DON'T ACT LIKE I NEVER TOLD YA

I KNOW I GOT TO BE RIGHT NOW, CUZ I CAN'T GET MUCH WRONGER


I NEVER WANTED THIS TO BE A COMPETITION.
IT WAS NEVER MY INTENTION TO "STEAL"THEM FROM YOU.
YOU MADE IT THIS WAY.
YOU MADE THIS A CONTEST, WITH THEM AS THE TROPHY.
YOU MADE THIS A RACE, WITH THEM AS THE FINISH LINE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD PUT THEM IN THAT POSITION.
IT'S FUCKED UP. CUZ THEY ARE FUCKED UP NOW. BEYOND REPAIR. THE SCARS FROM THIS BATTLE WITH STICK WITH THEM FOR A LIFETIME. IT'S TOO LATE TO FIX THEM. HOW COULD YOU?
WHY COULDN'T YOU BE RIGHT? WHY COULDN'T YOU STOP BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE? OVER WHAT? HAIR? NAILS? PICTURES? A TITLE? LOVE? THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LOVE ALL OF US. THEY DO. BUT YOU HAD TO MAKE THEM CHOOSE. IT HAD TO BE IF THEY CALLED SOMEONE ELSE BY A TERM OF AFFECTION AND ENDEARMENT THEN YOU WERE NO LONGER THEIR MOTHER. THAT THEY WOULD BE BETRAYING YOU. WHY MAKE THEM STRESS OVER THAT CHOICE? WHY MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT'S A CHORE FOR THEM TO SEE THEIR FATHER? WHY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY SHOULDN'T WANT TO? BE HAPPY TO?
WHY MAKE THEM VALUE ONE SIBLING OVER ANOTHER? THEY'RE ALL BLOOD. WE LIVE FOUR BLOCKS AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER-IT WOULD BE NOTHING TO SHARE TIME FAIRLY. BUT WE'RE ALWAYS IMPOSING. ALWAYS ALWAYS ASKING FOR MORE THAN "OUR SHARE" WHY IS OUR FAMILY NOT ENTITLED TO THE SAME TIME????? WHAT JUSTIFICATION DO YOU MAKE FOR THAT? LEAVING THEM WITH SOMEONE ELSE FARTHER AWAY WHEN WE ARE RIGHT THE FUCK HERE? EVERYONE ELSE SAYS YOU'RE CRAZY. TOTALLY PSYCHO. BUT I KNOW-KIDS, YOUR KIDS, CAN MAKE YOU CRAZY. SO I HAVE TRIED MORE THAN ANYONE TO MAKE SOME KIND OF JUSTIFICATION FOR YOUR ACTIONS IN MY MIND. AND TO BE UPSET OVER WHEN YOU FEEL YOU'RE BEING SLIGHTED, I CAN UNDERSTAND. BUT TO TELL THEM THE THINGS YOU TELL THEM????? I CAN'T. I REALLY CAN'T. THEY'RE CONFUSED. THEY'RE ACCOMPLISHED LIARS AND FAKES, JUST LIKE YOU. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? THAT WHAT YOU WANTED? FOR THEM TO HAVE TWO FACES TO WEAR AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. IT COULDA BEEN RIGHT. THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF. BUT YOU NEVER STOPPED USING THEM AS PAWNS. AS BARGAINING CHIPS. AND AS A CLAY TO IMPRESS YOUR HATRED UPON.

I NEED YOU TO HURRY UP NOW
CUZ I CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER
I KNOW I GOT TO BE RIGHT NOW
CUZ I CAN'T GET NO WRONGER
MAN I WAIT ALL LIFE NOW
THATS HOW LONG I BEEN ON YA
AND I CAN'T WAIT NO LONGER

NOWNOWNOW THAT DON'T KILL ME CAN MAKE ME STRONGER.

AND I HAVE GAINED SOOOOOOOO MUCH STRENGTH FROM YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE MISTAKES I'VE LEARNED FROM. YOU SAY WE'RE THE SAME. BUT WE'RE NOT. AT ALL. THE ONLY THING WE HAVE IN COMMON IS "H" WORDS. YOU CALL ME A "HO" AND I CALL YOU "HEIFER". OTHER THAN THAT. I'M BETTER. AND I'M NOT GONNA STOP. IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT.

SMARTER. PRETTIER. THINNER. TO SAY THE LEAST.
WORK IT HARDER MAKE IT BETTER
DO IT FASTER MAKE IT STRONGER


HARDER. BETTER. FASTER. STRONGER.
