell off of the PLANET and FACE-PLANTED!
Badly Damaged from the IMPACT
Embraced Landing
>When I DID!
Situation was bad
So I HID
No Communication,
>Losing Contact with my KID!

Know she’s wondering where her DAD up and went
While her mother collects checks
BASKING in my Absence!
>SINCE
...I’ve been GONE!
With
This route I’m ON!
Making Moves like a ROOK
Using my SPAWN as a PAWN!

It Dawned upon me Hard, how your Motive Was, DRAWN!
...And how ya Motor RUNS
>Why you DROVE me So YOUNG

>To BECOME!
A Grieving FATHER
Who BARELY
See’s his DAUGHTER!?
TIMES get HARDER!,
...>While His POCKETS are BEING SLAUGHTERED!


...Regardless of the Narcissistic Governmental tools
That People USE!
As an Excuse
When they >SEEK ABUSE
…We Reproduced >Because
>it was a THRILL >Seek ta DO!
>SPEAKIN’ TRUTH!
To Bend the RULES We Aren’t EQUAL TO!




HOOK

This is AlieNATION
WHERE men are
Replaced with imitations

Expendable to our GRAVES
Stuck KEEPING PACE
Chasing that feeling
Of pure EMBRACEMENT

This is AlieNATION
WHERE men are
Replaced with iMATATIONS

Just Memories to ERASE!
...BLED ENERGY
Treated like ENEMIES of the STATE!?

...>Now could he BE,
DEAD BROKE or >DEADBEAT?
...AS Long as He’s Resourceful?
They’ll PLAY Remorseful Wit’ their
Shame and Quarrels
Paintin’ a Negative
>PICTURE
About Me?!
In My CHILD’S JOURNAL?!
PARENTAL ALIENATION is NOT NORMAL!

...Nomadic escapEEs
Go oversEas!
Create a Longer rEach!
AND A GREATER Forum FOR PEACE!
Yet!
DRONIN! in their TALL VICE
ALL Night…
AND LOST SIGHT!
…>OF their LOT in LIFE?!
…LIKE it’s A SMALL PRICE!

…>What if I STAYED?
Would I get your respect THEN?!
Even get ENGAGED
When you
Really Detest MEN!
...WITHIN
NEEDED me STUCK
Like an OBEDIENT CUCK!
My HEART
BEATING but CRUSHED
You were SEIZING ME UP!

>On the CUSP
Of going BUST
>TRUST,
Right >THROUGH the DRAIN
>Throwing GAS upon the FLAMES!
>Then PROBED for
FUEL ta GAIN!...
>On the ROAD to
PURSUE THE CHANGE...
...As I get DRESSED in my Emotional MASK?
My PSEUDO NAME?!
And my SUIT OF PAIN!

Just wanted to be the one who provides,
nurtures, and guides
Apart of your life
Not an observer from a bird’s eye
…Feel like the worst kind of person….
>You don’t deserve just words,
…>so I’m encouraged to assert THEM

Highest percentage of the fatherless
epidemic
Lining up to pivot?
No one wins
however you spin it
...The facts matter
And so does the data
She showed to >be combative?
I chose to keep a back up

...Now it’s a broken home
Renovations postponed
Cuz I don’t condone
You in my face with that vocal tone
…(Nah!)
Now we are Single parents
On our own
Cursed to keep the cycle goin’ on
...
…>IS IT A COINCIDENCE
My FATHER wasn’t INTO HIS
MENTORSHIP
>Role, OR his KID
To show INTEREST?!
…>Definitely a BENEFIT
>TO BE Able to FLIP the SCRIPT!
And CONTROL how YOURS REMEMBERS IT!
