Everything is not Okay

I could lie and say
that everything is okay
but I don’t lie anymore
so I’ll give you a little more
Truth, you need to hear
my son, now, lives in fear
because you don’t care
when shit hits the air
still, I will keep my word
and, to him, it’s absurd
but I keep my promises
even if you don’t honor us
when my bank’s back
and life’s fully in tact
I’ll take care of all you
who never thought I’d do
everything I set my mind to
and created despite you
and your false beliefs
that have, only, caused grief
for my son and me who
stick together like glue
it’s sad I can’t say the same
for y’all and me, it’s so lame
I’m not saying this for fame
the fact, I have to say it is lame
oh well, it is what it is
I’m no longer a kid
so, I forgive you two
and all the things you do
that show us no love
square it with God above
