Take a look at me now
cuz you never thought I would make it
You never thought I would see this day
You did everything to stand in my way
You told me I was a disgrace
You gave me an ugly face
I heard those names she called me
You said that I'd never amount to anything
and that's something you believed
Damn near had a heart attack
when they said I achieved
Take a look at me now
cuz over thirty years ago you decided to walk out that door
didn't want to be a part of my life anymore
you wanted to hurt my mom
and thought abandoning me would even the score
I thought a man's daughter was something a father adores
but you picked and chose and sadly a life with me you did lose
You go ahead and do what you do
Take a look at me now
friends for life that's what i thought I was
i was willing to die for the cause\then you stabbed me in the back
what type of mess is that?
how was i supposed to react?
What type of friend does that?
You helped me to fall
but laughed when we balled
smoking weed and drinking alcohol
went to jail and you didn't answer my call
you didn't drop me ne mail
you didn't help with my bail
you threw me to the slums
now look what I've become
acknowledge my crown
smile now cuz you laughed when i was down
you kicked my name in the ground
you didn't think my life would turn around
"Bishop Da Write," that's a beautiful sound
to my mother, my grandmother, my sister, and my kids
thank you for the support
and all the lovely things you did
never left me alone, together we did a bid
take a look at us now
cuz our pain paid off big.
