It all started June 1973.
The year young Todd was born and planted his feet.

On this earth that is. Not knowing yet what his purpose is,
but quickly found what being worthless is.

I never asked to be brought into this twisted life
through a man who took another mans wife and planted 3 seeds in her.

3 left handers, 3 share the Zodiac sign of Cancer,
3 of which I being the youngest one to hit the planet

No holy matrimony, only taughtmy pops was phony
said he didn't want me yet she spazz out like she don't want me.

Confused in the brain now i'm about 3 and some change,
don't understand why mom is packing her things.

Knocking food off the stove and things. Now i'm crying
Like "what a waist of all those hot dogs and pork & beans.

I could of ate that. She screamin like she crazy and I hate that.
Starting to feel i'm her frustration like I created that!

I'm I the problem yo? Could have been the lack of dough?
A better life she's askin fo? What really know what made
her pack and go?

She told my Dad "you better come gett these kids before
the state get these kids" "I'm out! I gotta live!"

Now i'm with my biological, he taught me to work and be
responsible He's cool at times but he was violent though.

He taught a good lesson to learn..Real Stern,
but brutal simple mistakes ment stiff jabsto the noodle

that was his way of lovin wasn't into kiss and huggin
far beyond tuff lovin getting snuffed for next to nothing

Swollen melon mommy fell in love with a felon and
moved to Cali her baby boy so unhappy.

Now we're tuffin it, our life was jacked up a bit.
Inherited a life of child labor with no work permits.

Young boys forced to be men. Barely the age of 10
under the whip like we're slaves again.

trying to place pieces, pops introduced me to Jesus and told
us we were believers. But it's hard to believe him

Not that i'm evil, but if God's love is tough as my fathers,
why bother? My life is garbage!

Now I find myself praying for things. If God is real he
need to start changing some things.

I didn't know, along he had a plan for my life .
He kept me hid from satans dominion and plan for my life.

Internally dealt with my pains of a broken home.
Eventually accepted the fact that mom is gone!

As I got older Dad realized that Todd is grown.
Became my friend instead of a tyrant who knotted my dome

He started a church out of our house and made our house a
home to minister to the block and others not our own.

He became a man of compassion helping those whose
lacking one day a doctor discovered a lump in his back and

his left leg is cracking, his lungs may collapse full blow
cancerous cells are attackin.

He made us plan for his death and pick out his casket
thoughts of loosing another parent is tragic.
