Parents Just Don't Understand
So it begins…
parents think they know the problem yet they only pretend
they have theirs ideas of where it begins but don’t know where it ends
you’re a prisoner in your own home the loneliness stems
a branch to the tree of life, you take a hold of a glimpse
to this reality that can be seen through the hole in the fence
a life time of bottled stressed…yes your soul’ll be tense
when you try to tell em what’s wrong but you’re alone in this shit
now throwing a fit’s the only way for them to notice your scent
the aroma’s intense, you feel as if you can die any minute
they lay the ground rules then wanna say the sky is the limit
contradicting themselves, it helps…yea! If I could forget it
but who forgets there own parents being your guide in to sinning
am I condescending…of course! When the reason’s a spoof
getting punished for talking back when I was speaking the truth
asking opened ended questions, expecting for me to dispute
you see what they do is try to trick us and then lead us into
unreasonable actions half of us receive this abuse
verbally but the other half of us just scream and we bruise
it’s seen in the proof from the face of a scarred teen in it’s youth
and when mom and dad’s confronted they try to flee with excuse
believe it it’s true…we need space but they confine us
saying we can go out, but we turn around and they’re behind us
it’s like a telepathic strangle, where they only keep us alive just
to make life a living hell, but they’ve taught us that suicide sucks
well if I must…I guess that I’ll bash and disrespect em
flipping my father off telling mom she can kiss my rectum
“you wanna know my problem” well…. you got a kid… protect em
Treat em like people cause you have an image and it reflects em
You wanna suggestion, don’t think milk stays fresh and it never sours
And if you claim you miss your child, get a job with better hours
Buying gifts wont make up for shit, you’re both already cowards
You’ll see my middle finger clearer after confetti showers
Cause every hour you’re not here you come up with different reasons
Then you complain when grades are low or assignments are incompleted
Remember my essay paper? Oh I forgot, you didn’t read it
Well it explained how much I loved you, but now I should switch the meaning
Go ahead to your shitty meetings, have fun, then tell me how
You cant make it to my game, but explain what your next sales about
You do real estate, but in the realer state you failed you child
So mom, dad…? When you get this message can you please come bail me out
