'My Ungrateful Child'
© Raul Cortes Jr. 7-27-19
You think you get a free-pass because you worked on rebuilding yourself.
You blame me for your lack of success & threat killing yourself.
I gave you a basketball court, video games & nice clothes, you should be proud of my love.
(Spoil - "Diminish or destroy the value or quality of").
I don't understand how you won't appreciate what I've done.
I pay bills & put food on the table & you still peg me for not having fun.
Stop playing the victim & creating excuses.
You complain about how I didn't give you my time, or cosign your muses.
If watching TV is my favorite hobby, I earned the right.
So don't feel neglected or expect me to invest in you, just because you learned to write.
What are the chances of you, becoming a successful rapper?
Do you realize the odds? Don't be ignorant, the cost of climbing that ladder.
The family leaves you voicemail & postcards.
Its disrespectful that you feel unwanted & show no regard.
You say you can't keep a job because you don't have a wife you can call your own.
Snap out of your laziness, no woman wants a man in need of a loan.
Your paranoid & schizo, as if we had illegal taps on your phone.
Please seek counseling, there's absolutely nothing wrong with me, I'm not obsessed or in need of control.
I just want you to get yourself together & get out of my home.
Karma doesn't affect me, it only affects you, get over yourself, you too grown.
