FRIENDS
We met at the coffees shop for a date
Soon after I was two months late
We would chat on facebook and on the phone
But when he hung up I felt all alone
Didn’t know how to tell him I had his child
You know how men get, going all buck wild
Like he is carry the baby 12 months and change
All I can say is afterwards he started acting strange
We were friends with benefits more benefits than friends
And ladies and gentlemen that’s usually how the story ends
Friend’s lover brothers must meet
Which one are you
Which one is me
Friends lover brothers must meet
Which one are you
LOVERS
I met her in campus, we had the same class
I knew from day one that this would last
She cooked for me and washed all my clothes
She was a Christian girl, not like those campus whores
We fooled around a little until it got serious
I wanted her so bad I become delirious
She was wise so she sat me down and said
Let’s consummate our love on our marriage bed
We struggled but we waited and now he’s come
Our beautiful angel is now 3 months and some
We may have a couple more maybe 2 or 3
But I’m blessed to be a father and have a family
A family a family a family
Like John whose 40, single and famous
For getting all the young girls naked in his primus
He has 2 kids 0r 4 by different baby mamas
A son and a daughter raised without fathers
He hit it and ran no friend or lover
They were on night stands or some story or other
He doesn’t provide and he think it’s cool
He escaped being another woman fool
Friends lover brothers must meet
Which one are you
Which one is me
Friends lover brothers must meet
Which one are you
BROTHERS
A real father is there for his children regardless
Of how the baby got into this world in the first place
So he slept with your mother anyone can take that space
A real dad is an investor with a little more grace
With a strong back,a good heart, a double edged sword
Teaches you how to read to pass exams
And how to get on that heavenly abode
Teaches you how to play soccer, swim and how to pick your fights
How to be a man a good person, how to live your life right
I therefore dedicate father’s day to those who don’t have one
Maybe he bailed out on you, maybe by death he is gone
We have a father and a friend who sticks closer than a brother
WE have Pastors we have lifegroups but best of all we have each other
So don’t hustle on your own my dear single mother
Don’t be bitter about your past God can give you a hotter brother
Don’t concentrate on what you cant change it is what it is
Just raise your boo boo right and be about your fathers biz
Because you daddy is now their daddy so they are not all alone
Best part is they will thank you when they are all grown
And to all the real fathers’ stands I salute you, stand up
I would toast and salute you if I had a cup
You give single mums like me hope that not all men leave
May God increase and bless all you achieve
May you be a father to others, to mentor and love
Teach the boys to be vigilant the girls that true love is from above
We acknowledgment you and congratulate you every day
