She said now sit down so I can tell you something Dont talk because it wont help nothing She said on june 25th the day you were born My beautiful life had just been torn She said i could have went to school and had a career But having you ruined it and I had to stay here She said Girl do you know how many men wanted to have me But since you were home I could never leave She said none of my friends had kids you messed shit up I guess you were just an object of my bad luck She said I was only 16 when I got pregnant And ima tell you from the start we never even meant it She said we were young and didnt have nothing better to do How could being so stupid ruin my life too She said all my momma said was I was a nasty slut And you better get something to hide that gut She said cuz when your daddy get home ima tell him you cant stay here no more And you better be 3 minutes from walking out the damn door She said and your daddy didn't want to claim you so You know what I did, I had to work on the corner and be a ho She said you aint know your momma lowered herself and sold her ass Just so I could get some cash and we wouldnt wind up in the trash She said and then the government wanted to give us some help And they got us this shitty ass house on 99th in phelps She said and then they found me the job at the store And then they said with the money I would have more She said fuck that we still wear raggedy clothes And are drapes and curtains still have those damn holes She said and thats why I had to quit the job at the store Because the government was right we did have more She said we had more of the same shit we had before And I need to work for that shit, what the hell for? She said so we aint got no money and we need to move out So tomorrow were going to be homeless and broke flat the fuck out She said I owe the bill collectors $20,000 But the govt. said they would help, yet, Ill be evicted in about 9 hrs. She said if you wouldn't have been born I could have been something But now I dont got no money, no house, no nothing She said i'm glad you didn't talk because I hate you I hate your voice and the sound it makes too She said so tomorrow you'll be on your own She said yes, you'll be out in the world all alone She said dont get pregnant because you'll make a big mistake You could be like me and miss your chance to be something great She said you can be ignored by your family and friends And watch your life slowly just start to end She said you can stand on the corner and be some hoe And get fucked so much you wont even say the word no She said and I aint got nothing but you left And I dont even wont you cuz you turned my life into this mess My momma had a talk with me this was the 4th and last time this week
