Victim of Enviroment



I tried to help my kids along
But somehow things went wrong

I guess it's true it has to do with family genes
Because mine were good and their fathers no good it seems

I'm sorry I take that  back it isn't that at all
It was that their father decided to go against the law

My kids grandmother sold herself to make ends meet
So she could feed them, clothe them and put shoes on their feet

But do you think they learned by her mistake
No they didn't oh my God for goodness sake

I am not sitting here in judgement of his mother
Because, she was uneducated, but loved them like no other

She was a victim of her enviroment you see
Now my children expect me like her to be
That's something impossible, for I have to much entegrity
