The Son I Never Knew

That night was my first
I couldn't believe it was real
Something I would never do
Something I would fear

I didn't even know her
She was just a one-night stand
She was a girl who gave out
I was a boy longing to be a man

I went home that night
With a sick feelings in my pits
I felt horrible
I didn't love her the least bit

But I went to school bragging
I know all they guys did too
I was ruining a girl's rep
Just for something to do

She hated me for so long
She stopped looking at me that day
she was a drop out that year
N' There was nothing I could say

It was about 6 years later
I had a very good life
A girl I loved
What else could go right?

Yep my life was good
Until this very day
I heard from that girl again
That girl that I had played

She sent me an envelope
With a picture inside the sack
A lil boy by a tree
With "YOUR SON" in words on the back

I couldn't believe it
There's no way that kid was mine
I didn't listen to it
I just went on wit my life

A few years later
She sent me another letter
She told me the boy's name
And all he's done better

I decided to go see my son
But I wasn't going to take part
I had my own life
Enough love in my heart

I couldn't help but believe her
All that time I had a son of my own
But the thoughts left my mind
When I got back to my own throne

I never thought about that lil boy
He would get in the way
But I got another envelope
Who said my son died today

I can't get him out of my head
He was shot in a drive by
I want so badly to hold him
To look deep in his eyes

To tell him that I love him
To tell him that I care
To tell him that I'm sorry
For never being there

But I can't turn back time
There's nothing I can do
I hate myself more everyday
For never saying I love you

To all the dads who aren't there for they're kids... u should be... no matter what
