As I was a child, my parents were divorced,
Just as they seemed to be drifting apart I was sad.
When I was five, this all happened,
I couldn’t believe this growing up as a child.
Troublesome kids of my neighborhood,
They seemed to get me into trouble.
Soon I won’t seem to regret them for they’ll be good,
Just picking up my damaged pieces of rubble.
Look out for the children that will be bad I say,
Hungry as a child my momma once fed me.
As it was a big big world I grew up to be a good guy,
I was growing up as a child in this coldhearted world.
When I was about seven I had a pic with my brothers and daddy,
It looked all happy and smiley.
Just as my brothers wanted to be with daddy,
Just as we all looked all so happy.
Before I was ten, I was smaller than I thought,
Soon as I grew up I learned how to behave well.
Just I couldn’t see the smiles of my youth I forgot,
I was smiling so very much as I am today I can tell.
My childhood was somewhat of a good one,
Upside down it looked like a bad memory.
I had the best parents a child could’ve won,
A young child would be outside to laugh and play.
I foresaw my future once,
Just it was somewhat good.
I could’ve been good at the chance,
Don’t you be misunderstood?
I seek my glories as a child,
All of my goals were set.
Still got the divorced parent,
Just looking at the memories of that.
Look at what I’ve done in the past,
It wasn’t all that happy at times.
No, I’m not saying I was a sad child,
I couldn’t believe my parents thrive.
Once I was growing up as a child in my years,
I couldn’t have the happiest of my memories.
Just look at me, I’m a wreck with divorced parents,
That’s just the past memories that saddened me.
