Before I release the next song
This is all true and I paint a picture how bad stuff got sometimes for me
Not saying my life was the worse nor do I say my life was worse then anyone elses
Anyway this is day 74
Day 74: Step-Father
Let me tell you a story all about me and some of the things in my memories
Now before we get into this, let me remind you that it’s not all bad
But some of this [spoiler]shit[/spoiler] kinda makes me sad
Like I remember a day I was caught climbing a tree
And my step-father decided to beat the [spoiler]fuck[/spoiler] out of me
I’m not talking about a clip round the ear, or a slapped bum
But the kind of beating I would be screaming for my mum
Please mum, stop this man, I only did what most kids did
I don’t deserve any of it
She’d say, maybe you shouldn’t of
And now your suffering the consequences of your actions
I was so shocked at her reactions
And then there was a time when a shop gave me too much change
Somehow my step-father thought I was to blame
He said “You probably think I’m stupid maybe”
And then he threw a coin at me
It hit my head and as it bleed
“No I don’t” I think I said
As i sobbed and cried out in pain
He said “Don’t ever answer me back again”
Step-father, believe it or not
I forgive you, I haven’t forgot
I remember the way you treated me
Differently from the rest of the family
He gave me a time he expected me back from school
If I was even five minutes late he would get crule
Where the hell have I been what was I doing
Like I did something bad, well I’m assuming
So as the time for school got cut, I would lie
Just to give myself a little more time
So I could avoid another beating
I wanted to avoid another beating
He never wanted me to further myself
“When you live under my roof, this is my world”
The day I finished school, he told me I need to get a job
I need to pay my way because rent is going up
I wanted to go to collegue and become something great
But he decided for me and it kinda sealed my fate
I know what I am saying is [spoiler]fucking[/spoiler] awful
And could easily say that he was at fault
But it’s okay, I finally have the respect I wanted back then
And know now I won’t get another beating again
Step-father, believe it or not
I forgive you, I haven’t forgot
I remember the way you treated me
Differently from the rest of the family
Note: I’m not looking for sympathy, just wanted to tell the story. As the chorus suggest, I have forgiven him, but I will never forget.
