Take a Look at Me Now

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.

These words inspire. There's few things worse than having those who should support you not believe in you. Real tight piece
