Daddy Was A Drunk

growing up with daddy who was always a drunk
now he’s cleaned up he’s a righteous fuck
i got an education in poverty and the street smarts to prove it hanging downtown on south main with the boozers and freaks till two a.m.
ten years old was the life for me at least that’s all i could foresee
daddy was a drunk with no regrets
mommy sold pot and snorted coke
mommy was an internet junkie on welfare with no hope
five kids, no dad, no future, no chance
