MY DEAR OLD DAD

When I first came along my dad was the best
But after my mother died he became worst than the rest

His first reaction to her death was to act like he couldn't feel
But then his problem became all to real

He started to work his self crazy and drink all too often
I wish he knew how much that wouldn't cost him

His drinking went form a habit to a full blown addiction
He lost his job and his mind went missing

We went from living the good life, to in the ghetto with the mice
Cause of my father's habit, me, my brother and sister paid the price

Before then I was never afraid of my dear old dad
Until he hit me cause of that drink he just had to have

My older brother tried to stop him, but he couldn't
I screamed at my father to stop hitting him, but he wouldn't

As time went by my dear old dad got worse
He let that drink become his curse

After awhile he couldn't go a day with out a drink
And the way he treated me had reach its peak

One night when I was older he came at me
I got so blinded with angry I couldn't see

I hit him so hard I knock him off his feet
After I did it my heart skip a beat

I could have kill him but I didn't
I wanted to but I just couldn't

But it turns out I didn't have to kill my dad, cause that drink already had
Now he's lying in a hospital bed looking pretty bad

It's ashamed what happen to my dear old dad
Cause he's about to die and that's sad
