M.I.A

If you take the time to create a life, you should stay to watch it grow.

M.I.A.

Looking in the mirror,
Asking myself the wrong question.
"Who am I?"
When it should be,
"Where are you?"
What kind of man creates a child,
Runs off,
Without ever looking back?
All my life I had to improvise who made up the other side
of me.
I could look at my mother and identify every characteristic
we shared,
Those we didn't caused me great pain and confusion.
Again I ask,

"Who am I?"
I know where I am,
But where are you?
I am a strong,
Intelligent,
Nurturing black man.
All this accomplished without you, but with you who
knows how much more I could be?
Because you were weak,
I had to call another man dad,
Damn,
Did that shit make me mad!
