It Aint Fair

It ain't fair at all
To the children we brought into this world
Let 'em see us argue and go back and forth
It ain't fair at all
There's a war happenin' growin' up
Feelin' like it's their fault
And we were the cause of it

Only 14 years old, body fully developed
Lived at home with two parents, the dude wasn't her daddy
Her momma yelled at him and appeared to stay mad at him
But truth has it, that wasn't what that was
I hate to say it, her mom was really jealous
And intimidated by everything
That she had made in this beautiful baby
Fucks me up till today, cause it's crazy
What she wanted to be in life, is what she created
Youngest thang in the 10th grade, envisionin' graduatin'
Movin' her family outta the place where they stayed
To this pretty place, out there where the rich folks be
With the softest green grass ever felt by feet
But her dream it would be shattered like a fallin' vase
Comin' home to a note left for her on a kitchen table
How much could you explain on one sheet of paper
If what you wrote down wasn't even half a page

You know he coulda been whatever he wanted
If his folks hada got behind him
Pushed him out a little bit further
See sometimes the smallest things be enough
To give us what we need to exceed
And crossin' hills and the hump
But when you grow up in a home always remindin' 'em of
The man they say gave the responsibility of
How much at 13 do you think that your life would be worth
If folks you growed up trustin' were who was sayin' it to you
He come home later everyday when he leave school
Cause on his way home there's somebody that he talks to
Feels close to him and pretty soon
He gon' drop out of school and assume the life to be a right one
